    Default Is it true roy jones retires?

    Nothing in black and white guys and nothing on google but I was on YouTube lastnight and found a video by "wooooooooodya" and it's got jim watt etc talking about it. Search for videos in the last 24 hours.
    Ps if someone can get the vid on here it would be great

    Bout time really.

    His last fight with absolutely anything left to offer was against Calzaghe.

    He could probably take on old bloated names like Lacy, Sheika and Trinidad to his hearts content but I dont think he wants that. He could probably have beaten wright.

    He had jack shit to offer Calzaghe and still put JC on his arse..

    It's about that time, Roy. Save what's left of your health and enjoy life. Legend.

    I thought Roy was promoting a fight in Poland, so thought he would have seen the fight out as contracted.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Roy Jones is fighting next week in Poland against Dawid Kostecki at 175. Maybe after this he will retire

    Like I said....... "old bloated names like Lacy, Sheika and Trinidad to his hearts content"

    He beat Sheika and Lacy after the Calzaghe fight he still had enough to beat those level.

    I saw Ringside today and they said he has retired but keep hearing he is fighting soon.

    Which is it?

    Quite honestly I thought those were pretty good wins all things considered how terribly shot Jones has been for years now. I was happy when he schooled Lacy and looked like his old self minus his legs.

    If Jones is to retire before or after this fight against a journeyman it doesn't much matter just as long as he does finally retire.

    He's the most talented fighter of all time hands down and its time he stopped pissing on his legacy and endangering his life by fighting far far too long.

    Roy jones in his prime is something that might never get repeated ever again.

    Roy risked it all for history and all for boxing. He was the first in over 100 years old to do it and then come down and beat tarver.

    He is my favorite fighter of all time. And his showboating and creativity cant be repeated.
