Frank Warren: "Roy Jones and Jeff Lacy are Both Shot"

By Mark Vester

There were some who were impressed with the recent performance of Roy Jones Jr. Last weekend, Jones broke down, dominated and stopped former super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy. Some people said Jones appeared to be the same Roy Jones who dominated his opponents. Promoter Frank Warren says the people who think Jones looked like the "old Roy" - are delusional. He says Jones, and Jeff Lacy, are both shot fighters who need to retire.

"A small crowd watched Roy Jones Jnr stop Jeff Lacy at the weekend and some claimed Jones looked like his old self. These people are delusional - both fighters are shot and should pack it in," Warren said.

With the exception of his final fight, Warren was the promoter for Joe Calzaghe. Calzaghe dominated both Lacy and Jones. Warren and Calzaghe parted ways before the Welsh fighter came to New York last November to beat Jones. Calzaghe would retire from boxing a few months later.
