Simple question for Floyd fans...........

[purecyse]

You guy should log off, lie down, think about what you said.

Most of Roy's career he would refuse to take the lead in his fights, but wait for the opponent to lead so he could set up his offense, even when he did come foward he would try and draw leads to counter, Roy Jones was a defensive fighter, Jones was a safety first fighter.

^^^
this is exactly what i was going to say. safety first perfectly summed up roy jones jr.'s style. it was clear he could have dominated just about everyone he stepped in the ring with but, there is a lot of risk involved when you're out there trying to destroy everything put in front of you.

often jones jr. would show that he could dominate his opponent whatever round he felt inspired and then he would relax for a couple of rounds and repeat the process. he would seem to almost carry opponents to lopsided decisions.

I think Roy is more liked than Floyd because he is more humble at his core than Floyd in public opinion. Floyd openly says he is greater than Sugar Ray Robeson, Ali, and all the other All Time Greats. Roy in his prime was very brash but never to the point to make such comments. There are many people who hate Floyd for making such comments but I actually like that about him! Not that I believe him but it places so much pressure on him no matter who he fights! He better not ever lose especially to anyone we feel is a lesser fighter than he is!

So why has he left a 50mil dollar fight hanging in the air? i mean its not like there is not a possibility that his opponent wont wash his hands of it, yet mr " i dont fight for legacy, only for money" still aint made the fight, and its not like Pac aint agreed to do tests, he has, its also not like there is a shred of evidence to be asking for the test, yet he is still ready to do commision test and OST to a certain degree, hell id fight Pac for that and let him take what ever he wants.

Another statement of ignorance. That seems to happen a lot around here. What tests has Pac agreed to? Provide a link also. If your link does not have a quote from Arum or Manny confirming they agreed to full random blood and urine testing up to the day of the fight, then don't bother.

Since you will not be finding that link, I will just correct your question for you. You know, to point you in the right direction. So you can start a thread and maybe seek some answers.

So why has Manny Pacquiao left a 50mil dollar fight hanging in the air? All he has to do is agree to full OST.

Your welcome, I am glad I could help.

Roy Jones is more popular than Floyd Mayweather.

I have now heard it all.

[MayMosPeaHop]

Roy is not as popular as Floyd. Roy is accepted more because no one really cares what Roy has to say anymore. If he was still a P4P champ, he would be hated. Maybe not like Floyd, but definitely hated.

[Scott9945]

Roy was more well liked because although his ego was every bit as big as Floyd's, he was a much more likeable person.

I do have to say however that I met Floyd once and he couldn't have been any nicer.

WTH is "To a certain degree?" Doesnt ALL mean ALL...

[sicko]

Virgil Hill is a two weight champ....once the linear LHW champ....took Maske's undefeated record.

Griffin had just beaten Toney.....twice.....


and people try to **** at Roys resume, but a lot of guys he beat went on to become champs.....and Roy beat a lot of them way more easy than the other top contenders of the time.....i mean look at guys like Sosa, Wolfe, Gonzalez, Woods, Malinga.....Roy just made em look like nothing, but against other top SMW-LHW's, they gave em hell

once again all was GOOD Fighters...NOT GREAT!!! I remember how good Hill was but unfortunately fans today don't, so they look at Matches like Hill and Griffin and they act as if those fights was nothing, lets not act like people wasn't questioning Jones competition because they was questioning him just like they question Mayweather now AND he was accused of "DUCKING" fighters as well Gerald McClellan was one of them, Benn and Eubanks as well

[_original_]

Roy was not more popular than Floyd, WTF are you smoking?

Roy was not a defensive or conventional fighter, WTF are you drinking?

Roy did not take a lot of risks until late in his career, WTF are you snorting?
