“ "That's not meant to take anything away from [Antonio] Tarver and [Glen] Johnson, but I just think Roy killed himself when he came back down from heavyweight. It's probably one of the dumbest things he's ever done. First of all, when you win a heavyweight championship, at 36, 37 years old and losing 20 pounds of muscle, that killed his body. ”
— Montell Griffin on Roy Jones Jr.


I think M.G. makes a good observation here. RJJ should have stuck it out in the heavier division after taking the belt from Ruiz. What the heck was he thinking!!??

In the words of the Kool-aid pitcher, "Oh yeah." I think it was his ego that brought him back down to light heavy. He's had enough of Tarver's trash talk and figured he was better than ever, so why not? We've all seen why not.

He should have stayed at heavy, beaten everyone except maybe the Klitschko brothers (who he'd be even money against) and Lewis (who he'd be an underdog against) and made Tarver come up to him.
