Floyd is responding to this video
Still doesn't change what Roy said. Sugar Ray Leonard beats Floyd
If Floyd would've faced Paul Williams, Vernon Forrest, and Margarito... Fighters in their prime that he ducked because they have a physical advantage over him.... Maybe this video would have been funnier
Can't duck lions in your weight class, turn yourself into "Money Mayweather" carefully picking opponents, then criticize fighters for losing for challenging themselves to go up against Lions. Doesn't work that way

Both were matchup problems during their prime.
Prime Roy was a different tier though. Outclassed some all-time A1 pure boxers like Hopkins, Toney, etc. that have made so many other pure boxers look ridiculous. Those are still feats Mayweather didn’t do, so I think it’s a valid question as I think the best pure boxer win he got was against an older DLH, to which he got lumped up.
Posting a video of Roy getting KO’d well past his prime doesn’t prove anything. I’m just glad Roy isn’t slurring his speech heavy after all the knockouts late in his career. Still has clean speech and no crazy sign of CTE.
As for the fight:
Ray Leonard is much bigger than Floyd, taller with a longer reach, fought at heavier weights and big wins against heavier fighters some of which are Hall of Famers. I’ve said before size and reach don’t win fights, but Ray Leonard’s athleticism, skills, etc. makes it too much.
Mosley’s punch is nothing compared to what Ray could drop and Floyd isn’t hurting Ray like a Hearns, Hagler or Duran so Leonard would gladly exchange and aggressively counter. This is a guy who fought Duran in a phone booth for 15 rounds. Ray would not be scared to take a hit from a smaller fighter like Floyd to land dynamite. Ray Leonard had knockout power for 15 rounds and a jaw to take punches for as many rounds. Leonard’s ability to adjust mid fight and change different game plans was crazy too like against Hearns and Hagler.
Floyd maxed out the Pernell Whitaker framework, but that’s too small a build to fight a prime Ray Leonard. Mayweather literally started out a featherweight and fought many fighters who also were also from smaller weights moving up which is why he had a physical advantage. None of those advantages exist vs Ray Leonard. It’s honestly a mismatch.
Floyd has been staggered before by worse boxers and weaker hitters so Ray Leonard would smell blood and finish whether right then or set something up later. Ray Leonard knocked out a Light Heavyweight champ in the late rounds out of nowhere, after getting rocked himself, the punching power is simply different. Ray got some of the heaviest hands P4P.
Prime Hagler, Duran and Hearns would been the best fighters Floyd would’ve fought. Leonard beat them.

Sugar Ray would stop Floyd at 147
Sugar Ray is a top 2 Welterweight ever imo
Floyd being disrespectful cuz he know Roy dont like him, Roy loved boxing and would risk his life in the ring even when he was old and sad
Floyd one of the best ever but he's very insecure

Tarver still has an L to Roy though bro, i dont count nothing past Roy first 50 fights, all that moving weight shyt clearly effected him
I understand that I just want to hear his opinion since he doing a lot of boxing media. A journalist/reporter should ask him at the next fight he attend.
What do you think of Roy Jones comments on Floyd?
Who would win in a Fantasy matchup Sugar vs Floyd?
I'm interested in what he will have to say to those questions.

Paul Williams was never a threat to Floyd.
Vernon Forrest ?
Margarito was kept away from Floyd by Arum who told Floyd he had to sign with him to get those fights.
Why are you here being disingenuous?

They for sure are gonna ask him, he respect Roy heavy so i think he'll take a neutral stance
Bud and Ray stopping Floyd at 147 imo tho, at welter they are on another level
Everybody are monsters and boogie men when Floyd didn’t fight them. But they all loss to lesser fighters than Floyd.Paul Williams was never a threat to Floyd.
Vernon Forrest ?
Margarito was kept away from Floyd by Arum who told Floyd he had to sign with him to get those fights.

And we don’t know what would’ve happened with Floyd and Sugar. Pure fantasy.
He doesn’t even know how he’ll beat Floyd, but everyone else does? Yall and Roy knows better than the man himself.
