    Finally he says something sensible.

    I don't think Roy Jones is the greatest of all-time, but he is by far the best fighter since Sugar Ray Leonard. People bang on about Floyd Mayweather going 44-0..? Roy Jones technically went 49-0 and in that time captured the middleweight, super middleweight, Undisputed Light Heavyweight/And has the record for the most belts EVER held in one division at 6-8 belts i think! And Roy Jones captured the WBA Heavyweight title!

    Its a myth that he had no boxing fundamentals, that's something people say to sound intelligent. Boxing is a physical sport, all this boxing fundamental **** is nonsense. If it was just about Fundamentals, Lennox Lewis, Larry Holmes, Ronald Winky Wright..? none of these guys would of retired.

    Larry Holmes had great boxing fundamentals what happened to him..?

    Ronald Winky Wright had great boxing fundamentals what happened to him..?

    Why did they start getting beat..?

    They got old and their bodies could no longer do what their minds wanted. That is all that happened to Roy Jones Junior. No matter what people say guys like Bernard Hopkins and Floyd Mayweather rely heavy on their athleticism. Floyd Mayweather biggest asset most of the time, is his share athletic ability. And still Bernard Hopkins at 48, still has more co-ordination and athletic ability than most 175 fighters. The day these guys bodies begin to deteriorate..? its over.

    Skill for skill, Roy Jones Junior technically is the best fighter and the most gifted fighter i have seen since Sugar Ray Leonard. He not only had a great defence, unlike Floyd Mayweather his offence was just as good. People moan that Floyd Mayweather's fights are boring..? Its because his offensive ability is not on par with his defence. Floyd Mayweather's idea of a combination is to pause for 0.5-1second in-between punches! Manny Stewart during the Baldimore fight stated that Mayweather is not as fluent at combination punches as Sugar Ray Leonard or Roy Jones Junior.

    When you out match somebody in the speed, co-ordination, and technically departments! and still only land single shots! and still can't beat a guy down and knock him out...? Which is what Floyd Mayweather struggled to do up against Guerrero!

    Your offence is lacking.

    Its Floyd Mayweather's one weakness, the kid's offence is nothing special.

    If Mayweather had a average defence he would of lost his 0, a long long time ago.
