    Roy Jones is going to fight again

    Still, despite being taken out inside a round by Aussie cruiser Danny Green late last year, and despite then losing a lop-sided decision to former victim Bernard Hopkins, Jones has anounced he will box on. ESPN.com has reported how the 41-year-old is in talks to face "Bronx Bomber" Danny Santiago in Jones' hometown of Pensacola in October. What Jones can possibly think he has left to offer the sport only he knows, but on he goes, further risking his health and reputation.

      Maybe after Haye takes on the legendary Audley Harrison, but on a serious note what is this guy thinking?

        Sad to read, so I guess he will just fight journeymen, lose some and win some until he gets really old and finally hangs them up.

          He said that he didn't want to end up brain damaged, but thats the only thing that can happen with him continuing to fight. Hopefully his fans will boycott his fights and he will have no choice but to stay retired

                He never officially announced it, so I knew he was still thinking about it,

                  I guess you are right. I tought he was decided but didnt want to make a big deal about it. If he likes to keep on fighting against journeymen just for fun i guess i have nothing against it. I think he knows he's done at the top level.

                    It's so weird how quickly Roy adapted to losing. I remember when he was regarded as the best fighter on the planet... now he's content to take $$$ and lose. He's everyone's *****... Calzaghe, Hopkins, Green... the list of people passing him around like a crack whore is endless lately.

                    Look at his record of the last 6 years. The guy used to be undefeated (okay, against not exactly stellar comp that could stretch him) and was widely respected.

                    These last six years he's gone an amazing 5-6 (2), three of the losses by getting KTFO, and another one by extended slap poisoning.

                    If you said to anyone who'd only watched boxing for a couple of years (and as this is NSB, then that's 85% of you) that Roy used to be great, they'd never believe you.
