http://i.imgur.com/0KBrjlG.jpg Apparently he "fights" this weekend. If ever a pic said it all it was this one. I mean come on, this is just getting embarrassing to another degree. Fry looks like he just woke up in a Greyhound bus station with a scratch off lotto ticket and a Snickers in his pocket. HBO needs to pay more for announce duties and get this man out!
Wow, kind of figured he actually had called it a day.. Appears they are fighting in Latvia, for the "German version" of the WBU cruiserweight title :p
Sad thing is it will probably take losing to someone like this for Roy to finally get the message, and that might not be for a while. I wonder if he'd even be medically cleared to fight a ranked guy in a first world country anymore. His opponent here looks like he's suffering from malnutrition for that matter, maybe we should be more worried about him :-\
What's that thing hanging around Roy's neck? It looks like a duck call on my phone.
Roy's body looks messed up to what it use to be. That alone would be reason to call it a day. He looks old.
Courtney Fry? Wow.
Roy Jones vs Courtney Fry. Wow.
Keeps going at this rate it will be Roy Jones vs Ryanman next year.
It looks alright to me, I'd take it. In a non gay way of course.Quote:

Do u think Roy regrets not trying harder to make some of those big fights during his prime? Interesting to think about it...
He just looks so sad, as though each piece of promotion for this fight is him selling another small part of his dwindling soul.
I like the comment about Courtney Fry looking like a hobo, my hair looks like that every morning, but I have the decency to do something about it before leaving the house!
Oh dear Lord. Roy wins then does a song for the crowd ;D
That Buffer clone cracks me up
This is Roy's first stoppage victory in years.
Good for him.
NOW STOP.
Jones Jnr/Toney 2 and the loser has to retire. I wonder if Jones might even win as Toney isn't even fighting more than 3 rounders anymore. :-\
Jones is quicker and more active. He'd have to dance around Jabba like Princess Laya for 10-12 rounds and not get hit. I reckon he can do it.Quote:

I mean he's fighting like once a year, against guys who are decent in their domestic scenes.
What's wrong with that? I mean, depending which source you believe, his net worth seems to be between $20 million to as high as $45 million.
So you've got to assume money is not why he is fighting because he ain't getting shit from these fights.
Let the guy enjoy his hobby.
Agreed.Quote:

He's 45 or so now. He's not getting hurt. Let him have his fun at this point.
Oh, it's definitely money. He owes the IRS millions.Quote:

Who could have possibly guessed that when he got starched twice in a row back in 2004 and everyone was calling for him to retire that he'd fight on for another 10 YEARS AND COUNTING. It's pretty sad and you have to wonder how much additional brain damage he sustained in those extra 10 years of fighting and sparring.
As a Roy Jones fan, I wish he would have seen the writing on the wall and hung up his gloves after the first Tarver fight. Even back then, he was talking about retirement. He wanted to set up a mega fight with Mike Tyson and then retire. That was 11 years ago. We've seen a lot of greats fight on past their primes, but 11 years is ridiculous.
Even though Roy is fighting non-world class competition, I think most people worry that his punch resistance is so bad that one of these guys can catch him solid and cause serious damage. That is what I worry about. Remember him vs. Ledvedev? Roy was doing ok n became exhausted late and suffered a horrific knockout. I would like to see him quit n stay healthy.
Roy mustve forgot that he is old<<<<<<<<see what i did there
You must have forgotten that has been done here already. :)Quote:

That's a huge leap to just guess or make up.
Like I said because you owe money doesn't mean you're broke, I owe my brother £10, which I have, I just haven't given him it yet!
"reliable sources say he's worth $45 million." My ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:o:o
damn i missed that postQuote:

I hear you! Roy seems to be OK, Holyfield is questionable, but I'm sure Toney does not have the good sense to stop now.Quote:

I personally would love to watch a n in-shape Holyfield fight one fo these young bums ranked in the top 10.
whats amazing is, I was thinking when the roy jones Bernard Hopkins rematch was and id have said a couple of years max and even that seems a long time
although I knew it was at least that because Hopkins has had a few significant fights since
4 years
fuck me
im gonna be 50 in no time
Going to be 50! I wish I could say that!
