Roy Jones Jr and Floyd Mayweather have been embroiled in a bitter feud in recent days.
The two boxing legends have each taken shots at the other, seemingly beginning when Jones gave his opinion on how Mayweather may have fared against iconic fighters from the past.
Mayweather didn’t appear to take too kindly to what his countryman suggested, as he took to social media to share a video of him watching Jones suffer a knockout defeat late in his career.
Jones has now been speaking about the the feud with Seconds Out, and initially needed just three words when asked if Mayweather’s claim about being ‘The Best Ever’ is accurate.
“At making money.”
Jones – who has criticised Mayweather in the past for claiming he is better than Muhammad Ali – then went in-depth on this new-found rivalry with Mayweather, challenging his rival to do something about it if he has a problem.
“If you want to fight, come on. You don’t have to troll me, come see me. That’s who I am. I don’t do talk well. I ain’t heard nothing yet but they know where I’m at and they know where to find me. It ain’t going to be no exhibition, I want it real. What we going to play for? We ain’t playing. I ain’t anyway. I can have my own opinion, if you got a problem with my opinion I’ll be willing to fight about it. If you want to do something about it, come on. Inside the ring, outside the ring, we can do it however you want to do it.”
It’s likely that Mayweather will soon respond to the latest challenge by Jones, with their feud showing no signs of slowing down. A meeting in the ring, however, is unlikely.
