MANILA, Philippines – Former heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr. is ready to offer his words of wisdom to pound-for-pound king Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, should the Filipino champion ever need it.
In an interview with 8countnews.com, Jones said that he is willing to give advice to Pacquiao.
"In the future, if Manny does have issues, or needs somebody to talk to, then he can call me," Jones said.
Jones likened himself to Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson, while Pacquiao can be considered as LeBron James.
"If people like LeBron James called and questioned and had an interaction with Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson before he made the decision he made, they would have better guided him in making future decisions," Jones said.
Jones may be referring to James' decision to take his talents to the Miami Heat and leave the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"For Manny, if he ever wants to talk to me, and ask me what direction he should go to, I would gladly tell him," Jones said.
Jones, who has won titles in the middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, is already offering Pacquiao some advice regarding a possible superfight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"I know Manny pretty well, and I know Floyd pretty well, and there are ways and things he can do to change the outcome of things," Jones said.
"He (Pacquiao) definitely has to change the way he is fighting right now because Floyd is used to that," Jones added. "As a matter of fact, (Juan Manuel) Marquez is used to that."
Jones said that the Filipino boxing icon will have to change some of his style, as other boxers may have learned to counter his moves inside the ring.
