Emotional Roy Jones Interview...

Definitely end of an era. Sad to see him like this but he give it all he could for as long as he could. Legend in the ring.

 

I dread to think where you must place the likes of Calzaghe, Tarver and Johnson then, in terms of ATG status.

 

:-((

 

Jones knocks Calzaghe out prime for prime. Calzaghe knows it as well as anyone. Even the likes of Benn knew how damn good Jones was. Jones should of retired imo after the Tarver win but he's one person that can't leave things be and wanted to show everyone he could beat Tarver outright and well....it all was downhill from there.

 

Absolutely nowhere. I like Calzaghe but there is no argument for him as an ATG.

That's got **** all to do with my opinion of Jones, though.

 

Watching that was really sad. My all time favourite fighter he will always be a legend to me, no one achieved what he did with so much excitement.

 

You seem to have a personal problem with him. Just as people say Nard's and Joe's competion was weak at 160 and 168, so was Jones' at 175. He beat who was out there though (besides Dariusz but that's a long winded story) and looked damn good doing it.

 

I have a problem with his being rated an all time great based on his achievements and dubious H2H comparisons. He's a very good fighter, with exceptional physical talents - but he's not done enough to really be a legend.

 

How ironic that the man who seemed so switched on ends up with (as Mayweather put it) boxing retiring him rather than him retiring from boxing.

Particularly after G man I really thought he'd be one to quit while he was ahead.

Sad really, what an addictive drug.

 

He's about to cry at 2.21 I think. So sad man, Jones would have made Green look like a joke had he been even 30% of his old self. What a great fighter, and I hope he gets a career in commentating on HBO. He was so good.

 

That fight did NOTHING to hurt Roys legacy, not for me anyway. Always be a legend to me.

**** the haters.

 

Worst thing is, he is December on boxing calender, so every day of this month I'm reminded, Roy Jones Jr, end of an era, I LOVE YOU ROY JONES!!!!!!!

 

Some fighters are once in a generation or lifetime. RJJ is just once.

 

I really, really like Roy. Seems like such a decent, nice guy.

His mum seemed really sweet too.

It's sad but I don't feel too heartbroken for him, he's had an amazing career, he's rich as **** and, if he can slow his speech pattern down a little, he is an intelligent and knowledgeable man, who would be a benefit to commentating or other in front of the camera work.

Can anyone tell me if Roy ever fought in England?
