    Roy Jones Jr is still a lot faster than most heavyweights but with that chin of his I wouldn't risk anything

      Going back to the Heavyweight division is suicide action for Roy. He's not the Roy Jones JR he used to be, slow speed and a very vulnerable chin. That he beat John Ruiz doesn't say anything, let him face Vitali Klitschko or Mike Tyson and it's all lights out for Roy. So, let him stay at the Light Heavyweight division where he personnaly can revenge for his last two losses.

        the point is Roy Jones may have lost some speed...but when he moves up to Heavyweight he still is a lot quicker then those slow big clumsy Heavyweights whose punches you can see coming a mile away.

          Roy coming back to the heavyweight division can be exciting...he brings alot to the table in terms of excitement...Maybe he can get his act together and take the game more seriously since some of his natural gifts are fading away..

            Exciting? Well I guess watching someone die in the ring would be exciting, but come on man.

                  Please explain, because it seems to me that you have NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

                  I'm serious, explain how you came to this conclusion.

                    Its a shame, but its over for roy in reality. Heavies have far too much power for him and his chin, any of the top 5 heavies would k.o him in a few rounds, even with the division as crappy as it is at the moment. LMAO at the person whio said he'd beat vitali

                      Return as HW and face the likes of Vitaly or Toney? He'll get massacred! And if he selects his opponents, nobody will be watching! I think he's better off sticking to his commentator job.
