    Usually, no, imo. Mayweather was so highly regarded going into the fight, had boxed at lw before (for what its worth), Castillo was seen as #1 before the fight was made, and there was no unification fights going on, so it was recognized by boxing as for the title of 'the man' etc. There was no controversy as far I know.

    You asked for names, and you got them you clown, now if you don't know the answers, don't bother responding.




    Loudon >> realsoulja

    That's not even up for debate.

    Let's start out easy, Steve Collins, Frankie Liles and Michael Nunn. Why didn't Jones face these guys?

    Floyd Mayweather Jr wasn't really as highly regarded. This is the P4P annual ratings of 2002 by The Ring:-

    Bernard Hopkins
    Roy Jones Jr.
    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Vernon Forrest
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Kostya Tszyu
    Erik Morales
    Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    Lennox Lewis
    Shane Mosley

    I was just going by the information you put down, about the vacant title is fought by the top 2, and I was thinking how can FMJ be in the top 2 when he never fought in the division other than a few measly bouts one with a dancing boxer.

    More ***** moves from Team Elite ex toilet cleaner.

    One of the rags to riches stories of ESB.

    From cleaning HEADBANGER's **** stains to becoming the Team Elite General:shock:

    Do you think RJJ ducked DM? (yes/no)

    How can that be up for debate when I already accepted Loudon is a far more educated and knowledgeable poster than myself?

    The ink of a scholar is worth more than the blood of the martyr sometimes.

    As I am more of a warrior, and Loudon is more of a scholar.

    I have learnt a great deal of the man, even though his "ha" pisses me off at times, I ignore them.

    I am not sure why RJJ didn't face them.

    So now you have heard/read my reply, you can be a man and back up your previous statement, where this whole debate stems from and is going longer because you simply ducking the below, and want to talk about Loudon. I didn't mention Loudon first you did.

    You claimed RJJ ducked the likes of Chad Dawson.

    So who were the "likes" of Chad Dawson he ducked. Please put down a list so people can either learn from you, or laugh at your stupidity, which one of them depends on your list.

    And please, no more talk of Loudon. If you want to talk to Loudon, send him some PM's or something, I aint here to discuss Loudon, I am here to discuss boxing and own individuals for fun.

    This is what a true Team Elite General stated earlier to myself

    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13585274&postcount=1078

    I read ESB HOF'er HEADBANGER's words and thought this ex Team Elite toilet cleaner Knockout would live up to his hype.

    Knockout artist has been exposed as a ESB hypejob. :deal

    :lol:

    knockout, to save yourself, and prove your hype, do as you previous owner and slave master HEADBANGER claimed you are capable off. Go

    with the real deal realsoulja. How can a coward be
    This content is protected
    . We know
    This content is protected
    than messing with the real deal realsoulja, but this is disgraceful behaviour from a Team Elite General.

    You claimed

    RJJ ducked the likes of Chad Dawson.

    Who were these "likes" which RJJ ducked?

    These are the men in our avatars.

    However, the fight between me and former Team Elite toilet cleaner/current Team Elite General has ironically been different.

    I have been landing the viscous straight rights, and knockedout has been saying "no mas".

    What is it with the Euros and their obssession with Jones Jr? It's probably one of the strangest ones I've seen on boxing messageboards.

    I'll never forget when they were saying Clinton Woods was going to give Jones a go and possibly beat him :lol: :rofl

    Who knows every European legend at the time had respect for Jones ..Who knows ..Maybe they just wish Joe Calzaghe was just as great ! Seems more envy than anything !

    All the great European fighters, Calzaghe, Eubank, Benn, DM, Collins all made comments about Jones' greatness and the respect they had for him...

    But the fans of those fighters are not sold..

    Maybe some of ESB's finest should have trained their hero, and make them believe Roy was just a fraud.:lol::lol::lol:

    It has more to do with Jones Jr. damaging his body losing at least 18 pounds of muscle, when he moved back down to light heavyweight after he beat Ruiz at heavyweight. Had Jones Jr. never moved up to heavyweight, he would have never lost to Tarver or Johnson, and Calzaghe would have never moved up to light heavyweight to fight him. When Jones came back down, outside of looking like pounds of muscle had somehow been stripped from his body, he no longer had the ability to take a good shot, and he also lost all of his power.

    Really, you're more ****ing stupid than I imagined.

    Nonetheless, that's your question, to which I answered


    To which you answered



    As I stated before, if you don't know, don't bother responding.

    I gave you the opportunity, and you didn't know, hence there's nothing more to it.

    But if you want to continue to talk to yourself, and delude yourself into thinking you won something, be my guest :lol::patsch
