So how much legacy does Roy Jones get back if he wins???

[j.one]

Everyone agrees he's shot and seemingly has no chance whatsoever in this fight. That being said and pretty much agreed to for the most part, what does a win for Jones mean for his legacy?

[Heeb]

It may look bad for his legacy because if he looks good tonight, a lot of people will look at his recent losses as legitimate fights, not end-of-career-throwaway fights.

If he looks good tomorrow, then he looked good against a 45 year old boxer.

Bernard can fall off at anytime himself...

Best case scenario: Jones wins tomorrow night in dominating fashion then avenges his loss against Green, then retires with his legacy intact..

Nobody can erase what has already been achieved.

Jones has already cemented his legacy as the most dominating pound for pound fighter ever. The only man in 100 years to go from middle and win a heavyweight title. (In dominating fashion I might add) No other heavy accept for Tua has dominated Ruiz the way Jones did so to me Jones is the best fighter ruiz ever fought being that he outwayed him by 40 pounds and got owned. Everyone who fought Prime Jones got beat badley. Fighters that gave Bernard, and James Toney 12 round hard fights got KOd by Jones. Montell beat Toney twice. Jones 1 round KO of Montell told of his absolute dominance. Roy made every fighter, Bernard, Virgil Hill, John Ruiz and James included look like bums. And two of those guys are Hall of fame fighters. So of course if you werent hall of fame you were going to look like a straight bum.

He can't turn back the time but what he can do is 2 win tomorrow night.

[AC-Voltage]

I hope he wins, then rematches green, and takes him to school.

uh, yeah I wasn't aware that his legacy was tarnished.

i say it would do very little. The only good thing i see out of it if he wins is that even though had a few setbacks and is not the same fighter he still can beat bernard hopkins. but how far will that go? not very. okay he beat a 45 year old hopkins. given that hopkins is still a good competitor at that age he's still the same either. i say hopkins has more to lose. he's in a lose lose situation. if he wins people say you fought a much older roy jones who is nothing like fighter that beat you 17 years earlier. if he loses they'll say he couldn't beat a roy jones that judging from his past performances is shot with his best years behind him. so this is a fight bernard hopkins has to win, not roy jones in my opinion. i hope roy wins because if he loses they might try to make it a trilogy. i don't think many fans would want to see that. it depends on how the rematch goes
