Ok everyone here is what the questions of the day for today are. Roy Jones keeps on tampering with the idea of returning. In the last few weeks, months etc he has mentioned returning for heavyweight fights, fighting Clinton Woods again and also getting the winner of the Tarver Johnson rematch.
1. What do you all think Jones should do and can he make a comeback?
2. Does Tarver really have his number or was it just a fluke?
3. Do you feel that he has his legacy cemented in stone or no?
1. Personally I feel that Jones should stay out of the game and he should not attempt to make a comeback. Jones took two babk to back horrible losses and he was brutalized in the glencoffe fight. If he had lost to Tarver then won a few more fights or something then lost again then maybe it would be viable for him to consider coming back but after the way he lost he should just hang it up.
2. I think that Tarver has his number. Even though Jones won the first fight Tarver outpunched and outlanded him (So what does that tell you? A gift again from the judges.) He seemed to fight differently against Tarver and he was more tenative and did more leaning against the ropes. He claimed it was the weight loss I dont know maybe it was. The second fight however he returned and had been acclimatized to the weight and Tarver made him watch his own fight. (Roy Jones got knocked across the ring and into the front row of seats and was watching himself in the ring lol)
3. Hmm difficult one. In the early part of his career Jones would take fights and he would fight big named people and he would take some risk. After the mclellan mishap in Europe Jones claimed that it made him not want to hurt people etc etc. This may be true, however before Jones fought Tarver/Ruiz he hadnt fought any big names since James Toney and before that it was Bernard Hopkins. Everyone else was justa bunch of tomatoe cans. Of course he makes the argument that there was no one in the light heavyweight/super middleweight divisions and this was true but Jones had some big fights still left. I wonder if he has ever heard the word rematch. Hopkins, Toney, Merqui Sosa and tons of others wanted rematches but Jones did not oblige Before the Tarver,Glencoffe and Tuiz fights jones had been fighting people who were retired cops and who boxed part time or guys who worked in the movies half a day and boxed half a day. You cannot make a legacy doing this. And yes he beat John Ruiz so he gets accolade for that but his legacy is seemingly tarnished in my eyes because of the afformentioned. Even though he goes down in history for beating Ruiz
