I think Mayweather is being too unfair to RJJ..
.. what do you think? Main thing is considering RJJ made it all the way up from Jr Middle to HW champion, is something Mayweather could never have done. He does not have near the frame or power.
Also, RJJ fought everyone they brought in front of him and wanted him to make a fight except maybe one. That German guy Dariusz whose last name I can't pronounce. RJJ could have worked harder to make that fight in my honest opinion. But it doesn't diminish him in any way, shape or form.
Mayweather replaying RJJ's hardest losses is a little unfair to RJJ. What do you think?

Floyd only did that after loads of criticism from RJJ in the first place.
And btw , I don’t think Roy is anywhere near as upset as he’s making out. I believe he is thinking about one thing and one thing only……….Money!
He thinks he might be able to make some moolah by fighting Floyd, only he hasn’t really thought it through.
1. Nothing will happen unless Floyd wants it to, and it ain’t happening.
2. Look at the size difference.
3. Floyd doesn’t need the cash like Roy does.
I actually think Roy is embarrassing himself. And I saw Floyd’s response on YouTube and to be fair, he was respectful and everything he said was true.
Interesting point about Roy and Ali being similar, in that their defence was their legs. And as soon as their legs had gone , their defence became the rope a dope technique.
Yes , it’s controversial because god forbid he criticises Ali, that’s sacrilege.
The same as when he said about Ali losing to a 7 fight novice at 34 years of age , while Floyd was beating a 23 year old Canelo when he was 37.
Now let’s be honest, we all have our opinions , but he never said anything untrue.

LOL. Good point.
Re: I think Mayweather is being too unfair to RJJ..
No idea what they're going back and forth about but saw a clip of Roy and he genuinely sounds off and a little bitter. As much as I dislike Mayweather, style, pompous ass and constantly needing to be in the front to the point of overshadowing their fighters at times etc, he handled the tail end of career much smarter. He had more overall to fall back on under his terms maybe. Even if the Berto and Conor charades were gar'bage. Then the farces with wrestlers, karate kids and having Roy shout you out. In fairness it's debatable Roy cleaned houses fighting everyone. No Benn Eubanks or Nunn at 168 or 175. No Michalczewski which was unfortunate. Different times though to be fair, today maybe that fight is made in an instant as 'traveling' is expected by top champs. Most anyway. The way Rocchigiani was screwed over by Roy and Wbc was pretty shitty. When the legs on Roy went and the chin cracked it just got pretty messy and sad tbh. He can still go on the mic from what I recall, a controlled setting, and some platform might benefit on a fight night. As opposed to Floyd who communicates like a wooden salesman discussing vinyl siding.
