Roy Jones September return vs woods

[jovanchan]

He is one of the greatest fighters in my mind. I hope he is able to retire with a title belt.

No way in hell this fight happens, its a waste of time speculating on it.

Roy's losses do not affect his legacy whatsoever, even according to Bert SUgar who is the most respected and oldest boxing historians on the planet. Intelligent boxing fans know Roy would have wiped Tarver and Johnson 3-4 years ago.

I shouldn't have to repeat myself though. Not once has Roy said he is coming back vs anyone and the only one who speaks for Roy, is Roy. Brad Jacobs admits himself in the article that Roy has not told him he wants to come back, and given the amout of times Jacobs has been wrong when delivering Roy's supposed intentions, there is absolutely NO credibilty in what he says.

It seems everyone has ignored your post.

Anyhow, I agree. I don't think his losses hurt him at all. If you watch his fights when he was young, there is no question that he's one of the best to ever step in the ring. Probably not THE best, though.

Even though we tend to disagree about most things, I couldn't agree more with this post.

Nah Jones can still beat everyone at light heavyweight if he trains hard and makes sure to press the action rather than letting the opponents come out and dictate the pace. That's where he ****ed up with both Tarver and Johnson.

And that's where Tarver ****ed up with Johnson. Johnson is a wild brawling ass idiot. Only reason he has wins against anybody decent is because they allow him to control the pace, even though they're better.

it would be good for him to retire with a belt, but if he's as bad as he was in his last two fights, he will be knocked out again

Jones should retire. There is nothing to prove in fighting Woods again cos he has already defeated him. The only way Jones can win a fight is at heavyweight because he wouldn`t be weight drained...

I don't know if it's the ONLY way he can win a fight, but I sure as hell wish he'd stayed at heavyweight, it would have made things much more interesting all the way around.

I agree, a death in the ring would be interesting.

[MlLkMan]

I wannna see him get ko'ed once more.

That's not where I was going. Since this is all speculation, my thought was that his speed would have been greater than all of the heavyweights currently fighting, and his body, and his confidence would not have undergone the stress of dropping the muscle weight required to come down to lt heavy. And since attitude and confidence do have an effect on reality, I think we'ed be having a very different conversation now. But then again, if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their ass so much.
