Roy Jones to fight for vacant cruiserweight title - Boxing - Yahoo! Sports
Roy Jones continuing to fight the good uhh... well he's still fighting.
Go roy and prey the net Sayers get hit by a car!!
Ney sayers
If he wins his next fight. He is apparently in line to fight Wlodarczyk in Poland :-\. More likely than the other option Wlodarczyks camp introduced- fighting Tarver in the US
Roy should fuck target off and go for a real belt (WBC)
He will then have wiped all the defeats away.
First time i heard of the UBO, another organisation to the list.
Dear God, some people just won't get it.
Is that what Roy is still calling what he does in the ring? Fighting ???
Really man, I'm passed the point of feeling bad for a shot superstar who is now more new born drunken Giraffe in a gusty wind storm in the ring. He's no common plugger who never achieved or something. While I don't want to see him hurt, I'd like to see him ko'd in 1 because maybe then he'll 'get it'. Doubtful.
I think now it's just a contest for who can ko jones the hardest. Id rather see micheal spinks get back in the ring. This jones tour for irs money got old three ko's ago. If roy even remembers them.
I think we have got to the point that if Roy even wins his next fight it will be an achievement.
It happened in the Danny Green fight and he's still fighting. Maybe he needs another 1st rd KO to get the point. It's at the point now that i'm waiting for him to get seriously hurt with each fight, sad for a all time great.Quote:

Yup, that's boxing for you... ;D
that is if you can even call it a world title, Jones is just aiming for that future sponsorship from Gerber
Jones be addicted to dat money, as long as there's still a dollar to make, he'll keep fighting and stinking out venues.
wouldn't be shocked if now he and Holyfield decided to take it to the ring, I remember when this fight was being mentioned after Jones won his WBA HW title, both are so desperate to keep going on in the ring wouldn't surprise me one bit to see them actually go through with it nowQuote:

I actually believe him when he says he just loves fighting..why else would you put on this circus act after a hall of fame career and diminish your achievments? This is no way about the money..Quote:

RJJ is one of my favorite fighters. But dude needs to retire. And the only was I see him retiring is if he wins a title or get seriously hurt. I hope RJJ but I'm not betting on him.
Is someone doing play by play?
anyone have a link to free stream for this one cant bring myself to pay $9.99 for it
