Hes not dealing with it at all actually. It wouldnt be a bad idea for him to seek out some kind of counciling. His family is too close to the situation to help him through the retirement process and coming to terms with himself as a person. Its also very possible that subconsciously he thinks he deserves to get beaten up if he cant win.

Very interesting analysis. I wish RJJ had retired after he beat Ruiz.

it is odd how Jones wants to fight more risky fights now that he is old, then when he was prime. he was trying to protect his record when he was younger.

I am starting to think...Roy likes to be KTFO. He wants 3 more KTFO experiences it seems.



Damn.

Please get the Calzaghe nuts of your eyes. AT the time of the fight RJJ was already done. He had three lost and two brutal KO prior. If anyone took his soul it was Tarver.

Yeah but Jones never spent 4 years in prison, and had a number of costly divorces and had a notorious partying lifestyle.

Jones just seemed like a fairly steady kind of individual,who as well as boxing has had a steady income from HBO for over a decade.

I dunno maybe he did have a lot of bad investments, but still I just cant imagine him being broke. I literally think he just likes fighting

His last performance was horrible I mean really horrible and he arguably lost, RJJ is the very definition of being shot
