Marinating on Mayweather and Roy Jones!

[brucelee]

I personally thought Roy Jones Jr. and Floyd Mayweather were great fighters. Although, I really don't feel Roy had a tough weightclass or much competition when he was still around (or still good for that matter).

Floyd is hated or crticized because of his out-of-the-ring attitude. He acts like a cocky individual. Oddly enough, while he's in the ring he's mature beyond his years.

I enjoy watching both and people maybe say Jones fought weak opposition and ect but actually look who he did fight and win.

Montel Griffin
Clinton Woods
Mike McCallum very old version
Bernard Hopkins
James Toney
Virgil Hill
Julio Cesar Gonzalez
Reggie Johnson
Eric Harding
Vinny Pazienza
Thulani Malinga


Thats good solid list of wins right there.

man people say that roy wasnt this or that because he never fought this guy or that guy. but he what he did to toney and griffen proved to me that he was the stuff. nevermind dominating everything else he fought. i think roy couldve survived (though definitely not dominate) in any era of boxing and i dont say that about alot of fighters.

I agree. Jones was just unbeatable during his prime. Whew, he is in my all-time greats.
