Floyd Mayweather is beyond any era. His style of fighting in past eras would be absolutely alien to fighters from late 1800’s til now. Roy Jones is wild disrespectful talking about another hall of famer like that. Roy too is great but reeks of jealousy and it’s sad.
Roy asked why Mayweather didn’t fight Kostya Tszyu because Roy he lost to Ricky Hatton and retired that’s why do your homework Roy
Alright floyd worshippers: lets put the very mature and still in prime mayweather who beat De La Hoya at 154 against the very green and just starting out at 154lbs Roy Jones, who wins???? Thats right Roy absolutely CLEANS THE FLOOR WITH FLOYD, he flat out embarrasses him and brutally knocks him out inside of 3 rounds, possibly to the point of people being HORRIFIED and floyd being pulled out in an ambulance, lets not be naive here people. Lets not forget how amazing roy jones was just because he had a short prime like most old school legends.
Ray Leonard is too big of a boxer for Floyd, which was Roy's original argument.
Floyd don't a single win on the level of Bernard Hopkins or James Toney.
Arguably the best pure boxer with athletic ability that Floyd beat was an older Oscar De La Hoya.
Andre Ward also trying to keep the peace and respect with Floyd too much, Floyd would turn on dude in a minute.
canelo had 40 pro fiights and 40 amateur fights when he fought floyd his age not an excuse. he def did get better after that fight tho
Roy didn't fight everyone he wasn't undisputed middleweight champion. Also when he went to heavyweight he chose to fight Ruiz and not Lennox Lewis. Roy needs to look in the mirror he fought so many bums going to play CBA games then fighting the same night. So how can he speak about anyone's resume. Kosta Tszyu , Moseley and Dela Hoya Floyd was chasing them. Floyd was great nobody was on his level that's how great he was.
I love Roy, but man he is a jealous hater 😂. As much as a Roy fan I am, Floyd has a waaay better resume than RJJ & fought way better fighters. Roy been throwing shade at Floyd for 10 plus years & Floyd finally responds & Roy is big in his feelings. It’s a bad look Roy
You don't know if we will beat Shane at 135? After watching him beat him already?! Yeah you a hater Roy, I can't believe it.
There was no one on his level. He was too good! And he tried many times to get Pac, Mosley and DELAHOYA.
Floyd would have done well in any era. Even Sugar Ray said that. He's too good for any Shane Mosley. None of them had Floyd's skills in the ring
Floyd showcased some real skills and toughness in fights against maindana and cotto. Go watch them again. Against bigger stronger guys.
You give Ali credit for beating foreman but discredit Floyd for beating canelo 🤯🤯🤯
The Floyd hate is real. I think Roy Jones and Floyd are both greats. Floyd is definitely in the conversation with GOATs though. Definitely for the 2000s. He carried boxing for years.
Roy Jones is right! Mayweather didn't wanna fight Paquiao at his best. He even didn't fight Canelo at his best.
Andre 'nut shot' ward
The issue is that no one was on Floyd's level.
Floyd is not that smaller than Floyd. And Roy name dropped Floyd so hey 🤷🏾♂️fighters are sensitive. And I’m extremely sensitive and boxing saved my life.
Roy just mad 😂😂😂
I’m so happy the comments know boxing 😂 Roy is mad as hell.
I love Roy jones jr he was a special fighter in he’s prime but he’s contradicting himself here he’s saying Floyd didn’t fight anyone on he’s level that’s not he’s fault he’s to good he made great fighters even legends look clueless in the ring he just don’t like him so he’s spiting he’s face by not putting him in he’s top 5 childish really he’s a 5 weight world champion undefeated 50-0 and beat more world champs than anyone so he’s spiting he’s has to be in everybody’s top 5 weather u like him or not
There was no one on Floyd's level. That's why he was great. Ali is the GOAT though.
Roy really ain't fought nobody if you think about it James toney very early Hopkins early come on roy
If Roy and Floyd fight; I’d like to see them train and take it seriously; not fat and flabby
Floyd fought waaaaaay better opponents than Roy did in his career. No question about it.
Roy said like a fool
You did not found shit
I'm done with Roy
Roy should go back and look at his old interviews before he speaks
call out Jake Paul Mr . Ward? Joshua a monster in that ring…
EDIT
Glad I was patient enough to listen.. apparently Ward has thought of fighting Joshua even after the Kolav fight.
Jones tripping…Hatton fought Tsyzu.. why tf would you use Tsyzu as an example ..
Jones tripping.
Diego corrales was in his prime…
Mayweather was NOT IN HIS PRIME vs. Mosley..Jones tripping
Floyd duck Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito and Forrest
Floyd just a zionsts sewage rat. He can never be on Roy Jones Jr level. Floyd fights were boring and send you to sleep, he never had Roy charisma.
Say what you want, but Roy is hating. Roy makes it seem like he fought nothing but dogs. Roy fought a lot of bums in his career. With exceptions of Toney and Hopkins. Which he beat, after that who has he faced? STOP HATING ROY STOP HATING
Never listen to a word that certain guys say, no matter how great they are. Roy Jones Jr. is one of them. How are you going to say “little guys can beat big guys. It’s about how great you are and if you have that dog in you.” Then turn around and say “oh he’s too small.” That doesn’t make any sense at all. Never listen to someone with no logic, and only hop temporarily from logic to logic based on whims that come to their brains.
