Thread: Let's talk about Roy jones..yawn

One of my favourite fighters but has had a great run recently against questionable competition.

So will he get the crusierweight title this time or not..he seems to say himself that this is his last shot..

What do you think?

I'm still thinking he should have retired after the Ruiz fight and the longer he keeps at boxing the more and more right I feel

I don't think he can get one and keep it.... lol...

We all feel that way but the fact he is still competing at some level has to be respected and I'm excited for him to finish with the title.

Is he done if he wins CW title or not? IMO it depends on how broke he is.

Rap label loss more than it took in. Never scored a major PPV event throughout his whole career. Dude is seemingly so broke- he tried twice to fight MMA guys Anderson Silva then Rampage Jackson which both fell apart- Thank goodness neither occurred. RJJ would've been embarrassed far more than James Toney was. I agree he should've retired after Ruiz or the longer he keeps at boxing the more and more right I feel

I would have given him the third Tarver fight, Glen Johnson loss included. lolol....

No, he can't do anything lol. He still looks stylish beating up club fighters, but every single time he's been in a real fight he loses badly, going back almost 10 years now! What were his last halfway respectable wins, Lacy and Trinidad? Huck isn't great, but he's very comparable to Lebedev and I doubt Roy even has the legs to take early rounds anymore.

IMO Roy is a top 5 of all time. It's hard to put his talent into words. There'll never be another Roy Jones.

No, I do not think Jones can beat Huck in fact I am sure he will get smashed to bits. It has got to the stage with Roy that any wins he has are a good achievement even against club fighters.

If Roy won the title he would defend it and will not quit the game until he has been knocked out and even then he would try and justify it.
