Look what weight reduction did to Oscar against the Pacman. Ego got the better of Roy Jones jr and he thought he was invincible, he probably was throughout the 90's. Had he fought Calzaghe in 2000 for example i doubt if Joe Balls would win a round!
    Roy Jones jr should've retired after Tarver 2! He was shot to bits after that fight.
    That was a great win to beat Ruiz for a light heavy so I am sure he would not want to change that choice. It was a brilliant achievement although it came with a heavy price I am sure he would never change making that move.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Roy Jones Jr. can't retire. Roy Jones Jr. is an ageless clone. 'nuff said.

    It was a great win, one of the best in boxing history, but what does it profit a man to gain the world but lose your soul? Jones jr didn't lose his soul literally to boxing, but boxing was definitely lost to him after this fight. Jones proved his point to himself and to all of us fans, he alone has to weigh up the cost of it. I wonder if he really thinks it was worth it? I hope he has a good solid life in retirement without any major complications, continuing on for so long after Tarver 2 could not be good for his long term health.
