Roy Jones Jr Tribute/Retirement thread

[Truth]

it hard to believe he lost that fight after watchin' that round again.......Roy has a certain affect on my generation of boxing fans.......we love the man simple and plain.....as he walked to ring last night and recieved that great ovation from his hometown crowd.......it gave me the chills........for a second or two I was caught in the moment and I to felt like Roy's biggest fans.......I'm not a big Roy fan but thats the affect I was sayin' that Roy has on my generation........I still believe he has to retire sooner than later but its hard not to wanna see Roy ever fight again!

Its because Roy has a swagger about himself, when he walks to the ring....its I'm the king of boxing walk. Even though hes not the king anymore, its still Roy Jones Jr. There definitley is a Roy Jones mystique because of how great he once was. And he still has some flash in the ring and alot of charisma.

Yes i watch that round and can't believe that he loses this fight, and what's more unbelievable is the way he fought after this round. It's like Roy jones jr was always better than everyone and that's where his mentality was at. But once a fighter showed he can hurt him or was giving him a good fight, it's like his mentality changed. He was more cautious and fought in a scared way. The way i seen him stumbling across the ring and almost falling out of the ring in that fight made me believe that it was time to hang them up.

This should have happened a long time ago. Roy should have quit the first time he got layed out

definitely not the first time, the second time maybe, but he should have fought a fight like last nights after the johnson lost and went out on top then!

he could've beaten johnson and tarver in their third encounter
Jones looked lazy as **** against them, esspecialy johnson, **** was frustrating to watch

[MoneyMayFan]

Jones couldnt have beaten tarver. He lost the first fight IMO but his name got him that fight

hell no did jones lose that fight!! Jones beat tarver!!! all tarver did was swing wildly at roy while he was on the ropes, that **** don't cut it. Roy won that fight and i don't think it was that close.

he lost the first fight but his name got him that fight? wtf are you on about?.. anway
first fight was weight drained jones, but still jones with confidence who would throw
second time lucky punch jones, cuz fi tarver had'nt landed that he woulda lost that fight
third time no confidence jones = no punches thrown
