Jones used to be my favorite boxer and I would still stay that I am a 'hardcore' fan but... well, he should ride the sunset before it gets anymore embarrassing, fighting washed out boxers instead of admitting that he doesn't have what it takes anymore to become champion again in the weight categories he used to be once the uncontested King of kings. Why the hell does he want to fight a MMA fighter at boxing? it,s ludicrous, even if he just does that for the publicity, it's embarrassing.

I agree. If he was like Larry Holmes and fighting Butterbean at 52 years old I could put up with it. But this is a joke.

Why is a boxer trying to go into MMA a joke?

Don't know how much of the story is legit and how many is opinion. Isn't Roy Jones supposed to be fighting Jeff Lacy soon?
