    I agree Reed.

    I'm not even a huge Roy Jones fan, but I always had respect for him, and admired his style and charisma.

    It broke my heart to see such a great fighter get beaten by a guy who wouldn't have been fit to clean a prime Jones's trunks.

    A sad day. I just hope Roy bows out of the game and lives a great and happy life.

      I like rjj, but I can't respect him going out like this.

      he should've retired after getting KOed the 2nd time.

          All praise due...

          Roy will go down as one of the greats no doubt. Nothing to be ashamed about.

            A true great and the most talented fighter of my lifetime. No one could touch Roy in his prime, and if you did you just made him mad.

            Here's to a great fighter.

                I just watched it. So dissapointed. When I saw the file was 3mins long by mistake I knew then Green must have got it.

                Feel like a right idiot for underestimating Green too.

                    Respect to Roy. One of the greatest fighters to ever lace them up.

                      41 years old in a young mans game, the end was inevitable, and this is usually how it happens. Retirement or one final fight in Pensacola in the spring will mark the career end of Roy Jones Jr.

                      I am thankful I went to the Lacy fight and saw his last great performance live!!!! He put on a show for his fans and I'll never forget it.

                      20 years in the game, middleweight to heavyweight, and a human highlight reel...


                      What more can I say... forever a fan.


                      Yeah, much respect to him... its horrible to see that happen to him. I mean much respect to Green he just won a fight against a big name... but it still aint nice to see something like that happen to a ring legend.
