    Lmao. Beating the feather fisted sloth John Ruiz did not make Roy HW champ (Which was Lennox) - it earned him a trinket belt.

    As far as the interview goes - floyd's clearly speaking in regards to drug testing.

    except Pac agreed to the drug testing, and Floyd still won't fight him because Floyd's afraid for his health. Admittedly. That's a common sense position, but not one *****s can get behind eh?

    If you twist yourself up any harder trying to denigrate RJJ's achievements you're gonna sprain something.

    Also, 111 to 24.

    Lmao. Poll results don't mean ****. Floyd is the most hated fighter on this forum and Roy is one of the most loved.

    The fight is not happening because Bob Arum doesn't want it to. How many excuses did Arum make? Why is Arum already penciling in a November fight with JMM? Why didn't Arum call Schaffer or Haymon when Floyd told him to? Why was the only call made during the negotiations by Mayweather's camp?

    Pac may have agreed to take the test but Floyd still talks about it beacause -He hasn't taken it yet and his promoter refuses to negotiate so it's moot what Arum says publicly.

    As far as me "denigrating" Roy's accomplishments - Everything I said is 100% true. Roy cherrypicked one of the worst hw trinket belt holder of all time and refused to A) fight the true champ Lennox B) Fight his mandatory Vitali Klitschko

    RJJ was more impressive in his prime than Floyd.
    One could never refer to Roy's style as boring while Floyd's been accused of being a boring fighter many times and rightfully so.

    uh huh.... that's the latest ***** line, it's all Bob Arum's fault. I mean, why would Bob want to put on the richest fight in boxing history? He's only a boxing promoter, why would he ever want anything to do with such an event? lol You guys don't even believe your own bull**** anymore.

    Now ask yourself this: RJJ v. Hagler. In fact, RJJ vs. any MW or SMW that ever walked this planet, and you have to bet your life savings on the fight. Who do you choose? You know who you choose, and so do I. However, since you ***** and calslappy fans lie like republicans - I mean, you say this **** all the time and you don't believe a word of it your own self - you'll deny it, but your money, just like mine and everybody else's, would be on Roy Jones and I wouldn't waste ten seconds thinking about who to choose.

    Roy to me is more impressive but Arum is the reason this fight hasn't happened. You ask why wouldn't Bob want to put on the richest fight in boxing? Well bc with the split he would make less money than if he just matched Manny with someone from his stable. Its the reason why he refused to make the Mayweather vs Oscar fight in his own words.

    PowerPuncher stated that Roy Jones' win over Hopkins was greater than anything Hagler accomplished at MW.

    Out of curiosity, who agrees with this statement?

    Personally, I think it's a shocking statement, Hopkins had accomplished nothing at that point, and needed another two attempts to win a world title.

    Ofcourse not. I was merely responding to Bernie's claim that Roy beats everybody in the history of the sport from 160-175 easily.
