    I truly believe RJJ is in danger of tainting his legacy by fighting on.
    in danger? he shouldve neever came back down to 175, its drained him and he never recovered. i know he cant see into the future, but after the 2nd tarver fight he shouldve retired, certainly after the johnson fight.

    i dont think ppl should give him too much heat though, cuz its his legacy and his health. if he wants to risk it just cuz he enjoys still fighting hes a grown ass man and ppl should respect his decision.

    a prime joe c gets dominated and humiliated by a prime jones. hes so ****ing sloppy, if roy still had his reflexes and was still sharp and not gun shy he would put joe to sleep without any difficulties whatsoever. roy could KO him like griffin II if he wanted to, or play with him like glen kelly or richard hall. joe c at his very best still isnt on a prime RJs level.

      That fight was just embarassing to watch. I mean Jones has lost worse to worse competition(tarver2/Johnson) this was just so embarassing how old he has gotten.

        Ha. Give Roy his blazing speed and confidence back and that fight ends in the 1st. He had neither against Joe and still has a 1st round KD to his credit.

          roy jones 10 years ago would have put calzaghe in a box and shipped him back home through UPS...we saw that in the first round of that fight...but after that...roy put his hands to his sides and walked into a meat grinder...

            ^ Roy was just scared to death, he had the nerve to say Cal was hitting him hard. He said that. Dude's chin has him scared of his own shadow now.

              Style makes fight and joe C has a difficult style for RJJ to deal with, If both of them fought each other in their prime it would be a difficult fight for RJJ, Jones alway have problems with Southpaw and Joe c is one of the best southpaws around..

                  Sorry but prime Joe Vs prime Roy would not be a walk in the park for Roy like some people are saying.

                    LOL, Thats what i dont get with some people they seem to think a prime RJJ beats everyone, RJJ is people study him properly in his prime alway had problems with boxer with a Southpaw/awkward stance....Even from his amateur days.
