Roy Jones contemplating retirement

[Master]

Contemplating ?

Pride can tax a man heavily and long lasting .Head up Roy...Walk away !

So true.

He should retire now, legends live on way after there fighting days.

I wish Jones had retired after the Tarver KO, i think pride and ego got in the way of sound thinking. He looked at Hopkins who is older and still fighting well and he really believed he could do the same, the difference being Hopkins remained at 160lb for his entire career until recently when he has been chasing the big bucks. The point is Hopkins has never altered his body as much as Jones did in going up to fight Ruiz. Nobody has knocked out Hopkins either like Jones was against Tarver, he should retire. Losing to Green in 2 mins is unbelievable, Jones looked well out of place against Green who simply looked a beast against him. To hear that Hopkins still wants Roy Jones jr is a sad reflection on the sport of boxing when we have a super year coming up in 2010.

Yeah, the fact that he relied on reflexes more than sound technique exacerbated the damage done by the weight changes. Hopkins' style has translated into an older fighters career much more effectively.

I also can understand him thinking that he shouldn't go out after being caught with a single shot (Tarver), but after the Johnson fight I really thought he'd retire.

I hope he retires now. I really enjoyed his time as a commentator on HBO. I'd be nice if he kept the ability to do that.

Guess Roy losing to Green means there will be no Hopkins rematch, after all this is boxing and that may still be his last big money fight.
Hope the commission refuses to oblige.
