    Nah. Roy is just barely out of his prime. I still think he's got enough to squeeze out 36, maybe 37 fights before it's time to cash out.

      Is this 2005? If so, yes.

        Thats of course if he wants to retire and not let the sport retire him.

          He will never retire unless some commish forces him to retire.
          They should have done this a while ago.

            He should've retired after a trilogy with Tarver.... Should've never gone after Johnson or the last 15 years of being trash. Ruined his image greatly.

              Have no problem with Roy still active, could care less about his ongoing career. All I know he was the best boxer I'd ever seen.

                Roy Jones Jr is getting pretty old. Right now he is 47-years-old and he's turning 47 in January. Do you guys think he should retire? I sure do. I think he should go for the biggest fight he can get and go out in style. But the last thing I would want to see is for him to gets seriously hurt because he did not know when to call it quits. No doubt he is a living legend. What do you guys think?
                I think he should continue to fight, his brian is already .

                He should have retired when he fought Omar Sheika and even before that when he fought Ruiz and made history at the time. after those fights he hurt his legacy big time. Don't think it's a money related issue because he also comments various big fights and I think he gets paid good money for those fights.

                  IIRC he tore his biceps in his last fight and is all but retired because of it.

                  from what i've heard jones does not need money. he made a lot of it when he was boxing. HBO likes him and wants to keep him around. i think he's good in the broadcast booth. that's a six figure gig, and if roy's faculties remain intact he can do that for many years to come.

                  just think about how much better he is than foreman and lewis. lewis was a nice guy, but he could hardly speak coherently. and fforeman was an ******* and larry and jim couldn't stand him. i liked jones more than ward, too. ward was very articulate, but he was a bit too bland and cold for an expert commentator.
