I agree Joe wasted a large portion of his career and tried to make amends near the end of his career, so Roy Jones was logically the next fight for him. He had beaten 2 young undefeated fighters and 2 old legends.
I agree with you but injury did stop him from fighting on many occasion's, Joe had bad hand trouble
all through his career,let's face fact's in boxing you hand's are your tool's.
At the end of his career he was no spring chicken, himself, but I agree he did waste a large part of his
career.
