Roy Jones Jr finally retires

[Hulk]

Just saw this this morning. I was happy to read the news.

Great news and a long time coming. Wish the best for him and like to see him concentrate efforts Stateside with a few fighters. Still don't get the whole Russian citizenship thing.

[Kirkland Laing]

I think the Russian citizenship was more part of a business venture than anything else. The guy promoting his fights was using him as a front man for a bunch of gyms/fitness centres/boxing gyms. Maybe after that last sparkage he doesn't have enough cachet over there to have any commercial value. Somehow I can't see him learning Russian and living over there now.

Thank Jeebus he's retired though.

Shows you how far Roy Jones has fallen that Kevin Mitchell retiring is also mentioned in his thread.

[powerpuncher]

Why did you add Kevin Mitchell retiring in this thread? Jones deserves a thread of his own.

[Primo Carnera]

Why did you add Kevin Mitchell retiring in this thread? Jones deserves a thread of his own.

Yeah, he does to be fair, but so does Kevin Mitchell imo.

[Fenster]

I added it because there's just as many posts in the thread about Mitchell.

I can remove Mitchell if it's a problem
