[SOPH~ REP.]

Has the great Roy Jones Jr. ruined his legacy by fighting on, attemting to recreate the good old days when he was superman or will the boxing world remember him for what he did over a 15 year period? (89-04)

Be honest and discuss if needed.

Thanks.

Imma Fan of Jones Jr. but ,I think he is tearing down his legacy with his recent losses to sub par opposition .Its makes you think during his rein who was he really fighting,I know old age plays a role physically but he still has good speed ,but not wiser .He should know that he has a weak chin and defense .He was more of an entertainer than boxer.I think he could box till he's 50 yrs old ,but has to be more defensive .

True boxing fans will remember his invincible years and that's all that matters...

Casual fans don't follow Roy like that anymore IMO...

you'll remember his invincible years, but you'll remember his KO years also. nobody's gonna forget jones-calzaghe.

if roy cared about his legacy, and still wanted to fight, he'd fight the guys that ruined his legacy, and the guys he actually has a chance to beat - tarver and johnson. he's fighting hopkins, even tho he won't win, but he wants the payday. and that's the problem.

Your legacy is how you are remembered by fans.

I loved watching Roy as a teen and will never forget how great he was but I will also never forget the bad ko losses too.

His legacy would have been greater if he retired after Tarver 1, so I have to say yes he is hurting his legacy by fighting way past his best.

First healthy prime fighter worth a damn Roy fought he sc****d a decision against and then got put to sleep in the rematch

James Toney................you fail. Now shut the f up.

somewhat yes.. but after he retires and a few more years, people will realize how good he was and the losses in the later part of his career are not highly significant since most of them came after his prime..
