If Roy Jones had of retired after the first Tarver fight, how would he be remembered?

    Other then that it's sad and at this stage I worry about his health, I don't care too much about what happened after he got back down to LHW after the Ruiz fight.

    Too me, RJJ pre-HW is one of the greatest of all time. Obviously not in terms of resume, but in terms of ability. I'll probably get laughed at but whatever. RJJ was not human in the 90's and early 2000's.

      Nothing to laugh about. It's the truth.

          superman is and will be top 5 ATG

          his resume wasnt solid?

          hopkins, toney, pazienza, mccallum, griffin, virgil hill, cesar gonzales(was undefeated), trinidad(after his downfall from the hw even though trinidad was past it), he won the first tarver fight as well, but despite what hopkins accused him of and that is never giving rematches he rematched tarver.

          for the record 90's rjj would've ****d hopkins at any age and arguably any middleweight in history

            Unquestionably his reputation would be more revered.

            Roy was my favourite boxer, i was in ore of him back in the late 1990’s, in fact to this day, Floyd Mayweather aside, I’ve yet to witness a more naturally gifted fighter.

            But things have changed.

            I can’t watch him any longer, it’s distressing to see him compete so many levels below his best, he MUST understand that his time has gone.

            I read recently he was looking into medical treatment to ‘reverse the effects of brain trauma’. This alone is surely a huge sign to himself to STOP.

            He won’t.

            I am revolted by governing bodies and states permitting him a boxing licence, those who sanction such things should be brought to trial in my opinion.

            Boxing is a disgusting sport when it acts like this.

            I hope he sees sense before all sense is knocked out of him.
