Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr. Still Eyes Cruiserweight Crown in Quest

[javysouthpaw]

He is my all time favorite fighter but I hate to keep reading about him getting KO'd all the time. I wouldn't be suprised if he ended up with ALS or something similar due to the brain damage. I wonder how much he makes per fight now?

Fcuk I hate seeing Roy like this. He is such a good commentator too, I wish he could get by with just that job.

I see none of the major belt holders as winnable fights for him.

Is this a joke? RE Fuck-in-****-u-lous. LOL.

Jones should retire already. But since he still wants to fight, how about Jones vs Cunningham.

That sounds like a horrible idea for Roy..

Here you go -KEV-

Ill break it down like this from fellow fan to fan.

If you understand who he is, how he was raised, how he was bred, what he was put through... The way his mind was trained to fight, be the best, always be the best, always be competitive, always win.

Its truly all he knows.

Its so much easier for us to sit on the outside and see how it looks from where we sit, and lets be honest... It doesnt look good. But you gotta put y ourself in his shoes, feel h ow he feels, have the mindset that he has always had... All hes ever known was that he was untouchable since he was 13,14,15 years old... On top of all that, you can feel the love he has for the sport, the thrill of competing.

People talk about money problems... Hey maybe so, but you also cant deny a true love the guy has... Did you know he fought in an exhibition like a week ago? How much did he make from that? Nothing... He didnt need to do that, he wanted to do that.

You just gota understand the guy... And even if you disagree with him continuing to fight... Then thats absolutey fine, because Im right there with you.. i dont want him to continue anymore... But will he stop because I stopped supporting him? Nah... It doesnt make a difference... So in the end, its all you can do... Wish him a safe victory and retirement, and if he doesnt retire... Wish him another safe victory... Its all you can do.

I dont support him continuing to fight, but if he chooses too, I will hope he wins, because thats what he wants.

In anither note... After he finally does retire... And a few years go by, and you talk about Roy Jones Jr. You arent talking about Danny Green or Denis who Lebedev... Just like when Holyfield retires... You arent going to talk about Ibragimov... You are going to talk about the beast of the man that was Prime Holyfield.

That is the best summary of RJJ yet, ree****yaluss!!!!

He needs to be banned from boxing. Hes going to get seriously, permanently hurt.

If he was like Hopkins, still able to hang around without taking much punishment, then Im all for him fighting. But hes getting KTFO or getting his ass kicked bad in almost every one of his losses.

its not healthy. Holyfield needs to be banned from boxing too(he already was, but I guess they let him come back...)

[BKM-]

truthfully i'm more concerned for Rid**** Bowe. HE wants to come back?
