How Long? Too Long, that's already apparent.

How far past his prime? Well, you'd have to go back to the Reggie Johnson fight or sooner to find his "prime", actually, probably the second Griffith fight would be Roy's peak.

I think he is past prime evidenced by the Johnson fight. But he will probably fight for years on like most pros and go the route of Saad-Muhammad.

he should retire after his next win,he still has his speed,just lost his co-ordination a bit and stamina

He could still win a title.

He should pursue Clinton Woods, he could win that fight.. I know that Woods still wants it.

Until someone knock him out...wait someone did that. Until someone knocks him out cold and he gets stretched....wait someone did that.

Forever!

Until he comes in fully prepared and fully focused for a fight and is soundly defeated in every aspect.

I think Roy will have one more big fight soon. Probably after his next fight, if he wins.

i'm sure he's holding out for a title and if he gets that then he'll retire. i personally don't think that he will win another title, no one fears him anymore, the mystique is gone, people know how to fight him and pressure him after the Johnson fight, anyone with the skills to at least do what Johnson did.

if he is trying to get a fight with Woods, i think Woods would stop him honestly, mainly due to the fact that he knows jones is fragile and has a shakey chin. he woods won't be afraid to engage, he has a better mental aspect to fighting jones now, especially after already fighting him.

jones ought to reitire with the win he has and be done before he gets starched again and really tarnishes his legacy. it's not the losses it's the way of the losses that will ruin all he's built.
