Whats the real reason why roy fights on?

I do think there is something fishy about Roy going over to Poland to fight that Kostecki character, then Kostecki being arrested and exposed as the leader of an organized crime syndicate...

LOL, Kostecki supposedly was engaged in running a few brothels back in the day, and pimping is illegal in Poland (unlike the prostitution itself). It took a few years to convict him, in which time he moved up in rankings. He was sentenced well before the fight, but reasonably expected they wouldn't lock him up before the event.

The fishy thing is, Kostecki would probably beat RJJ very convincingly. Instead RJJ won a controversial decision against a guy who has no power and had no time to prepare. And his win will probably get him a fight against cruiser champ - Wlodarczyk - I think that was the ultimate goal of the promotors.

Hey I was just going by the report on boxingscene and that is the phrase they used to describe him.

Roy Jones has been and is shot. Now completely shot. Never heard of or seen Kostecki or Wlodarczyk but either would probably KO him.

Money and ego. I enjoy watching him get knocked out. Payback for when he was in his prime and overflowing with himself and giving corny rap concerts with his walkouts.

Got to admit I like him more now that's been humbled some. I'll be rooting for him this time.

The prime Roy Jones deserved to be overflowing with himself. At his peak he was one of the most amazing fighters who ever lived

from what I've read (reliable or not, I let you decide), he doesn,t have money problem and matter of fact, did manage his money very smartly over the years. It's all about a guy who was on the top of the top of the pyramid and who refuses to admit that he's not the one he once was. When it's linked to the only thing you've ever know how to do in life, it's very difficult to acceptfor some. Seems to be Roy's problem.
