Oscar or Roy: Which one needs to retire badly?

[queenleia]

That makes a lotta sense.

[grayfist]

Roy should. I don't remember Oscar having been laid out in consecutive matches by someone in his natural weight category.

Palma, there is something indisutable in boxing.

When a fighter has a combination of skills and power, his career will fade slowly.
When a fighter relies solely on power, he will continue to have a puncher's chance.
When a fighter wins solely on handspeed and movement, he will get old overnight.

Jones was in the 3rd category for his entire career.

Age, death and taxes! 3 certain things in life

Poor Roy never saw "age" coming.

Poor Roy never saw "age" coming.

Neither did the great Joe Louis; but then, Joe didn't see the taxman coming either!

i don't think either of them should retire. i enjoy a good knockout. seriously though, roy should seriously consider retirement. or learn how to box. i have been waiting for someone to actually get in there and smother him. jones couoldn't move to the side with johnson because for one he was against the ropes and when he tried he met a glove. he had nowhere to go. when jones did throw i thought he still had his speed. but johnson never let him get set up and kept pressuring him. thats why we never really saw the speed that everyone says was lost due to age. 35 is not old for boxing. 40 is. i don't even like b-hop but i tell ya for a man about to be 40 he sure does still look good in the ring. i know some people lose it and get old faster. right. whatever.

Out of the two, Jones more than DLH. He just looks unmotivated. He's just ganna get hurt. DLH is slowly fading and well past his prime. I still would like to see him go down in weight and see if he can still reign supreme.

both fighters should retire. almost everybody thought roy had a bad day with tarver. so a 2nd ko is seen as the end. well, i think there's no need to see oscar get his 2nd ko before saying its the end for him.

roy & oscar just don't have it anymore. its just a well hyped campaign from those who like to earn from their fights that we still see both. let's give the real fighters a break. no more lousy fights!!!!!!!!!!!

[queenleia]

"its just a well hyped campaign"

LOL!!!!

This is so ******. This would like if RJJ wasn't a phoney and he fought Wlad or Lewis and they KO'd him. Why should he have retired then. He would just have gone back down in weight where he belonged. Jones didn't go down far enough though after Ruiz he belongs at super middleweight or middleweight. DLH should just go back down in weight where he belongs and see how does there before he even thinks about retiring.

I like Oscar De La Hoya, because he is a very good fighter. I don't want him to retire. I hope to see him box again.
