Roy Jones contemplating retirement

[blegit]

I can only imagine how difficult it is for a fighter of that caliber to let go of what they do best. As a fan it is very difficult to let Roy go. He was such a special talent. So I can only imagine the struggle it must be to finally walk away forever. But this is not golf and it is vital that fighters go when it is time and delay in no lengthy kind of way. Roy's departure is long overdue and I hope he remains healthy in retirement.

Well if I was him I'd look at a couple old timers that stayed in the game too long and if I was a young boxer I'd use RJJ as an example to stop when you're at the top...although in some cases it cause people to question you Mr. Lennox Lewis for example, although he retired with dignity he also ran away from a very dangerous rematch, smart yet cowardly





but of course at this point in time Roy should just retire MAYBE have a homecoming fight and go out on a win but he should retire

Some guys just love the limelight, and i guess Roy is one of them. These are the guys who seem to find it hardest to quit.

you are a prick my friend! maybe Lennox just relised he couldnt fight like he used to and didnt want to loose to a fighter who he would of smashed with ease in his prime!

He was on his way to beating Klit anyway, as the last two rounds of the fight would tell you!

i actually thought Vitali was coming on and turning the tide, and Lennox although a very good fighter in his prime, he was also smashed with ease in his prime by lesser smaller opponents

Doesn't matter, the FANS wanted a rematch, usually the only people opposed to it are the die hard Lennox Lewis fans and hell even a select few of them thought a "well prepared" Lennox Lewis would have beaten Vitali in a rematch anyway. That rematch not happening was just 1 thing that hurt boxing. But I suppose this forum isn't the place to debate that
