If there is no way to get Roy to retire, then he needs to use the last of his assests where they will make the biggest difference between him and another opponent. Instead of fighting smaller, faster, guys, he needs to move back up in weight to fight somebody big and slow. The bigger they are the slower they usually are and the faster it will make Jones in comparison. For instance, if he jumped back up to 193 as he was for Ruiz, and fought Steve Cunningham or Guillermo Jones, he could pick up a cruiserweight title to go with the middle, super middle, light heavy, and heavyweight titles he already collected.
Or if he could somehow manage to pack on weight to get to 201, then he should fight Valuev or possibly Vitali Klitchko, they may be tall, but if Jones could somehow manage to get his stamina up, he could make them both look very slow and awkward. He wouldn't need to do anything fancy, just stick and move and stay off the ropes, and even his pot shots would work.
He just needs to level the playing field. He won most of his fights on sheer speed, so he needs to find somebody who atleast makes him look fast.:boxing:
i'm A Roy Jones Jr. Fan But He Sold Me, His Fans, And The Fight As If He Was Back To His Old Self. He Promoted A Music Video Did 24/7 On Hbo That Showed Him Preparing With All His Supporters. Roy Jones Is A Shot Fighter That Was Shot By Tarver And Damaged By Glen Johnson. His Weight Loss From Heavyweight To Light-heavyweight Was Done Foolishly By Starving Himself Instead Of Working It Off In The Ring. He Has Paid A Price That Has Killed His Confidence Which In Turn Has Created A Self Doubt Within Himself. Roy Knows That He Is Damage Goods As A Fighter, But Has Used His Name To Keep Himself Afloat The Boxing Scene With Hopes Of Getting Everyone To Believe That He Is The Roy Jones Of Old. Roy Jones Supporters That Are Close To Him (coach Merk, Family, Friends, And Overall Big Roy) Need To Tell Him That He Is Not The Same Fighter And Is Embarassing Himself And The Sport At This Stage Of His Career Despite The Strain That Could Come To Their Personal Relationships. I Know I Will Get Feedback On This, But True Roy Jones Fans Are Thinking What I'm Saying. Much Respect Due !!!!!
Stop Pasting This God Damn Post In Every Single Thread On The Fourm U Idiot
Roy Jones Needs To Retire
I'm a Roy Jones Jr. fan but he sold me, his fans, and the fight as if he was back to his old self. He promoted a music video did 24/7 on HBO that showed him preparing with all his supporters. Roy Jones is a shot fighter that was shot by Tarver and damaged by Glen Johnson. His weight loss from Heavyweight to Light-Heavyweight was done foolishly by starving himself instead of working it off in the ring. He has paid a price that has killed his CONFIDENCE which in turn has created a SELF DOUBT within himself. Roy knows that he is DAMAGE GOODS as a fighter, but has used his name to keep himself afloat the boxing scene with hopes of getting everyone to believe that he is the Roy Jones of old. Roy Jones supporters that are close to him (Coach Merk, Family, Friends, and Overall Big Roy) need to tell him that he is not the SAME FIGHTER AND IS EMBARASSING HIMSELF AND THE SPORT at this stage of his career despite the strain that could come to their personal relationships. I know I will get feedback on this, but true Roy Jones fans are thinking what I'm saying. Much Respect due !!!!!
If he for some stupid ****ing reason went to heavyweight he could beat Toney, Rahman or Valuev.
He should retire or just fight a nobody in his hometown.
This is a good idea if you want to see him brain dead.
Brain damage usually occurs when a fighter takes a prolonged beating. The least dangerous thing to happen in a fight is that the fighter gets knocked out by one hard punch, not an accumulation of punches. He would probably suffer more damage fighting guys like Calzaghe who hit just hard enough to bounce his head around a hundred times in a fight then he would be if he fought somebody like Klitchko who knocked him out with one punch.

do you watch boxing?
After Ruiz, perhaps Jones should have dropped to cruiserweight then........it may have prolonged his career. That said, David Haye would have been on the up.
If Roy doesn't want to retire, cruiserweight may well be an option.
