Roy Jones Jr is getting pretty old. Right now he is 47-years-old and he's turning 47 in January. Do you guys think he should retire? I sure do. I think he should go for the biggest fight he can get and go out in style. But the last thing I would want to see is for him to gets seriously hurt because he did not know when to call it quits. No doubt he is a living legend. What do you guys think?
IIRC he tore his biceps in his last fight and is all but retired because of it.
from what i've heard jones does not need money. he made a lot of it when he was boxing. HBO likes him and wants to keep him around. i think he's good in the broadcast booth. that's a six figure gig, and if roy's faculties remain intact he can do that for many years to come.
just think about how much better he is than foreman and lewis. lewis was a nice guy, but he could hardly speak coherently. and fforeman was an ******* and larry and jim couldn't stand him. i liked jones more than ward, too. ward was very articulate, but he was a bit too bland and cold for an expert commentator.

I think he should continue to fight, his brian is already http://www4.theoakkroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/fried-chicken.jpg.
He should have retired when he fought Omar Sheika and even before that when he fought Ruiz and made history at the time. after those fights he hurt his legacy big time. Don't think it's a money related issue because he also comments various big fights and I think he gets paid good money for those fights.
Nah. Roy is just barely out of his prime. I still think he's got enough to squeeze out 36, maybe 37 fights before it's time to cash out.
Thats of course if he wants to retire and not let the sport retire him.

Yes he should. The really sad part is if you asked this same question 10 years ago, my answer would still have been the same.
No way...
I think he is the logical opponent for the Ward/kovolev winner, don't you agree?
Captain obvious here^^^^
They are only fighting for a shot at the great Roy Jones anyway, otherwise there would be no point

Im 47, Roy's age, and have been watching boxing since I was 13, consistently....I don't think I have ever seen a fighter tarnish his legacy the way Roy has....Who knows how he'd be thought of if he'd quit after Ruiz...he is pretty much the only GOAT level fighter who I worry might actually die in there...Just to those who think Im criticizing Roy unfairly, I think Roy would have beaten pretty much everyone in history from 160 to 175
1-A new poster does not just jump out making threads.
2-Roy has a huge thread talking about GGG so he is a target
3-Read what he wrote."i dont want to see roy hurt" the man has been ko'd several times,
