    Do you think he would even have a chance against Glen?
    if u put it in hindsite... he was fighting one of the best fighters in the world... dropped him in the 1st round, and although he lost most of the rounds, they werent blow outs.. he did stay competitive and would land some clean shots... it was just too many punches for him to keep up with at his age... but when the pace slowed down a little... roy did better.. when he had a little time to set and fire... against someone else i think he could still do a lot better... it was just joes style and roys age... which is exactly what roy said before the fight

    well u lose confidence on pulling the trigger with age..

      I agree with you. In retrospect, Joe was a bad style match up for Roy at this stage. I just don't know man, I wish he'd just retire, he can't get any better. And hes already accomplished everything and made his money. I think its time Roy focuses on Roy III and his 4 other children.

      I'll support RJJ when he fights again, as always.. Honestly, if he fights someone with a more methodical style, he probably would do alot better.

        Roy's reflexes aren't what they once were. Shots will have a much easier chance of getting in on him than they would have when he fought Ruiz. And the risk of that is hardly worth the potential reward.

          i know he would do better... he still has speed and power... and decent stamina.. hes still smart... it was just at this stage... joes style was over whelming... in roys prime... he would of saw every single punch coming in and would of countered every 6 seconds...

            I want him to retire now. This notion that Roy needs a farewell fight is flawed IMO. It's the fans(including me) not wanting him to retire and don't want to see him leave the sport because of what he has given to us over the last decade or so.

            I didn't want Roy to call it a day after a loss, but that fight with Calzaghe was enough for me to say ''Roy, you were damn good and i'll miss ya, but it's time to hang em up!''

              I agree. Well like I said, hes going to fight again. Whether any of us like it or not. It will be interesting to see who it is against...

              so you like the idea of him fighting Taylor?

                  He could beat Taylor if Taylor fights a slow paced match. If Roy gets respect from Taylor, he could win. But I think Taylor will look at what Glen Johnson and Calzaghe did. Plus Taylor is 10 years younger...I don't know....

                    Jones needs to RETIRE. he is washed up and doesn't have the killer instinct he use to have. I dont even really care for him anyways. He ducked a lot of fighter and he hand picked his fights. He only fought people that would stand in one spot, which made him look good, because he is very fast. But other then that, look at him when he fought Tarver, and Glen Johnson. He got KO'd. And he got embarrassed by Calzaghe, and i hate Calzaghe. I wanted Jones to win, but he just is all talk, like he has always been. And everybody says he beat Hopkins, yes he did, but he did it when hopkins wasn't hopkins. Hopkins would destroy him from the years 1995- on up. And Jones knows that, thats why he never wanted a rematch, BECAUSE HE IS SCARED. He gave Tarver a rematch but not hopkins? He's a F@ckin F@ggot. HURRY up and Retire JOnes.
