Roy Jones Jr, of 1998 would have cleaned Mayweather 's clock, Moranis. He had way more power and speed and those things kill in boxing. I've seen Roy knock a man through the ropes.
If you never seen him when he was in his prime, you really missed something. Roy fought a heavy weight and won, Mayweather won't fight manny Pacquiao. Roy fought way past his prime. Mayweather is a fight dodger.
Of course I've seen Roy Jones Jr., but a lot of what you are talking about is a result of Jones bigger frame and size. It is much easier to knock some one out (or through the ropes) when you have a lot more mass on your frame. Mayweather is a very small man. Even in the Olympics Jones fought and weighed more then Mayweather did last night. Size matters when you are talking about power.
Pac Man is the one dodging the fight not Mayweather. I don't buy for a second this nonsense about Manny not wanting to do a blood test within 24 days of the fight because it will weaken him. Give me a break. Agree to the dang blood test and be done with it.
