Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr: I'm Calling Out Any Cruiserweight Champ

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former four-division champ Roy Jones Jr. continues to fight on, nearly 20 years past his peak and more than a decade beyond the end of his prime. The American superstar has now won five straight, the latest coming in a 75-second one-punch body shot knockout of Hany Atiyo in their cruiserweight fight Friday in Krasnodar, Russia.

The bout took place the day prior to a cruiserweight title fight doubleheader taking place in Moscow, to where Jones flew in to attend Saturday evening.

The co-main event saw Denis Lebedev score a two-round knockout of Pawel Kolodziej, an unbeaten contender from Poland. An overhand left was all that Lebedev needed to end the night, picking up his first win in nearly two years.

Beats a few bums, thinks he's back. Sigh.

[White_Knight]

Well, you shouldn't.

[Weltschmerz]

Why don't you just call out Vladimir?

[IronDanHamza]

Prime Roy is back.

He wants that 5th weight belt.

This sucks. It was a bad idea five, even ten years ago... calzaghe should have been the end of roy trying to fight top fighters... Has he forgot about what green and lebedev did to him?

[George Orwell]

Roys just having fun. he's not exactly risking his health fighting these bums in Russia.

Stick to doing that Roy

i really believe roy jones jr could put on 25 lbs step into the ring and KO the alabama jackass aka the windmill

[Weltschmerz]

he wants some more of this.


Seriously, it really wouldn't be safe for him.

[PunchyPotorff]

He's just enjoying the attention and getting some press from KOing a can and going to a big card next day. And good for him. Just so he never again tries to take on an elite. Why risk a good thing? Solid paycheck in Russia, solid gig commentating on HBO. He could do both for 5 more years easily. Why tempt fate?
