    If you told me back when he was beating guys like Woods and Ruiz towards the end of his brilliant run that the next twenty years would have brought what it did, I'd say you're crazy.

    Tommy Fury could find himself in a big fight at the expense of his brother's name, but someone will stop him there...

    Even if it doesn't happen, still sad to see Roy descend to these levels. He is a total legend and was a phenom in his prime. As someone upthread said, it's crazy to think what he's ended up doing these past twenty years. If Fury is even considering this fight it shows his level of ambition and worth as a 'fighter.'

    Don´t know what the audience is supposed to be for this one. Fighting someone quite small for you and more than twice your age ain´t funny at all.

    Jones is going to get that Glass Jaw shattered again.

    Jones should fight other seniors like Vitor Belfort and Anderson Silva, although I think he gets his glass jaw shattered in those matchups as well.

    Considering KSI and Jake Paul make it a competitive fight, I'd say RJJ has a decent chance.

    If RJJ retired after Ruiz fight there would've been an argument for him being top 10 ATG why in the world has he tarnished his legacy like this.......i think hes possibly the P4P now for being a former great fighter whos messed up his legacy the worst.

    2023 RJJ can't even beat Anthony Pettis who is washed up himself and not even a boxer.

    Roy Jones never had the fundamental skills to be fighting 15 years ago, let alone now.
    When he was young he was just speed and reflexes. As a 50 year old man with old man legs, and a fragile jaw, any reasonably athletic young man could just plow right through him. This Fury kid should be able to win on roid rage alone.

    Shame on anyone involved in making a fight like this happen.
