        Ruiz is also a horrible boxer, and for some reason he decided to box RJJ.

          lol I didn't know that.
          I never saw that match.
          I tend to avoid anything with RJJ and Ruiz.
          So that was just double trouble.

              Roy should have never came back down from heavyweight. He shouldve stayed and retired after a couple more title defences.

              The only way I would tell Roy to fight a few more is if he goes heavyweight.
              hell no tarver wouldnt win a round against roy in his prime and no he shouldnt go to heavyweight cuz he doesnt got tha motivation
              roy jones could've fought better last nite
              he always went straight to tha raps and leaned back when he could've moved off of them
              he just dont got tha motivation to fight ne more
              his careers OVER!

                    I don't recall anyone getting angry at a prime RJJ for ducking Johnson or Tarver.

                      johnson did get stopped by a prime roy jones jr. and tarver missed his chance when he got beat by harding. but none the less, roy signed the contracts to fight these guys, thinking he still had what it takes, and loss, in very bad fashion. doesn't matter prime or past his prime, he still got in the ring with them expecting to win, and didn't. it's obvious that roy is one of the best to ever step foot in the ring. it just hurts me to see him go out like this. i really feel bad for him personally, it's got to be tearing him up inside, to go from one of the best ever, to being a glass joe ( damn near overnight ). you can talk about someones prime and what could have happend, but boxing is a NOW sport, if you got it NOW your good, if not, then it's not good.....i would like roy to get another win before he goes out but looking at the way he fought and got ko'd, i'm surprised he made it out of sparring....
