Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: Mayweather is TBE? Never Came Close To What I Did!

[patscorpio]

i didnt stan roy or anything but id be lying if i said he wasnt the most seriously physically gifted boxer that ive seen in the last 20-25 years

[Removed Now]

so now 35 is young?

If your calling your self the GOAT then yes for that is young. Floyd is fing 40! Yall musta forgot! Lol get the f out of here

Real fans of boxing and not those that became fans because of Mayweather would completely agree. Floyd claims The Best Ever, not of his generation. This means the litmus test must include SRL, Hearns, Duran, Chavez Sr, Wilfredo Benitez, Aaron Pryor et al. These guys would have kicked the **** out of Mayweather. In fact, to the knowledgeable fan, there are numerous fighters that have done more than Floyd for fight fans including Pac man whose legacy to boxing will far outweigh Frauds. History is layered with guys that would kick Frauds ass.

Every time someone says "he can beat Floyd" Floyd beats them & you guys come up with another excuse & another guys that "can beat him." Floyd can beat all those you mentioned. Floyd is T.B.E.

Roy is right . Floyd never even tried to go to 160

154 to heavyweight .
Wow almost 50 pounds .

You know how many struggle to go from 160 to 168
Or 160 to 175.

How about 154 to 168??

Roy was phenomenal. Floyd picked and choosed his way through fighters who werent prime . Floyd doesnt have one prime hall of famer in his resume, not one.

See, this is that dumb talk with NO FACTS.

The problem is that Roy really damaged his legacy by fighting too long.

meh, nobody will talk about roy fighting for too long in 50 years. they'll talk about the dude who threw three left hooks at once, and won world titles from MW to HW.


losses, especially in your late 30's or 40's, shouldn't take away from what you accomplished. and they don't. losing doesn't take a win away.

It's the truth or y'all must've forgot!

I had the pleasure and privilege to follow Roy's career during his prime. I can tell you there were few fighters who were as exciting to watch. His speed and reflexes were off the charts. Like any fighter, he had his weaknesses, but it wasn't until he came down from HW that we saw a rapid decline in his reflexes. He was a shell of the man he was at 168, which was Jones at his best. P4P I would rank Jones higher than Mayweather any day.

I still rank Robinson above Jones. Robinson had 199 pro fights and was only stopped once inside the distance, and that was from heat exhaustion. Great footwork, hand-speed, solid chin, power, reflexes, he had it all.

You just a Floyd hater, your just like max putting #48 over T.B.E. on the all time list....LOL

And you're just a Floyd cheerleader. Shake them pom-poms.

Ruiz is an fat lazy Bum. I would rate floyd higher if he went up to beat lemeiux. Ruiz is one of the worst heavyweights. Come on now who defends this bs. Any other heavyweight Roy gets folded. That fight was hand picked FOH.

like i said he can be bum of the century. roy still made history that night and thats set in stone. never mind lemeiux if floyd had picked up a paper title from willie monroe at 160 he would've made history that night and would've bragged about it nonstop. same way you can discredit manny picking up a 154 lb title vs margarito but never even considering facing sergio martinez. in the history books pac made history and thats all that will be talked about.

Mayweather considers himself to be TBA (The Best Ever)

Fuckin'... Boxing Dumbass at it again. :durr1:
