Roy Jones Jr. is training for what may be the final fight of his boxing career when he faces Bernard Hopkins on April 3 in Las Vegas. Jones won a decision over Hopkins 17-years ago. Speaking with AOL's FanHouse, Jones said if he knocks Hopkins out, he would likely walk away from the sport. He also says that may not be enough. A part of him might want to avenge knockout defeats to Glen Johnson and Danny Green.
"I could knock out Bernard Hopkins and call it a day. Or I could knock out Hopkins, and, then, knock out Glen Johnson, too, and call it a day. Or I could knock out Hopkins, go knock out Glen Johnson, and go and beat Danny Green, and call it a day," Jones said.
Later Jones would step a few steps away from trying to get rematches with Green and Johnson and says a win over Hopkins may lead him in the path of retirement.
"But, really, after I beat Hopkins, I'll be good, really. But if I want to, there's a couple of things that I could go and do if I wanted to. Because I don't like for a guy to beat me one time, and then, I don't at least go and try it again. They gave Danny Green a victory over me, and Glen Johnson's got a victory over me," Jones said.
"So I would like to go, at least, reach at those to at least one more time before I retire if I still feel good after I get through beating Hopkins. But I could go and beat Hopkins and call it a day, really."
