I think Roy should just retire. He's becoming more and more like Tyson. Loves boxing, just doesn't love being a boxer anymore. He should just say, "F--- it, I've done this and that in the ring. I don't have anything else to prove.", and walk away. Even if you don't like him, you have to, at least, give him credit for what he's done in the ring.Comment

I give the man credit for his exceptional talent. He was blessed with lightning quick hands and feet. However, his level of opposition has always been sub-par except for maybe 2 r 3 fighters he's fought. If Jones had the proper mindset he could have been the greatest p4p fighter ever, but due to his lack of quality opponents and a habit of not wanting to fight the hardest fights out there he will always be remembered as a could've been. He Could've been the greatest.....
Knowing Roy, he probably won't even try to avenge his losses, claiming that he doesn't need to because of some BS type excuse. Now you tell me - Do the great ones make excuses or go avenge defeats....Like I said, Roy could've been.............Comment

Originally posted by Yokothe roy haters are just thrashing him with everything in the book now that hes vunerable to be critisized, he was a great fighter and deserves to be mentioned in the "same breath" with a hell of alot more great fighters than shown here.
Your'e right though, the "haters" are now letting loose the venom now that it's popular to do so, but it's all a bit boring, because it's a bunch of talk about the same **** Roy has been doing (is now doing with words only) for many years. It's all old news.Comment

Roy Jones was/is a boxing caricature, and hall-of-famer.
Trouble is, he's overshadowed everything he's accomplished by continuing to be ridiculous. Not the the Hamed ring-entrance type ridicule, but another more constant form of ridiculous attitude toward his opponents, the sport, and more recently his own legacy. I'm very glad the sport can now move ahead without the likes of him. What did he actually bring to this game?
QUESTION .... when you hear somebody say something like "Jones was/is my favorite fighter?" What do you say to them? I usually say nothing, 'cause I figure a true fight fan does not choose Jones to represent.Comment
