Why is Roy still fighting, it can only harm his legacy.

No harm in this matchup. They're both pretty past it, I like Bobby Gunn alot but even an old Roy beats him up. Gunn was just a rough street kid who worked hard and he got a couple shots, nice humble guy. Pretty decent contest of the ghost of two fighters, one an ATG and one a pretty solid contender.

Let them fight.

Had RJJ retired after beating Ruiz for an alphabet heavyweight crown, his name would be spoke among the top 5 pound-for-pound fighters in boxing history.

Now, he just keeps adding dark, sad spots to his legacy.

"Former IBA, WBC USNBC and WBA NABA cruiserweight titlist...." The article starts out with this 5hit as if it really means something.

Top 5? Hell no.
And I was a big RJJ supporter back in the 90's and early 2000's. Top 5 though? Even with retiring at the best possible moment, I would never put Roy on top 5 ATG. There's just too many to easily put above him. Key word, easily.
