    Don't affect a fighters legacy

    One name Roy Jones,

    If he retired after tarver 1 the guy would arguably be in most people top 10-15 all time p40 lists, now the poor sod would be lucky to crack the top 50(nothing to be ashamed about if course)

    Give it up man

    Roy will be well inside the top 50 on most historians' lists.

    People remember you in your prime when it comes to history.

    Roy in his prime? You couldn't name me a fighter that'd beat him.

    His losses since Calzaghe (if not Tarver II) do as little to damage his legacy as his wins since then do to enhance it.
