Why Doesn't Roy Jones Jr. Consider Floyd Mayweather Jr. A Top Boxer Of All Time?

Roy is just salty because he was the best of his era but blew it. He said top 10 because he can't name old timers off the top of his head, not because he was complimenting Floyd.

 

Jones Jr. Knows what he's talking about.
Personally I don't consider May Jr in the top twenty-five fighters in the history of the sport TBH.
May Jr.s resume looks good on the surface. And may sell to his know it all fan base.
But when digging a little deeper, it's mostly smoke and mirrors.
Not one prime or close to prime ATG to be found is my biggest red flag.
Look at the names:
Deloyhoya- past prime by almost 8 yrs, a part time fighter, part time cross dresser, part time cocaine addict at the time he fought May Jr. Yet some think he beat him.
Mosley:
Almost 10 yrs past his prime, was win some lose some stage of his career. Was always a plan "A" fighter , never seemed to have a plan "B", even in his prime. So was he an ATG?
Pac:
Past his prime, above his best fighting weight, conviently coming off a brutal ko loss, five years past when he and May Jr. We're originally signed to fight.
Marquez :
Best fighting weight was featherweight, past his prime, many hard fights by the time they fought jumped up in weight for the money.
Cotto:
Past his prime, many hard fights, and tough losses. Clearly on downside of his career by the time they fought.
Alvarez?
Not a great fighter, but learned how to pick his opponents carefully, something he picked up from May Jr.
None of those fighters were successful after they fought May Jr. with exception of Alvarez.
A big indicator of where they were in their careers.
Another indication is Vegas, bookies don't win by losing money.
May Jr. Had 50 pro fights (allegedly) , only one fight he wasn't favored to win.
The Diego Corrales fight, a fight ironically he looked his absolute best, and demonstrated his potential for ATG status.
But that was "Pretty Boy" Mayweather Jr.
"Money" Mayweather became primarily focused on keeping his "0" and making the most money possible with the least amount of risk
He achieved that.
Good for him.
But he doesn't belong in the top 25 in the history of boxing.
One man's opinion...

 

I’m a Money fan and no way in hell is he top 25 , I would put him and Pac-Man no higher than top 30-35 calling it like I see it.
