''I think it's a beautiful thing for him to try the sweet science. I'd have to see what he's weighing if he wants me to come in there and give him a try at it, but if he want it that bad, I might give it to Kimbo. It's a great opportunity for him. It's a great fight for Florida. Boxing needs all it can get right now, so if the fans get interested in wanting to see that, we can do that.
Kimbo's got a lot of heart, he's got a lot talent, and it took a lot for him to get where he got in MMA. I think his main skill is boxing anyway. I think he'll be fine with it''.
''I don't know, with Kimbo, probably about 3 or 4. Because, you know, he's been in the ring a lot before, so it ain't going to take him as long it would take a normal guy. He has a fighting background, so he's been fighting a long time now, so it won't take him long. He just needs a quick 2 or 3, maybe 4 fights, and we'll be ready to throw.
And I think he's better suited for boxing too. That's why I said it would only take him 3 or 4 fights if he really loved boxing, because I saw from the very beginning that he was better suited for the sport of boxing.
You can't take nothing away from Kimbo... When you first saw Kimbo, he started showing very good boxing promise. He showed a lot of boxing promise when you first saw him on YouTube. You know, you can't really just put it on the heavyweight division. Even if the heavyweight division was good right now, he'd still be the guy, because look at what Mike Tyson did. He's a guy that's capable of doing that. I mean, Mike Tyson was a powerful puncher, just like Kimbo is''.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Jones might actually get stopped all limbo has is power. Sort of like Green.
you've turned into such a dopey cunt...
P.S a better comparison would be kimbo to lacy
Green didn't have only power, he had special wraps + power....Also he had a ref allowing him to hit to the neck. Don't forget Jones also got back up and blocked 90% of the incoming punches...
Wasn't that stuff all cleared up? Green said that the wraps were checked and cleared by the commisoner
I'm not a bandwagon fan like 3/4ths of you fake ass fans.
Love em when their on top.. forget about em and crack em when their down.
You people make me sick.
I'm a real mother****er... I support the people I support through thick and thin.. when their on top and when their at the bottom of the barrel.
SMH @ Lame ass comments directed towards an ATG who happens to be pushing 42 years old.
Go jump on the next bandwagon cult, fake ass mother****ers.
Dude's a grown ass man who's accomplished more than ANYONE on this entire website, and will always be talked about... if he chooses to fight, it's his own god damn decision, and one he's earned after a 20+ year career.
BRAVO, while I really dont like roy, the man had skills and everyone gets OLD AS YOU STATED. I like the buffalo bills and people ask me why? (I LIVE IN LOUISIANA)
I tell em as a kid I liked them when they didnt win a superbowl (4 tries), and I still do. Its the way it should be. I hate bandwagoneers.
Like the fact roy jones is embarrasing boxing right now.
I dnt give a fuk how gd he was he shud know when to hang them up.
Hes doing nothing for boxing by lookin like a old fool but guess he wont learn even after losing to hopkins.
Move on to your new bandwagon fighter
So conceivably Roy could fight forever, getting knocked out by people like Green or spend whole fights just feignting and throwing 10 punches a fight, like he did against BHop?
I understand the notion of a former great trying to reclaim the glory, trying to somehow summon one last great fight within himself. It saddens me but I understand it, it's something we've seen many times as boxing fans.
But the BHop fight was the last straw for me. That's the fight you call it a day on. He couldn't even let his hands go ahead a 45 year old Hopkins, FFS. And it was a PPV event too.
Right now, I'm not even interested in a last fight in Pensacola, he already had that chance to end it on that note.
Seeing Roy for the fighter he is now doesn't make me any less of a fan. I'll cherish all that Roy did for the sport, But this gun-shy, shot version who fights with no confidence is not something that Roy needs to sell anymore. He knows better than anyone that he has nothing left.
Time to call it a day. Simple as that.
Thats all that matters... if you feeel that way... then thats great and I let you ride out on whatever opinion you have from here on out.
Extremely amused by some of the comments here. Old as hell shot ass Roy Jones would embarrass a 35yr old man who has never had a boxing match. Danny Green KOs Kimbo one handed.

Sorry man, boxing is ****ty already. Bunch of cowards and overrated bums are ruling it right now. Plus, the word "embarrasing" and "roy jones" can not be in the same sentence. Show some respect for an ATG.
You're right... I am salty, and normally I'm not.
Certain things pull my trigger..

Here's the problem with Kimbo.
After 2 rounds, he's sucking serious wind, and has the defense of a wall.
True but Jones seems like he is in defense all the time now. He has great offensive skills when he chooses to use them but he is always shelling up. Jones wouldn't let his hands go....really what it is to me is the idea that Jones would lose to Kimbo. I just don't want it to get to that level....not considering what Jones once was.
Kimbo slice KO5 if Roy fights like man.
If Roy is running and feinting the whole fight Kimbo will KO him in the 10th round
:boxing:
Your prediction is kind of stupid. Kimbo dosen't have stamina to fight five rounds and Roy hasen't had the footwork to "run" since like 2003...
YES!! This is a great fight for Roy Jones.
This will be boxings revenge for James Toney losing to Couture. lmao!
James Toney status as a boxer > Kimbos status in MMA
