More Impressive in his Prime: RJJ or Mayweather?

Hopkins was green. He went on to have a draw in his next title shot.

 

Because you don't know much about boxing, you thought Mugabi was a greater win than Hopkins atsch

I stopped replying to you because and also avoided my questions, don't admit when you make a mistakes and have an incredible bias. All in all you're disingenuous, SO NOW YOU KNOW WHY

If you want to make a thread about Hopkins been better than any official win of Hagler's go ahead, state I was the source, then do so. I wouldn't myself as I've debated with better posters than you about that question already

A draw that was a hometown robbery on par with Whitaker-Chavez, well played boxrec warrior

They couldn't burst a grape with their punches you tool, anyone who knows anything about these fighters knows they're none punchers but lt's guess you're a ***** who's followed the sport for 5mins

 

I haven't seen the fight but I still don't think Hopkins was prime yet when he fought Roy. But still as I said before it was a great win for Roy but it was his only great win.

That wasn't my list. As I clearly stated.

 

I'm not a '*****' if the poll was Pacquiao vs Roy I'd have the same opinion.

 

What????I was no Jones fan but he was way more impressive in his prime then Mayweather.

Jorge Castro-future champ 70-3-2 when he fought Jones and Jones won every round.

Bernard Hopkins-Roy won when both were still young the first time.

Thulane Maligna-future champ and he could fight-Roy embarresed him before knocking him out in 6.

Thomas Tate-pretty soild contender-lasted 2 rounds with Jones.

James Toney-EMBARRASED by Jones.

Tony Thorton-Soild contender went the distance with Toney and Eubank.Couldn't get out of the 3rd round vs Jones.

Merqui Sosa-Was to supposedly own one of the best chins in boxing-got crushed in 2 rounds.

Virgil Hill-Lightheavyweight champion had never been stopped-Roy took him out with 1 punch in only 4 rounds.

Reggie Johnson-2 time world champion.Roy embarrased him and won every round.

When Roy was in his prime he just DOMINATED his opponents.
Latter in his career he did cherry pick an awful lot-like Ruiz,Kelly,Gonzales etc but that shouldnt take away from his earlier accomplishments.Mayweather on the other hand has been cherry picking for AWHILE now.

 

Me neither since atleast Roy depended ALOT on his ahtletic ability.

 

Well Hopkins was physically primed at 28, he was actually quicker with much greater stamina throwing 100 punches a round at times but he would become more rounded technically. Although if you watch him around the time, he still has some nice technical skills and tricks

Toney was a better win, weight drain excuses or not Toney was many people's no1 P4P when Jones shut him out. If you don't know the magnitude of that win then you didn't follow boxing around that time. Toney had been in with a who's who of boxing in Nunn, McCallum, Reggie Johnson, Barkley, King Charles Williams, etc etc

Virgil Hill was a LHW champion for 10years. Reggie Johnson was for many people undefeated when Jones beat him. Harding beat Tarver and Griffin. Ruiz was fighting the beating the best HWs bar Klits/Lewis and would never be dominated like this before or since.

Malinga is probably on most of the ignorant posters 'bum list' and not only did he beat Nigel Benn, he was robbed against him and fought Eubank and Rochiagani to a controversial losses that could have gone either way

Oh right, so some chinchecker who's obviously never boxed and has no clue about which fighters are punchers are not is a source, that you seem worthy of quoting

And you'd be painfully wrong, Pacquaio hasn't been in the ring with anyone nearly as good as Toney or Hopkins. Not close, Barrera's is closest, Morales who got shutout by Raheem is probably a worse opponent than Hill

 

In the thread about Leonard-Mayweather, you stated that Mayweather's 'never been the most mobile'. Have you ever watched Floyd Mayweather fight!?

Mugabi was a good win, especially as Hagler was clearly past prime. Hagler's win over Hearns is greater than Jones' win over a green Hopkins, who had achieved nothing at that point, and needed another two attempts to win a world title. Also, if they fought at MW Hagler would KO Jones.

I answered every question you asked. You stayed away from my last post you clown.

You made the claim, I challenged you to put your money where your mouth is, you walked away with your tail in between your legs.

Where's the thread? Or are you gonna admit that you're wrong?

 

stunning piece of research cannucks, your evidence clearly shows what happens to cheats when they fight from a level playing field and even more notable, your research demonstrates why the fighter cheated in the first place :deal

Your words PowerPuncher. Have you ever actually watched Floyd Mayweather fight?

 

hagler would absolutely wipe the floor with a steroid free roy jones jnr.

how the **** could jones compete with hagler when jones folds like a lawn chair when faced with adersity, couldn't adapt in the ring, had no plan B, and possessed one of the worst glass jaws the sport has ever seen

you roy jones fanboys need to get a grip on reality, your hero worship and delusional views are sickenning. you are not fans of the sport, you just sit their with your blinkers on, swilling roys cum around your gormless chops.

 

Roy by a country mile. You will find another fighter that comes along with boxing skills like Mayweather, we see it all the time. You will not find another fighter with the skills and reflexes as Roy, that is like a once in a lifetime deal.

 

Roy fought in a division that was weak one division up and down. That was not his fault at the time. He beat everyone worth a crap at middleweight and moved up for lack of comp. The only person who he did not fight was Dariusz Michalczewski and that was because he would not come to the states to fight. And I tell people this, the only reason Roy starting losing was because he went up 25 lbs to fight at heavy then immediately lost it to fight back down at Middle/Cruiser. If he would have stayed at 175 he would have prob been undefeated.
