Roy Jones "Floyd needs to fight Prime fighters"

Go look up the names. http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=001758&cat=boxer

There's Jones resume, pick them out.

No need to relax homie. But since this seems to be a common thing you like to say, I want you to back it up. I hope you weren't calling Malinga an aborigone as though thats all he was....he was a former SMW champion who lost a split decision to a prime Eubanks and beat Nigel Benn.

Frazier was a cop and a horrible fighter. The rest of the "bum of the month" club is a myth based on people wanting to see Jones fight other fighters....but the fighters he was fighting were not bums by any means, a vast majority being ranked in the top 10 by Ring and former champs.

 

I dont think Box-rec lists their primary occupations. . . but in RJJ's case, maybe they should.

 

So you don't know then. As I said, look it up. Most of the so called "Bums" were champions or Top 10 fighters. Not bums. You don't need to know their so called occupations to know what they did in the ring. And MOST fighters have another job before they make it big.

 

:rofl Very funny coming from a fan of Margo, RJJ has wins over Toney, hopkins, Taver, Griffen, Hill, Ruiz and a large number of guys ranked in the top ten plus he is the only man to become MW, LHW and HW champ of the world.

 

IRONY is funny sometimes. I admit that years ago, i criticized RJJ for not rematching guy's like Hopkins and Toney, instead feasting on guy's like Frazier,R. Johnson, Telesco, and Hall. But In the end?? He's done far more than Floyd to this point and I believe that Floyd has even managed to shoot his mouth off more

Roy's right, Floyd needs to shut hi trap and get to work, facing the PRIME and undefeated Champion/challengers of his era, and SSM since PBF made a big deal of Oscar and Shane is the better of the two.

 

1?? HELL NO!!! Try at least 4, if PBF wants to be the legend HE THINKS HE IS!!!!

 

He could beat all 4....he would not equal the best fighter ever, which is what he thinks he is.

Only one of the 4 mentioned is an ATG. And he is past his prime. He will never reach the status he believes he is.

 

Hit the road loser!:hi:

 

I dont remember the dudes names. . .I just remember Lamply and Merchant talking about how one was an Aborigone. . . and one was working in the orange fields etc. . . it wasnt that important for me to remember their names.

 

say what you wil about Margarito . . . but he has never bored me when he's fighting. . . RJJ has, more than a couple times.

 

Indeed!

 

DM rofl you must be joking! DM sucks and didn't want to fight anyone anyway. He got beat by Julio Gonzalez, who Roy made look like nobody in their fight, then Clinton Woods beat Julio, who Roy raped.

At the same token, B-Hop was close to his prime, Roy Jones wasn't in his prime either (also fought him 1 handed), so it balances out. Roy Jones prime came in the Super middle division and light. Roy has beaten many fighters in their prime; Floyd stopped fighting prime fighters after Castillo. Floyd back in jrlight, light weight = nice work.

 

Usually the bum of the month came from Roy's first 2 years of boxing when his dad was still his manager. He had him fighting in their home town, fighting nothing but bums. And Roy wanted to fight better comp and win a title, so he fired his dad and then his actual career started. People don't understand that this referred to his first two years as a pro, it followed him unfortunately throughout his career even though he went on to fight good competition, and great fighters.

 

I never knew that....thanks for the information. :good

Most fighters fight low level competition early on, not unusual at all.

 

If your applying that Ricky Hatton is a better fighter or would beat floyd than you got proiblems and you needa start watching boxing a lil more and learn more about the fighters...cuz ricky hatton as exciting as he is would get beat by Floyd with ease...and ur bad again...Floyd is a welterweight not a lite middleweight...he only moved up to lite middleweight to fight Oscar so hed actually only be fighting a guy thats a junior welterweight so its 1 weight class not 2...learn to get ur facts straight before u make posts lil boy...and as far as Roy Jones....his recent years hes been unfortunate and he does need to retire but he was a great lb 4 lb fighter and his athletic ability cant be challeneged by many athletes especially in the sport of boxing
