Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” - Roy Jones’ Masochistic Masquerade

[SUBZER0ED]

Roy needs to set aside his pride and stop boxing, period. He can commentate on HBO, or he can get into training the young guys. To keep fighting overseas (or anywhere) is pitiful. He's being exploited for his name's ability to draw crowds. Enough is enough Roy, you're killing yourself.

It would have been perfect if Roy had gone out after the first Tarver fight, the writing was on the wall then, it was over. He was 49-1 and he could have riden off into the sunset at 36 years old with his legacy in place. Now at nearly 47 he is 62-9, 62-9!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Roy

Excellent piece. Most important point being the comparison between Roy, Hopkins and Foreman. As long as his yes men can still milk some money off him he'll always "have one more fight left in him". Reminds me of Requim for a Heavyweight with Anthony Quinn.

Come on Roy time to call it a day

Roy's career was over and complete once he won the heavyweight title. I was hoping then that he'd retire on top and as one of the greatest ever. As a big fan and a Pensacola native....I can't watch him fight anymore.

Enzo was a former cruiserweight champion so it isn't like he'd never competed at a high level before. I thought the writer trashed Enzo somewhat here.
