    Just like Vitali was banned from the Olympics his career should be void.

    I and many others will now remember him as the man that fell face first on to the canvas after recieving a mauling by a equally past it post roided Enzo.

    He'll remain as the least beatable prime fighter I've seen for me.

    He'll be remembered for both. It's hard to NOT remember all these devastating KO losses as they stick out like many sore thumbs.

    Otherworldly body movement, incredible speed, power in both hands. Those wins against Hopkins & Toney solidified as a great considering they weren't t even close affairs.

    Probably the closest to Sugar Ray Robinson I've seen. :good

    Holyfield has never been brutally KOed like Jones has and multiple times. Holyfield also fought everyone available to him. Jones was too reluctant to do such. Don't EVER compare a warrior like Holyfield to that Glass Jawed disgrace Roy Jones.

    Why are Americans so keen to overlook Roid Jones Jr? He has a long list of fighters he avoided.

    The problem with Roy is that he did not only have "some" losses towards the end of his career, but that he has been basically ruining his career at least for a the decade or more. He should not have returned from heavyweight to LHW and once he lost to Tarver and Johnson he should have just retired. Period.

    You block that amount of maulings out of the memory

    He's tarnished his own legacy.

    One positive is, Roy got up speaking Russian.

    Roy Jones is undoubtedly damaging his legacy here.

    He should have retired years and years ago now.

    Its embarrassing to watch.
