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

How old are you? That's something a 10 year old would be embarrassed to say.

Why would i be embarrassed to say that Floyd is greater than marquez? You stay ****ting on floyd so when someone says something about your favorite fighter you cry like a bytch. Lmao.

Not at all. I don't even care like that. I like Marquez career in that I don't have to defend him all the time about fights he ducked and his fights were very entertaining. That's enough for me. I'm not a fan that would give up on a guy if he lost like you fanboys. It's just something a child would say "well you say mean things but my guy is better than yours wah wah boo hoo".

I've seen my favorite fighter live on more than 10 occasions so I'm not an armchair fan like you. I'm not embarrassed to say that but most you Mayweather **** riders are just internet fan boys.

Sounds like a way to hype up his upcoming fight. Not a bad angle really.

I'd say overall though, that Mayweather had the better career. RJJ fought a lot of nobodies in his 175 pound days. The guys Mayweather fought were usually at least names and relevant. I always wondered why Roy didn't stay at 168 longer. I mean, you had Eubank and Benn and a lot of other guys there like even Frankie Liles and Michael Nunn. Just seems like he should have a few of those guys on his ledger.

but that is your perception, not of people who grew up with prime roy.

you need to think outside your own perception.

Ask any person who used to watch boxing about Roy Jones. You'll hear one of three things.

• "Didn't he go to rapping at one point?"
• "I heard he got his ass whooped by some British dude..."
• "He's still fighting?"

That's not perception. That's fact.

oh sht it seems "TBE" will be eclipsed very soon. wanheng menayothin will be the new TBE on the block. just two more wins and floyd drops to second place.

1. menayothin
2. mayweather
3. calzaghe
4. marciano
5. edwin valero

SRR lost like 20 times lol. straight bum juice. ali lost 5 times. weak.

Menayothin fought 49 cans. Don't nobody know who he is. More power to him though - he can keep on making $5k/fight after he passes the record. Assuming he doesn't get "Chocolatitoed".

Robinson, Leonard, Ali, Holmes, Lewis, Frazier, Foreman...etc etc etc. All greats. All legends. None are "The Best".

[Mr Objecitivity]

You can't be "the best" and have losses. That's the real reason Chris Eubank dropped "Simply The Best" - because he wasn't. And I say that as a big of his.

So you've just basically created an arbitrary criteria out of convenience to determine who is the 'best, is that correct'?

Likewise, I could do the same:

You can't be "THE BEST" whilst having FEWER WINS than other GREAT boxers.

Since

Winning more bouts > losing fewer bouts

Since

Boxing is about winning. Boxing isn't about not losing.

If one wants to stay undefeated, they can stay undefeated without ever stepping into the ring for a single boxing bout.

However, it's impossible to have a win without first competing in the ring.

And

Roy Jones Jr's 65 wins > Floyd Mayweather Jr's 50 wins.

And if we subtract the number of losses from Roy Jones Jr's total wins from his career record and do the same with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Then we have:

Roy Jones: 65 - 9 = 56

Floyd Mayweather Jr: 50 - 0 = 50.

Ergo, Roy Jones Jr's 56 > Floyd Mayweather Jr's 50.

Simple as that!

Statistically and factually, I've proven many ways Roy Jones Jr is superior than Floyd Mayweather Jr.

LOL Floyd would beat the living shiet out of those guys. And humiliate some of them. For me, Floyd was a combination of SRL, Roy Jones, and Pernell, but with a way better IQ than all of them combined. Floyd had all the athleticism that Roy had, and THEN some. He fought like a cat, or a cartoon character. Roy did not. Floyd's skills and temperament were out of this world!

floyd would beat the "living sht" out of duran, chavez and pryor? really... but he couldn't beat the "living sht" out of castillo? ok then. what makes u so confident floyd beats those guys? his fight vs oscar should've been a draw but one judge mysteriously gave floyd the 12th round (a clear round for oscar) and that gave him the split decision. . maidana arguably beat him the first fight. and the rematch was ruined by bayless. so u mean to tell me the guy that beat past prime oscar at 154 with a SPLIT decision will beat the "living sht" out of winky wright at 154? lol.

chavez sr is a style nightmare for floyd. i dont see any version of mayweather beating him. and im saying that based on his struggles against castillo, his war vs cotto, his split decision vs oscar and his war vs maidana.

when u say floyd will beat the "living sht" out of chavez, pryor, duran, leonard, hearns, whitaker and winky.. what is your argument to justify that? screaming "TBE" is not a strategy tell me HOW floyd beats the "living sht" out of those guys.

[Boxing Goat]

had roy retired after ruiz he would be correct. from the early 90's to 2004. that version of roy I would favor to beat anyone in history. even robinson.

i remember there were talks of him facing tyson after ruiz. i think roy would've beaten that faded version of 2003 mike.

floyd was never as dominant for any stretch of his career. even floyd at his absolute best i would pick guys like robinson, duran, pryor, chavez, whitaker, leonard, hearns and even winky wright to beat him.

so if we delete everything after 2004 roy is 100% correct.

^ This in a nutshell. Had he retired after regaining the LHW championship after he clearly wasn't the same fighter in Tarver I, he would have a very good claim to best all time. Also, what a lot of people don't realize is that Roys entire relevant career was when social media was non existent. He also had his Pacquio type fight against Toney very early. That fight could have been huge with social media and marinating another year.

That's ignorant delusion. Nobody cares about Joe beating shot Roy Jones and trust me, he wasn't big in rap either. You go sit back and imagine what would have happened if Joe would have sacked up and faced a prime Roy Jones. When your heart can't lie to you and you realize that Roy would have beat the piss outta him, come back here and apologize to the more knowledgeable posters in this forum.
