Roy Jones Jr, for years he was considered the best fighter in the game, thought of as unbeatable. Jones was so good that even though he was a middleweight fighting as a blown up light heavyweight, fans were demanding that he take on some of the biggest names in the heavyweight division like Mike Tyson, Vitali Klitschko and Lennox Lewis. Today he is thought of as a fighter who is shot, old and very beatable. The image of Roy Jones took two missiles which have put permanent cracks on his legacy.

Jones suffered two back to back "one punch" knock out losses. The first knock out loss shocked the Boxing world, Jones was knocked out by Antonio Tarver in only two rounds of action. The next knock out loss was vicious and against an opponent that was not picked by anyone to win. Glen Johnson was known as a blown up middleweight possessing mediocre power, slow, old and an ex KO victim of Bernard Hopkins. Regardless of the label which was bestowed upon Johnson, he came into the fight hungry like a young fighter getting his first shot at glory.

Even after two huge losses and an outcry from fans and media to retire, Jones does not rule out a return to the sport.

"The loss was hard to deal with (to Glen Johnson). It's hard not being on top. Right now I'm going to take a break, concentrate on promoting some of the younger guys and help them come up. My head hasnt been in to these last few fights. I cant get up for these fights anymore. The hunger just isnt there right now. The last fight that I got hungry for was when I won the heavyweight title. Sooner or later you lose that hunger. If I get that feeling in me to fight and my heart is into it, I'll be back." said Jones to BoxingScene

Jones said that being at the bottom after being on top in his career for so long is hard hard for him to take.

"It's hard being up there for so long and then your down and looking back up. Nobody can be on top forever, nobody, but I know in my heart that I can still be there."

The odds are heavily against Jones at this point. Only time will tell if Jones can get back to the top or decide to call it a career.
