Roy Jones "Floyd needs to fight Prime fighters"

[ghoster]

Roy Jones answered back to the reports that Floyd Mayweather the current p4p number 1 said when Jones reigned as P4P number 1 he fought police officers and bums, Jones response was not civil " You have to understand that i won 4 titles in 4 different weight classes beat Bernard Hopkins one of the greatest middleweights of all time, Beat James Toney who everyone said was the pound for pound best and would whip me, cleaned out the Light heavyweight divison then went up and whipped John Ruiz, So i fought them in there prime all Floyd did was whip inactive, Past it Oscar so i say to Floyd go and fight some live bodies!!"


"you must have forgot"

Funny how he says 'inactive, Past it Oscar' yet somehow forgets to mention 'fat @ss, weight drained Toney,' or 'green as grass Hopkins.' As far as I'm concerned, the only above average fighter who also happened to be at his best when Roy fought him was Tarver, and I think we all know how that trilogy ended up.

Weight drained Toney? Toney was the middleweight champion when Jones started challenging him, Toney moved up to fight Barkley because he didn't want to fight Jones. The weight favored Toney more than Jones. Toney was also the p4p king then.

Hopkins had more pro fights than Jones when they fought. Hopkins had 23 fights, Jones had 21.

Sorry to have to break this to you, but Toney was NEVER THE P4P king. That title belonged to Pernell Whitaker off of his schooling of JCC. And also, Tony came into the fight with Roy weighing 186, 18 LBS OVER 168. That, my friend, is called being weight drained. And who gives a sh!t how many fights Hopkins had. He was not at his prime. Bernard, like Lennox, is one of the few fighters who never reached their apex until after their mid 30s. This is not disputed by anyone.

I stand corrected James Toney was #2 on the p4p list at Ring Magazine(made me look) and you were right. Jones was a 6-5 favorite going in(Ring 1995). also in The Ring march 1995 Toney blamed Jones' dominance on a flu bug he had and made no mention of weight.
