Roy Jones Jr Goes in on Floyd Mayweather

[NormanConnors]

He actually did mention that.
And he said Canelo fought the wrong fight.

For a guy who has a history of accusing others of not watching videos they comment on, it’s odd to see you write that.

Roy ducked G-Man, fought/ beat a weight drained James Toney, a very green Bernard Hopkins, a very very old Mike McCallum and etc. You can't talk about someone else career/resume and etc when yours has more holes.

Before people found out Amir Khan had a glass jaw, he was calling out Floyd and Floyd said it wasn’t a big enough fight, only for Floyd to go fight lesser fighters.

Khan before the Danny Garcia knockout was a problem and a good fighter.

Floyd is an all-time great but the biggest names on his resume (Oscar, Shane, Cotto) were all out of their prime or at the very tail end after being beat.

Roy is hating a little but anyone who knows boxing knows that once he went from Pretty Boy to Money Mayweather he became a lot more strategic in his matchmaking.

Pre 147 though Floyd fought anyone who wanted smoke and he was avoided by a lot of guys.

I think the problem is most people didn’t follow Floyd’s whole career, they only know the pre Oscar Maywetaher.

Shane had just come off of the Margarito fight, his career was at a high trajectory at the time and a fight with Floyd made perfect sense, so much people were picking him to beat Floyd, no one was saying Shane was past it until he got his whooped, by an older Floyd at that


Amir Khan?


Cats wasn’t saying Oscar was washed up until he showed up weight drained to fight Manny for a pay check. A better/still able to let the punches fly version fought Floyd and got his ass whooped as well. He was the bigger man that again people picked to beat Floyd yet didn't happen, once Floyd took away his jab, and stood him up with a few counters that buckled him a couple of times, Oscar put those punches back in his pocket, same thing with any high volume puncher that tried Floyd, and Oscar had one of the goat chins at that, so you know it was something there.

Whataboutism

 

[NormanConnors]

So Floyd did everything right and is beyond critique.

Nice.

Is he boxing’s Dear Leader?

Not saying that all, just saying Roy is wrong and being bitter

 

[NormanConnors]

Whataboutism

Those are facts, nothing what about about it

 

[manyfaces]

Boxing is such an outlier in sports when it comes to discussing career achievements because of the matchmaking aspect of it. There's so much nuance that goes into these discussions and angles that you can take when explaining when and why a fight did or didn't happen. And the reasons people select are typically going to support their personal bias toward or against said fighter. This doesn't change just because the person arguing is a fighter themself. These nikkas clearly don't like each other, so of course they gonna downplay, nitpick, and poke at each other's accomplishments and shortcomings. It's hating ass energy and ego on both sides. Arguing about who somebody did or didn't fight in boxing is fukking nauseating because no matter who they fought and when, there's always somebody that a bunch of people will say they would have rather seen. You just can't fight everybody on everybody's timing.

These same things can be applied to Roy too with 2nd fight with Bernard and shyt like the Calzaghe fight. At this point if the hate is that strong for each other, there's a clearly established profitable lane now so just do like Roy said and line that shyt up Get a fat check and take out your frustrations instead of throwing shade for free.

What the hell are you talking about. Groin Floyd’s come back to 2012 Floyd fought Marquez, Mosley, Cotto and Ortiz

3 of the 4 beat the absolutely dog shyt out of Khan. Ortiz is a toss up.


People found out Khan had a glass jaw when he got smoked by a journeyman Briedis Prescott and went life and death in a loss to Lamont Peterson.

People really say anything on here. You can tell they are former pactards.

You can’t argue boxing then don’t argue boxing

You can’t woulda coulda shoulda boxing. With Khans speed he should’ve been a top flight fighter but he had a weak chin and dropped his hands when throwing combinations and he couldn’t fight on the inside.


Reminds me of how people hyped Zab in the early 2000’s when it was clear he was a 4 round fighter.

Floyd fought Mosley after he destroyed Margarito and went to war with Cotto at 154 but was afraid of fukking Amir Khan who had 3 recover defeats against 140lbers. fukk outta here

You seem really passionate about this.

I am, not shyt knowing about boxing mfs been an epidemic in the sport that has yet to be solved

so where's the lie? floyd's career has been defined by hand picking chumps in order to run up the numbers.

the main example of this is ducking manny until manny was past his prime and then he FINALLY took the match

Then why hasn’t anyone else “run up the numbers” in boxing if that’s something you can do after defeating something like 24 world champions . Shut the fukk up

 

[Mister Terrific]

Floyd cherry picked a guy 13 years younger and 15lbs heavier

 

[NYC Rebel]

You still make no sense. acknowledge that what Roy said was debunked in here.

Arum said he and Pacquiao were "ignorant about the drug-testing stuff," when Mayweather first made the request for testing in the 2009 negotiations. He said Pacquiao has educated himself on it and has no problem to being tested and readily agreed to testing as part of his deal in getting the Mayweather fight.

Took Manny & Arum 6 years to educate themselves on drug testing. And you believe that shyt?
Please….answer the question.
