Roy Jones Jr ''I Want Kimbo''

[THE REED]

It's his right and privilige, and I've no right to say what another man should do, but I am tired of him as a fighter. And you might know I have had a lot of time and respect for Jones, but now, after those last two fights...the Hopkins fight even more so...no, I'm not interested at all.

He can have no possible affect on the boxing scene now other than cheap exhibitions.

But he should carry on with what makes him happy, I'm just not interested in it anymore.

That viewpoint is 110% fine with me... I respect that opinion, I understand that opinion, I can even agree with that opinion to an extent...

But for some of these posters to **** on him for it?

What does it mater if he fights?

How does it affect ANYONE or ANYTHING?

I love Roy, one of my favourite fighters ever but I am not interested in watching him fight again. He can't pull the goddamn trigger anymore, his confidence is shot to pieces, he couldn't even let his hands go against a 45 year old Bhop. And yet, he keeps fighting (or should that be feignting), and subjecting his fans to ****-fests like the Hopkins fight. Sure, he's not forcing us to watch but the super-loyal ones will continue to do so, and Roy isn't being fair with them.

Kimbo is gonna get Roy up against the ropes and stun him good. Dag Roy, retire man this fight is too risky for you. Kimbo is gonna have 25 pounds on you. He will be like 225 or 230 and Roy will be puffing bac up to like 190 or so. Roy, you won't be fighting Ruiz this time. Kimbo can't even make cruiser, he had a tough time cutting to 215 in UFC. He will pummel Roy.

Here's the problem with Kimbo.

After 2 rounds, he's sucking serious wind, and has the defense of a wall.

People need to understand that jones is doing it because he love. It's not about being at the top anymore.

[Heeb]

Because it's BULL****...


Roy fighting is effecting who?


What belt is he holding hostage?

What division is he keeping hostage?

What fights is Roy keeping anybody from seeing?

Most of his **** is cheap PPVs anyway... meaning hes not even taking up network air time.

So why does it matter if he wants to still fight?

Nah man, I agree with you 100%. It's not like Roy needs to be fighting somebody else right now. At this stage in his career if he continues to fight, he can fight whoever he wants and the fans really can't complain.

His super loyal fans... know nd understand... that he's 42 years old... hasn't had an elite win in over 7 years.

His super loyal fans know, he is far past it, can't beat an elite fighter at this stage.

He isn't screwing us at all... we know what he's got left, we know the risk of buying his fight, that it could turn into another short loss, or another long cant pull the trigger loss.

But his super loyal fans... are just that... They take the bad with the good and the good with the bad.. and as long as he decides to fight, they will support him... and they are ok with it.... because at one point in time... he was the best they ever saw.

Thats why they are super loyal fans.

End of.

I still find it entertaining when he fight's guys like Sheika, Lacy, Badi Ajuamu. If he want's to do it for a few more years or fight MMA fighters moving into boxing why not? I will watch it. If you don't wan't to watch it don't. Look at it as a farewell tour or Joe Louis bum of the month club or something...

[Stab Judah]

Wasn't there a rumor a few years back about Roy and Kimbo getting into a scuffle on someones yacht?

Long live Roy

One more fight and he's gone. He said this year will be his last. He want to leave the sport as a winner.


LET'S GO ROY!!
