For watever reason, he CANT do wat he could before.

wel, in jones's case i think its that, and the whole heavywiet fight he had. Im not tryin to make excuses for him, but anyone that saw the johnson fight saw a guy who looked like jones.

Ive said it a million times, but I think the weight loss was the biggest factor. Jones just doesn't have the energy in the ring like he use to.Comment

I would like him to beat some half assed bum, just so he could get his 50 wins in. Then retire. It would be a shame if he got seriously hurt though.Comment

i dont think its worth the risk , he looked really hurt in that last fight. A fight he was expected to win easily.Originally posted by shawnyComment

Jones was great. Shawny may have a point about all the weight gain and loss having an effect. Jones will always be one of my alltime favs.Comment

i don't think he'll return, Roy Jones is not a humble man, he had to say it like there's a chance he'll come back because he's not Ok with himself about going out of boxing because he has to and not because he'd done everything he wanted. He won't return, at least i hope not,
he was something really special - he's already in the boxing hall of fame, most guys have to retire first before they're in, and doesn't need to take any more punishment.Comment

watching his early fights, hes incredible. I saw him fight a british guy last year i think, and jones at one point did an impression of a chicken! Wel, i guess it was a rooster.
Alot of people here dont like him because of wat he says, i dont get to see all that, only his fights.Last edited by Bubba Chunday; 10-15-2004, 10:11 PM.Comment

I remeber a fight he had. He had played in a semi pro basketball game a little earlier that day and flew to the arena where the fight took place. eveybody was saying stuff like "This could be very bad for Jones, hes got to be tired from the basketball game, etc etc." Jones was beating this guy like a drum the whole fight. About 2/3rds the way through the fight Jones would hurt his guy in about every round but the ****er would not go down.( I think Roy broke the guys eardrum twoards the end of the fight) Roy kept looking at the ref shrugging his shoulders gestering "are you going to stop it?" The ref didnt stop the fight and Roy was just punishing this guy. Roy realized that the ref wasn't going to stop the fight so roy just pitt patted for the remaining rounds so he didn't seriously hurt his opponent. To me that showed some class. I also think It showed that The real Roy has a heart of gold.Comment
