he perhaps could have.

he also could have taken more chances and then got stretched by a left hand or a right hook.

No way. RJ just showed up to not get KOd kind of reminds me of wha barrera did in the last Pacman/Barrera fight. I think he was just trying to prove something to himself mentally.

uh....YES....did u watch round #5, when the old roy jones decided to show up? or in the 11th when tarver missed a punch, and from sheer exhaustion almost fell over the top rope. Jones missed a big opportunity, and didn't pull the trigger..why? I've been wanting to know my damn self. Maybe he was scared.

If he took any more chances he would have been carried out of the ring.

Maybe he was just too old. Roy hasn't finished off an opponent since 2002.
