Even Though You'll Tell Me I Should, I havent Given Up On Roy Jones jr

whats wierd to me about roy is the last tarver fight inrouds 4and 5 he started tagging tarver and tarver didnt know what to do then he just stopped punching wtf.

Just as they promote Pork as the other white meat it should be Roy Jones Jr, "The Other Evander Holyfield"

Thats the way I was with Holyfield after he lost to Lewis.......I didn't give up on him even though his light had been flickering for some time.

Then one night almost six years ago, I had my whole family sit with me to watch Holyfield fight a guy named John Ruiz and I was embarrassed at his performance in that fight. At the time I didn't know but his last brilliant performance was against Tyson in their first match up. I had been building him up for a long time and then poof, he was well past his prime. It was at that moment, that I realized that we had passed the point of no return.

I silently thanked this man for all of the great moments and then my attention shifted to a rising star named Wladimir Klitscko and his brother Vitali.

You'll find another icon bro.

This is the smartest thing I've read all day!!! Im wotcha Bro..Roy will redeem himself!

Roy is different from Evander, Evander will lose to someone who shouldn't share the same ring and he will still want to fight on a high level. Roy is seeing where his level is at right now, since he's not world class yet again, he is trying lower class, and if he loses there he has no place. Smart move for Roy

but what I'm saying is that Evander was never the same and Roy probably won't be either. But not to worry, there will be another exciting fighter to watch

I want to see the old Roy, but he is gone. Evander competes and loses, but not as bad as Roy has. But, on the other hand, Evander's skills have left him, where as Roy, IMO, still has the speed and power to beat alot of people. Too bad he hasn't been able to take a punch. If he could go rounds without getting hit, he would still be champ. I'm scared to watch him take a punch now.

His physical and mental status is not what it once was. He lost the speed from weight fluctuation and it shows becasue a few years ago, he would have never have gotten caught with that big punch by Tarver. Also, psychologically, he has not gotten over the 2 KOS

I really like Roy but based on what I've seen lately, I can't get excited about this fight.
