Can Jones ever fight with the heavyweights again?

[Truth]

You have to understand that he wasn't getting hit until he got old. He beat every other fighter he faced with his reflexes, including Sugar Bernard Hopkins.

Roy was untouchable at one point, lets not put him down because he lost twice at the end of his career.

[Mr. Ryan]

Hopkins' uses the sugar nickname? I thought he said he was the new Golden boy..

No, it's just that my brother believe Hopkins is invincible and can beat any welterweight out there.

No, it's just that my brother believe Hopkins is invincible and can beat any welterweight out there.

You're brother is right, Hopkins does beat any welterweight out their.

Jones could still be a champion and can still be great, but he needs the right people around him to motivate him, because greatness is his only motivation right now.

Like they say in pro basketball, basketball coaching is based on convincing multi-millionairs to give it there all with no finacial motivation because they all have guarenteed contracts and are rich before they are free agents.

That is what Jones is right now. His trainer needs to convince a guy with a net worth of about $50 million to risk his life punching other people.

I don't think he is coming back.

Judging on the Johnson fight Jones has not recovered from the Tarver KO. Jones entered the ring a tired man. Like he had not slept for days.

Not wanting to take anything away from Johnson, but Jones did not even tried to move.

I think Jones will not be able to fight the demons of his KO's.

Also people would fight him differently now that his suspectable chin is exposed.

I think Jones is one of the most gifted boxers of recent history, but he should not return to the ring.

He will only be used to sweeten up the records of his opponents.

Just like Tyson. Relative nobodies like Danny Williams are gonna gun for Jones just like they did Tyson now, since they know how to fight him. Holyfield and Lewis showed everyone how to fight Tyson, and now Tyson can't even win in a slugfest. Johnson should've been the perfect opponent for Jones. Ridiculous.

If Jones fights at heavyweight now he'll get killed. Can you imagin if instead of Tarver landing a straight left it was Sanders? It would have tore Roy's head clean off.

[Ivansmamma]

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 think Jones would beat Brewster, or Ruiz in a rematch.

[MlLkMan]

Yeah, he needs to retire and go on with rapping...."Cause Roy Gon Ball, cause Roy got bread, Roy aint got to smoke or drink he gets HEAD"

[Mr. Untouchable]

Can Jones ever fight with the heavyweights again?

I believe the only place safe enough for his chin might be at middleweight.

Jones is finished as a fighter, unless he move back down to middleweight and beats hopkins down, for some megabucks
