Roy Jones Jr. at Heavyweight

[Elroy The Great]

Roy has no regrets about fighting Ruiz.

He was open to fighting Evander.

Roy's biggest regret was not adapting his style to compensate for his age.

id doubt hed openly admit to regretting the hw move.
he had his whole career after beating ruiz to do more work at hw.

he knew better.

ruined him anyway.

He's been asked numerous times about his subsequent losses to Tarver and Johnson after he'd fought Ruiz. He's always maintained that he wouldn't have changed a thing, as he feels he accomplished all he could with the Ruiz win.

How did he have his whole career after Ruiz to do more work at HW?

He was a 34 year old LHW who'd fought 49 times.

He never planned on having a sustained run at HW, but he was open to having other fights.

What difference does it make if he's still fighting?

He's fighting at a very low level, and he hadn't been a top level fighter for years.

point being, since everything is now hindsight (many years since the easy ruiz fight), he could have easily fought on at hw after ruiz.

he
had
no
SINCERE
intention

one n done and ruiz was the perfect sap.

He couldn't get the fights he wanted.

I see no point in taking this any further.

It's completely pointless.
