People are calling for RJJ to retire. Lets see...he has less than five losses. So by that logic...Glen Johnson should have retired well before he was even allowed to challenge for the title he was defending.

True.....But Glenn Johnson is not filthy rich, with options AFTER boxing. He hasn't accomplished what Roy has (though getting ANYWHERE in a sport/business like boxing is an accomplishment).
Though Johnson was beaten pretty badly by Hopkins, he hasn't suffered any concussive KO losses...back to back ones to boot.

It's not the amount of losses it's the way in which he lost his last two fights. He's obviously not taking the punches well.

Roy is definately not taking the punches well, both tarver and johnson landed good shots, but how good do you think roys chin is, he kept it locked away for so long that maybe he has always fought the way he did because he was hiding something, does anyone have any behind the scene sparring info?

I can't really comment on his chin. I'll say this though the only time I really seen someone hit him with a good flush shot outside of Tarver and Johnson was Lou Devalle and he was a little shook from that punch that knocked him down. Not really serious but he was buzzed. He also said he was knocked out in the amateurs before.

His chin is actually not that bad, he is just not a natural light heavyweight. If he doesn't retire he needs to go down in weight which he would never do now. So the only option he has left is to retire.
