I’ve been saying this for years. It’s so refreshing hearing one of the all time greats say this about Floyd.
So refreshing…

Floyd was 38 Manny was 36 and Manny is about to fight on Saturday at 46. Roy mad

Roy should have retired after that heavyweight adventure.

Floyd never disrespect Ali. He voiced his opinion just like Roy did to floyd.

My eye caught this thumbnail of Roy and I had to click on. Great interview brothas.

It’s something else going on with Roy and Floyd. I honestly never heard Floyd say one bad thing about Roy. Yet the energy gets real dark when Floyd is brought up by Roy

People like bucket hat hate on Floyd so much that he doesn’t realize he walked Roy into making the argument for why he is not great. “They got the nerve to say I ain’t fought nobody, I just make em look like nobody”

It always trips me out that they age Floyd in a vacuum. Everyone aged but him... Boxing tore everyone's body down but Floyd.

Also you can't choose who in your era. Roy and Floyd got criticism for making it look easy even against top opposition love them both

Great show fellas, some of the best boxing conversation I've heard in a long time. For the record, Roy is my one my favorite boxers of all during and after his active career. Keep up the excellent work and commentary. I will definitely continue watching your content.

“Got any excuses tonight Roy?”

Respect to Roy Jones Jr. He's been getting dragged about his Floyd comments the past couple weeks but what he said makes a lot of sense. People are hating to just hate at this point.

@jefriefultonii3666 1 year ago

Roy is my favorite fighter of all time, but he has some misses too. He didn’t fight Michael Nunn, Dariusz Michalski, Nigel Benn, and Steve Collins. Those men wanted to Roy at 168-175. Truth be told, Roy wanted a career like Floyd before he lost to Tarver.

This was entertaining. A healthy level of back and forth.

@ministerforprofitministerf1671 1 year ago

That was a good point Roy Jones made about Floyd Mayweather’s comments about Muhammad Ali. He’s right about that if you’re disrespect him, you’re disrespect anybody we all should agree with Roy Jones on that I could dig it.
