    The paper said the guy he was facing had around 20 amateur fights, so the disparity wasn't that huge. Turning pro with zero amateur fights is usually a shitty idea, though.

    Jones supposedly won the first round. You'd think if he was predisposed to head injuries, he'd have incurred some as a football player... Maybe he did, maybe that was the problem. That, a congenital vascular defect, or he got hit with the perfect punch :/ The paper also said he was speaking but "having trouble" after the KO. Went downhill quickly from there...

    Quiet fool.

    Mayweather is not in this situation, more like the first few guys Floyd has fought against were- complete no hopers with no chance nor experience. He fought better guys as a kid.


    Floyds not afraid of other boxers except pac anyway

    fortunatley no one else is, no one else has this issue.

    Perhaps you should be praising the guys who take the extra risk and have no chance ? And not the extremely skilled and rich who dont meet even competition?

    Whaaaat ?? I never said anything about Floyd.And I fought Glenn Johnson for
    $600 so I think calling me a coward is kind of silly.But I guess I been called worse.
