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.

RJJ didn't openly duck Benn, Eubank or Nunn. But he did Michalczewski, I admit. But none of the other three were ever any serious consideration. He fought Toney and won handily. I think that was enough.

As much as I enjoyed watching RJJ at his prime, my last memory of him was that godawful exhibition vs Iron Mike.

At the end of it, a fit looking Mike seemed happy to provide some entertainment and seemed happy with the draw (although IMO he could've dispatched RJJ anytime he wanted to).

Meanwhile, a paunchy RJJ looked annoyed at the draw and didn't smile as much.
