    Roy has left a lot of great memories embedded into my brain which will last me my lifetime, No need for one more and risk it.

        Ohh dont get me wrong, I totally realize the power that is possessed at heavyweight, but I still think Roy has better speed than most of them (not the 4 champions, I give Jones not 1 chance at any of the 4 recognized heavyweight champs)

        I think even though he has slowed down a tremendous amount it would still be a little bit faster to stay on the outside and box around a lot of the heavyweights...

        Im not talking the rahmans and the Byrds or even the Ruiz type fighters.....


        At a lower weight, the fighter would keep coming and coming eventually the big guys would tire due to them having to chase down Jones.

            I understand what you are saying, It would be in the best interest of Roy to hang them up he is 36 a layoff surely cant do him any good.....Hopefully Roy can go out but somewhere in that ****ed up head of his he still rants on saying how he is still the p4p best and STILL CANT BE BEAT!...I think Glen took a few of his marbles and forgot to put the lid on the jar, because Roy is speaking nonsense

              I agree with the first post. The heavyweight division would be a good option for Jones ( if he had to choose, i believe he is done too).
              He wouldn`tg have to weight drain, which i fought was a factor in his last two fights and he would have a great speed advantage. Also, apart from Klitscko wouldn`t u pick Jones against any heavyweight?
              Ruiz, Byrd Mesi? Non are punchers really and can be outboxed.
              If he has to come back, i`d prefer heavyweight, he should have stayed there after beating Ruiz anyhow!

                I agree with those who say Jones, being over 35, should stay retired. He said he has lost the motivation to fight which is why he got KO'd in his last 2 fights. Unless that burning motivation returns, he is unsafe in any of the divisions 160 & above.

                  He should lose weight and fight in the lighter ranks. If he still can't compete, then we know. It's hard to put weight on and still be quick. You trade one for the other usuallly.

                    175 drained him anymore and im sure will put a hurt on him...He is OLD in the boxing community and you should let your body grow, His best chance would be at cruiser or heavyweight but the in the best interest in EVERYBODY in support of Roy would be to enjoy his commentating role at HBO and promote Andre Ward and his record label.....


                    Roy aint got **** to prove.

                      that's very true Roy should just enjoy the fruits of his labor and be safe...

                      but if ever he will fight again, I want to see him against
                      Mike Tsyon, who is also old and retired ...
