say it isnt so roy...............
he still has his fight in july, but assuming he wins that, he wants to fight glen johnson again
glen johnson said he would be happy to do it one more time and would like to get it done before the year is over according to
boxingtalk.com
i would really hate to see roy lose to him again and further tarnish his legecy
imo he needs to hang 'em up................NOW
Bet Roy wished he retired after the Ruiz fight.
No one would ever have mentioned Antonio Tarver, and Jones Jr. would go down as one of the alltime greats.
Of course, no one can deny he was an absolute genius right up until he made one of the most idiotic decisions in history, by relinquishing the Heavyweight title, and going back down to 175, to lose back-to-back against a relative no-name fighter.

Ha!
Let's hope not, for Roy's sake. You don't want a once breath-taking fighter going out like that.

Roy is fighting Ajamu to see where he stands. And Roy says if he loses, or doesn't win spectacular fashion he is going to retire because he'll know he wont be able to compete anymore.

Give it up RJJ,just let i go like Bernard.
many. But I think the whole dilemma was that he didn't want to get stopped. AS he showed in the middle rounds, he could make Tarver look like he was nothing and using that uppercut when Tarver tried to bully him. But I think the whole thing is that Roy had the wrong mentality to go in their with, I don't think he walked in just to go the distance. He went in to be competitive..but the thing is I think he was more happy that when Tarver nailed him with that right hook that he didn't knock him out, that he needed to get his confidence back. because really, that right hook may have ko'd anyone else.
Personally I think that GJ is on the slide, if he did fight Jones then the looser's career would be well and truely over... all or nothing for both of them and GJ will want to go out on top.
Would be a good fight, no doubt... if Roy sorts his head out.
The sad thing is,had he gone in with the right mentality,he could have koed Tarver who as bad as RJJ was,Tarver was even worse. See when McGirt told him to let his hands go and he threw for about 30 seconds,then early had a heart attack?!?!RJJ could have koed him then and there,heck I though Tarver was going to fall down himself. Also,going into a fight just to survive is ridiculous,one should be in there to win!!You want to just survive,do it somewhere else!Quote:
