Comments Thread For: Russian Promoter Urges Roy Jones Jr. To Walk Away

[boxingfan4life]

If he wants to box and make money then maybe he should just travel around doing some exhibitions against real bums where he can just showcase some old flashy skills.

As far as competitive fighting, well he needs to stop that now. Enzo is basically shot too, although not as much as Roy and can probably still operate at a decent level on a good day and he still put Roy's lights out which tells you everything you need to know.

If you're getting literally put to sleep face first by a 2015 version of Enzo Maccarinelli then it's probably time to think seriously about hanging them up as far as fighting anyone half decent.

I concur with your assessment. Jones to walk away. The sad thing is he probably wont.

Roy just needs to be saved from himself. Have to respect him more than just about any fighter out there. He's fighting because he loves to compete and wants to be the best. How many guys like that do we have today? Not many. He just doesn't want to accept that his body isn't up to the task anymore.

With respect, no one can care more about a fighter's health than the fighter himself....

There we have it not even the Russians aren't forcing him to carry on, take the damn hint Roy and work with the Russian youth before it becomes too late and you pick up something bad.

People need to stop telling him to retire, they should urge him to fight on. That way he would know nobody cares for his health and he would make that decision to quit by himself only.

Say it as it is - Roy Jones was ****** taking this fight.

honestly yes

I mean Enzo isn't "shot" per se, his punch resistance is just gone but roy doesn't even have power anymore, and considering the size difference and the fact enzo can still punch, what exactly was the point of this fight?

I thought for sure it was going to be rigged, but no.

i think we need to have ***** himself tell Roy to retire

I agree. And I think if he does it from atop a horse with his shirt off there is no way Roy doesn't listen & hang em up.
