What was the purpose of Roy Jones fighting only once at HW?Why not go all the way?

[LinealChampion]

Lennox Lewis is an ATG HW. Probably on a even higher tier than Wlad. But he was shot in 2003. Lewis would probably still have put Roy into a coma but it's not like Roy had to fight 1997 Golota version of Lewis................

I agree, but Roy wanted no part of Lewis, the height, reach and power at the later stages of Lewis was way to much for him, and it's also not like this was prime peak Roy Jones at MW.

But Roy did seem to think Tyson was very beatable, but Tyson was way passed shot at hat point as well.

What if Roy fought Chris Byrd for the WBO strap?

[Scipio2009]

There was so much money to be had for him if he'd have stayed and took on more heavyweights. It's mind boggling the money he could have made. People would have tuned in to see David (roy jones) vs Goliath match ups. PPV records would have been SHATTERED.

What a waste.
