from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
:russ:

I went down the YouTube rabbit hole at work, and watched multiple different interviews of Roy from the last 10 years downplaying Floyd’s accomplishments.

It’s like what is the underlying issue here? It’s gotta be a woman or something.

It’s gotta be more than a boxing thing.
No. Roy like a lot of other fighters dont like how Floyd tries to drags n disrespects other legendary fighters legacies in order to defend or prop up himself

You sound very naive.

Roy has been doing these subtle shots before Mayweather “dissed” Ali. He just don’t like the nygga and that’s okay

There tend to be beefs that boxers have that aren’t necessarily public

Paul Williams left 147 before any big fights could realistically happen there. I suspect it had to be the weight, but his team wisely marketed as “he’s leaving because these guys don’t want to fight him.”

If he could have stayed, he would have eventually converted from high risk/low reward to a draw that everyone is calling out. Thats the way boxing works.

He still went on to have a solid career.
exactly...the punisher got some names on his record even with a career that got cut before a proper ending

The thing is I just can’t believe he wasn’t a bigger draw. He had A-side PPV star potential imo.

A tall nygga that throws a million punches and every fight is action packed. He was never in a boring fight.

i think largely because he was avoided..sometimes it goes hand in hand..the canelo fight was going to be his big PPV fight...it could have changed his fortunes to A side PPV draw if he beat Canelo...fate is so cruel :francis:

wasn't the pavlik fight supposed to be PPV too before pavlik chickened out?

No that would have been on regular HBO.

Now that I think about it, it was a little harder to get on PPV at the time.

Wow turki called out Boots Ennis saying he was asking Turki for a tune-up fight and basically said everyone at 154 is scared of Bakram fight loool. He got 0 takers for that fight

Via thaboxingvoice turki interview
damn thought the Boots duck was about the Vergil fight Turki was trying to make
154 so stacked Boots might have to go crate digging to find a "tune up" . How many big fights has Boots turned down at this point :huhldup:

"That's why you stopped throwing punches when you fought a real one, you got dropped..........when you get dropped, you don't get back up & fight back"

That nikka got quiet & STFU for a second :mjlol: :mjlol:

Low Key they may as well make these nikkas fight and winner gets the Fundora/Tim winner and then can unify for the Lubin/Bak fight. PBC can prob pull strings and make this for Vacant WBA since Mell is champ in recess

Mell vs Thurman makes total sense & Mell was trying to downplay how big the fight would be

It would do good numbers & it's a guaranteed action fight. With a solid undercard, this would do numbers

And like you said, the winner gets Fundora/Tim winner
