Roy Jones "Floyd needs to fight Prime fighters"

I didnt/dont think that anyone who reads my posts could believe that Floyd could be the best ever. Yes, I suppose I could have made a more elaborate statement, but didnt feel it necessary.

I said he need's at least 4 more fights rather than 1 to bump his resume into the top ATG WW status. As there are 4 actually 5 if one wants to include Cintron opponents at 47 that would add much respect and establish PBF as the MAN without doubt.

I agree, he wont reach his goal, and believe that he'll lose to at least two or perhaps 3 of the top 5 guy's at 47.

 

He still cleaned out LHW. It isn't mean in the literal sense obviously and never is. He beat the vast majority of the champions and contenders in that division.

 

We misunderstand each other again. You said for "PBF to be as good as he says he is". He thinks he is best of all time....I think it's impossible for him to reach this goal with those 4 fighters. I should have elaborated on what I was referring to in your post.

Now if he cleaned out 147, then 154...well, we could have the conversation.

 

I honestly don't recall it. But either way, both fighters had legit claims to being "the man" at 175.

 

Well said when it was all said and done DM turned out to be like Anotnio Margarito ...I hope people are not saying that MW fought better op or better prime fighters than Roy ..Let me know when Floyd clean out any division ..As good as MW is he is really delusional .His career will continue to have a big question mark until he gets in the ring w/ a fighter as good as he and is in their prime .

 

RJJ is a god

 

I just dont see PBF ever passing 128-1-2 and simply dismiss his nonsensical idea and claim. Technically what you are saying is correct, I just didnt elaborate because I find it absurd and meant 4 fights to place him in the CATEGORY he see's himself in, which IMO is ATG WW. that would be a more realistic and obtainable goal.

 

Sorry Roy, no you didn't. :deal

Furthermore Hatton is in his prime; so what, he is a natural 140 lber, Floyd is a natural 135 lber, thus it doesn't matter. If PBF beats a Hatton or a Cotto he will have surpassed RJJ and Roy knows it. :good

 

Your on crack if you think fighting Hatton surpasses anything Roy has done especially winning a HW title ..When Floyd can come close to doing soemthing like that then you can talk ..And your also make these assumptions on a what if, the fight hasn't even been made w/Hatton yet .

 

So by beating one prime fighter, both of whom may or may not be ATG, he surpasses Jones beating of at least 2 prime ATG? Ok.....I see the logic there.

 

If Floyd wants to put a win up to beat what Roy did with Ruiz, he'd have to beat the winner of Calzaghe-Kessler.

The only fighter Roy could've fought but didn't was DM. I don't mind Floyd one way or the other and I do have him p4p #1, but you can make a list of guys at 147 he needs to fight. He hasn't cleared out any divisions like Jones did. Guys like Mosley, Hatton, Cotto, etc...Floyd needs to beat those guys to back up his lofty views of P4P ATG-ness.

 

I hope Hatton fights a rusty Floyd.. but i don't see this fight happening somehow

 

all i know is that a prime bernard hopkins is better than any fighter floyd ever fought......so in a way...roy has a point.

I respect roy beating a in shape James Toney and a Faster Bernard Hopkins more than anything floyd has done...

 

what about all the fighters he fought in his early days?? Corrales, Castillo? Judah, Mitchell, Gatti, Corley, Jesus Chavez, Emanuel Augustus, Angel Manfredy???? I like Roy a lot too...but that's sorta dumb for him to say, especially when he brings up Hopkins...when he fought Hopkins, Hopkins wasn't one of the best middleweights ever, that was pretty early in both of their careers. i'm TIRED of ppl talkn that type of ****. it doesn't make sense, so when a BOXER says it, whether i like the guy or not, i'ma have to say something about it

 

and then people want to talk about they want Mayweather to fight other ppl...Hatton, if he beats Hatton they will just bring up that Hatton has only beat a washed up Kosta Zsyu. Mosely, they will say he's past his prime. They all were sayin, "well if he beats ________ then he will get respect" then he beats the people, like de la hoya, judah...and people still talk **** and make excuses...they just want to c other people do bad in life and not want neone to succeed just becuase they rn't or because they weren't on his dick in the beginning and have made wrong hypothesis' about him
