Should Roy Jones be saved from himself?

No. i think jones has earned the right to make the call himself. if evander holyfield, george foreman, julio cesar chavez, & meldrick taylor could fight as long as they did, i think roy should be also afforded the chance to as well. Meldrick Taylor, says it all.

I was watching the "Facing Ali" film and I dunno, so many of his former opponents sound terrible, not even mentioning Ali himself. I just don't wanna see in 10 years Roy Jones being unable to talk. He is clearly totally passed it, even if his hands are still quick, I feel Hopkins will ko him. Should he be denied a licence to fight? Absolutely!!!! But, rarely do the boxing commission do the right thing - especially when dollars is in the equation.

Roy is a man. A man can make his own decisions. He dosen't need extra mothers telling him whats good or not for him. The man has through his own hard work made himself fighter of the decade and will be remebered when we are all dead. He can decide for himself if what he is doing is worth the risk. He will be the one living with the consequences.

How long have you been a fan of boxing!!! Roy is not shot ? IN this day and time there or no name fighter ALL over !! ROY has money and the respect!! Some true fans no what I'm talking about!!! At the end of the day Roy BEAT B-HOP !!! This fight will close the book on that era!!

Why? because hes a big star? Is his life and health more important than other boxers? You have tons and tons of journeymen out there getting KO'd and taking a huge amount of punishment everytime they step into the ring. Those journeymen take more punishment in less than a year than Roy has been taking in his whole career and they can also fight 10-15 fights every year. I never heard anyone being worried and saying they shouldnt be allowed to fight, because at the end of the day nobody gives a damn about them. If RJJ should be denied a licence to fight then so should most of the journeymen. I agree with you man. I should have added that to my message. Lots of boxers should be denied licences. There was a guy fighting the other night on the Wembley show here in London and he's lost like 70 fights.

but no they shouldn't deny his license, I mean I saw Saoul Mamby fight live in the Cayman Islands... he was 60

if he continues he will end up bad, look at this interview now compared to a few years back, the dude is making less and less sense by the hour.

I agree. I'd still like to see Jones retire, though. Yeah, he should have been retired for a while but when you are getting KO'd in 2 minutes by career journeyman the writing is definately on the wall. Unfortunately for his fans Roy can't or doesn't want to see that. Hopefully he can put in one last respectable performance against Hopkins before walking off into the sunset to enjoy his retirement.

No. It would be incredibly hypocritical if they denied Jones a license while other guys who get knocked out on a very regular basis are allowed to fight. One rule for all. You can't just ban Jones on the basis that he used to be great. I agree. I'd still like to see Jones retire, though.

He knows the risks, if he were in a bad shape he would stop. I don't like the idea of old guys still fighting (Holyfield, Jones ect) but it's up to them.. I will always support Rjjr.

He should be denied a licence. I don't know why Hopkins took this fight and why any commision would sanction it.
