maybe because he looks like superman hitting the double end bag and sparring u.p.s drivers in his gym, he thinks he still can contend vs world champions.
I am by no means an expert on what Roy does in camp, but just from some of the things Ive seen, his camps looking amazingly underwelming, his whole team seemed fairly amaturish (not as in amature boxing, but just... not top tier types you would expect a roy jones to have) and his sparring seemed fairly weak. I think a lot of Roys delusions come from the people around him, his camps, but overall, at the end of the day the blame falls on him.
I think what happens with fighters are when they are prime and doing well they say they will retire young. Then they have a loss or two and see how their legacy might be hurt after all that work, so they keep fighting to build it back and get more losses and hurt their legacy more.
Its always the leeches that force the boxers to hang around too long ..Guess he must of not heard of Jones having problems with balance or his losses by KO .
