On KRS One's nose, eating sunflower seeds.
hbo commentators used to tear roy apart for not taking certain fights and for being boring. He's been trying to change the narrative these last couple of years but i lived that shyt lol

thats why he said in yall musta forgot "they said i aint fight nobody"

nikka would be fighting dudes like glen kelly and shyt on the regular lol
Exactly! He made a whole damn song about it. And he’s my niqqa but he’s wrong in this situation. They questioned his opposition back then when he could’ve fought better fighters. He literally fought a damn COP. What cops Floyd fought in the peak of his career?? None.

For all of the casuals and young dudes up here who wasn’t there. I found this on a boxing forum from 2015. Funny how fans were accusing him of the SAME exact things he’s accusing Floyd of. And they said Floyd was following after Roy’s blueprint. And let’s keep it 100, anyone who was following boxing back then has to remember Roy having some boring fights because he wouldn’t engage. He’s my GOAT but since he’s dissecting careers…






More from a forum on 2010. Most of yall casuals don’t even know who theses boxers are. But you’re up here spewing nonsense.

Boxing Forum post from 2010​

Did Roy Jones duck these fighters? And why?​

Nigel Benn - YES - Avoiding a big puncher
Chris Eubank - NO - Eubank stated in interview that he didnt want to fight
Gerald Mcclellan - YES - Avoiding a big puncher
Steve Collins - YES - Even Freddie Roach says Collins would win
Michael Nunn - NO - Moved up in weight for fight with Toney
Joe Calzaghe (prime) - NO - Why take a risk on an unknown fighter
Bernard Hopkins (prime) - YES - Couldnt agree on money split
James Toney (LHW) - NO - Different weights
Dariusz Michalczewski - NO - Didnt want to fight outside of USA becuse of olympic robbery (fair enough)
Vassilly Jirov - YES - Avoiding a big puncher


The following isn’t Red Bull’s assessment, it’s from fans:

I honestly believe Roy Jones avoiding big punching competition during his career because of his chin issues which clearly him and his team knew about his entire career.

However, I dont think Roy can be blamed for all the fights not happening in particular the fight with DM. I mean why would anyone want to fight in Germany especially after the Reid vs Ottke debacle?


Thoughts?

Yeah his competition was being questioned in real time.


However, he is likeable and went on to lose 9 more times after the Ruiz fight, so all is forgotten

He's obviously hating when he starts bringing up Paul and Khan. Nobody in their right mind thinks they do anything with Mayweather. But the points that are valid are the timing of when he fought some fighters, though I don't know if I can say Floyd was outright "Ducking"


Ducking is a strong word. Wanting the odds in his favor is probably more accurate. But im pretty sure thats where managers and promoters come in isnt it? Cant always put that on the fighter. Managers do what they can to protect their fighters from potential Ls.

Even so, Paul himself said he wasn’t a big enough opponent to fight Floyd at that time.

I actually thought Paul could have beat Floyd, obviously coulda woulda


Floyd should have made that fight.

As floyd was allegedly better at fighting tall fighters than most in history. In his weight class. If you go by most boxing pundits ideas.
of mayweather versus opposition.

Floyd's issue is. Floyd is a top flight nepo baby in an era. After the school systems changed. Plus draft laws came into effect.
to remove boxing being taught damn near anywhere. So floyd is a by product of an era.
where there was not much talent. Yet floyd did everything to not face opps. When floyd could have.
Yet floyd also got his payday from insider training.
on the last gen talent in dela. As dela had a conflict of interest using a mayweather corner.

Now granted the partnership is how floyd got the fight more than likely. Yet the fight is tainted from a conflict of interest. Similar to ali v holmes.
Of course you can beat ali if you were their sparing partner. You are behind the curtain and don't have to do any discovery from afar.

Same for dela v pbf turned money may.
Glad the fight happened. Yet the fight is tainted as all fukk. As all mayweather engagements. Have some odd caveat to take place.
From as far back as his hands being damaged. Maybe the caveats are generally there for others in the industry. So maybe pr may be a bit to off the chain. Given floyd was into it with former boxing promoters and using a boxing promoter in haymon. Who knows how to get things executed besides any intrepidation. With those variables and caveats turning out.
in positive box and gates figures.
So there is critique of mayweather. Yet given the circumstances of the industry of boxing. Floyd found a way around theee variables. Some i don't agree with. Yet floyd still won those encounters. So floyd is given credence by most. Yet the talking point roy brought up is supervalid. When discussing mayweather at length.

Stop..

Roy fought glen johnson sir.

The most dangerous man.

With a damaged physiology.

That is similar to going through sepsis.

Isn't this the pot calling the kettle black?

People always criticized Roy for not fighting anybody.
If you are dominant in boxing, or any sport for that matter, or in any facet of life actually, people will just say your competition is weak and that’s the only reason you’re successful.

After roy made and chased history.

Trying to demean roy.
for losing after damaging his body physiology is bogus.
Ain't nobody really winning after dropping that type of weight. You will never be who you were.
Roy also had the issue.
of being on the tail end of boxing being made into a nuffin sport in america. Jist like floyd lived boxing being a nothing sport.
as fsr as pool of talent. So it was no more real drawing hw fights to take. Roy could have retired a hw. Just like mayweather retired. Yet mayweather never ever put on weight to chase history or fight like roy. So trying to demean roy for his losses. Is a caveat. That mayweather really can't diss on. As mayweather never added.
or went up to do anytbing like roy did.

Roy did the fukkin impossible. Much different than anyone in history.
we saw with our own eyes.

Plus roy was cheated.
worse than anyone we saw as well.

Floyd is a great boxer of the times. given the time.
Yet roy is really a real all time great.

The Floyd hate is crazy. I don’t think Floyd ducked anybody. They were ducking him when he was young and hungry Mosley and Oscar tried to wait Floyd out it just back fired

This post needs more traction and highlights

I don’t want yall that post after this to duck this like yall claim Floyd ducks fighters
