    If Roy Will Not Retire, I Have an Idea For Him

    If there is no way to get Roy to retire, then he needs to use the last of his assests where they will make the biggest difference between him and another opponent. Instead of fighting smaller, faster, guys, he needs to move back up in weight to fight somebody big and slow. The bigger they are the slower they usually are and the faster it will make Jones in comparison. For instance, if he jumped back up to 193 as he was for Ruiz, and fought Steve Cunningham or Guillermo Jones, he could pick up a cruiserweight title to go with the middle, super middle, light heavy, and heavyweight titles he already collected.

    Or if he could somehow manage to pack on weight to get to 201, then he should fight Valuev or possibly Vitali Klitchko, they may be tall, but if Jones could somehow manage to get his stamina up, he could make them both look very slow and awkward. He wouldn't need to do anything fancy, just stick and move and stay off the ropes, and even his pot shots would work.

    He just needs to level the playing field. He won most of his fights on sheer speed, so he needs to find somebody who atleast makes him look fast.

    After Ruiz, perhaps Jones should have dropped to cruiserweight then........it may have prolonged his career. That said, David Haye would have been on the up.

    If Roy doesn't want to retire, cruiserweight may well be an option.

        Yea but higher weight means harder punches. Roy can't evade punches like he used to. He's gonna have to take some on the chin and i don't know how it will hold up. I just don't wanna see him get hurt.

          This is a good idea if you want to see him brain dead.

              Brain damage usually occurs when a fighter takes a prolonged beating. The least dangerous thing to happen in a fight is that the fighter gets knocked out by one hard punch, not an accumulation of punches. He would probably suffer more damage fighting guys like Calzaghe who hit just hard enough to bounce his head around a hundred times in a fight then he would be if he fought somebody like Klitchko who knocked him out with one punch.

                    If he for some ****** ****ing reason went to heavyweight he could beat Toney, Rahman or Valuev.

                    He should retire or just fight a nobody in his hometown.
