I mean he's lost his last 3 fights. It's the danger that he fucks up his gig with HBO through this that worries me.
IMO the perfect moment for Jones to walk away was after the Lacy fight, he put on a spectacular performance and showed signs of what he once was, and it was in his hometown, perfect ending
The thing that sticks most and shocked me to hear was him saying something along the lines of 'to be my age and to be in the 10th round against a top ranked cruiserweight'...yadda yadda
Nothing like perspective

I've come to two conclusions he's either seriously damaged and delusional or he is mentally %100 sharp as a tack but physically shot and a enormous egomaniac. He still calls a fight and handles a camera with the best. If he goes on I just don't feel for him at all.
He knows what he's doing and he is lying to his legacy and his fans who appear to give a shit about him more then he does himself.
Roy Jones keeps fighting because he's a "big name" and he can still fleece the casual boxing fan out of PPV money for his shitty performances. For Roy, it's all about "dat money", because he hasn't been worth a fuck since he was knocked out by Tarver & Johnson.
BTW, I usually mute the sound when Jones is calling a fight for HBO, I don't wanna hear the garbage that comes out of this clowns mouth.
