Roy Jones "Floyd needs to fight Prime fighters"

:good

 

Good post in response to a very stupid post.

 

You can disagree as much as you like. But if you are going to count Castillo and Corrales, I am most certainly going to toss in Virgil Hill, who is greater than they are by far based on accomplishments. Not to mention he beat a HW beltholder. Their resumes aren't actually all that close.

 

yup, people always try to bash RJ for allegedly fighting bums, but yet no1 can list the bums he fought. ANd the alleged bums he fought were ex champions are were all top 10 contenders.

 

Who was the aussie guy that worked as a garbage collector that Jones "fought" in a PPV no less??

 

Its funny you don't hear much about Roy beating Virgil, for some reason Roy haters always leave that one out. Roy crushed him with a single body shot, that was an amazing victory.

 

Say what you will about RJJ, at least HE didn't need gifts like PBF got against JLC and ODLH.

 

C'mon man, i'm supposedly the biggest Floyd hater here (a term that has NO Meaning whatsoever BTW...), but there's no doubt Floyd won.

 

It wasn't an Aussie. It was Gonzalez....he was a garbage collector in his spare time before his fight with Jones. He was also a top 10 Ring LHW, unbeaten, and future Lineal and WBO champion. And it wasn't on PPV. Most of Jones fights pre Ruiz were on HBO for free.

 

Gonzales also beat the guy everyone said Jones was ducking.

 

Its funny too that Jones is critisized the most for that, to me I think it is more on DM, who refused to fight Roy anywhere other than his homeland. If he wanted to be the true champ, he should have come over here to face Jones... Jones was clearly the best fighter in the world at the time, and honestly I think Roy would have won by unanimous pretty easily. Thats not a fight in which i thought Roy would have been tested like others think. I don't think DM really wanted to fight all that much. You also gotta cut some credit to Roy, he was apart of one of the biggest robberys of all time, that would haunt me for life about going overseas also i think.:yep

 

he didn't beat castillo the first time :nono

 

If it were gifts, what about 1st Tarver fight? :think

 

Being a top-ten contender doesn't necessarily mean not being bum. Even mandatory can be bum, Hence Cosme Rivera vs Judah. Even a champ can be a bum, why not?

 

Floyd already tried to fight Hatton and Cotto but both weren't ready at the time and Hatton is still not ready and might never be.
