Roy Jones Jnr is ruining his Legacy

I look forward to the day Pacquiao and Mayweather are doing the same. They should fight each other in their 50's :deal

 

Did Ray Robinson tarnish his legacy by fighting Joey Archer?

No

It may kinda feel that way now, but years from now, people won't think of it as anything more than a legend fighting longer than he should have.

Ali/Leonard/Robinson/Roy/Toney/etc all fit into this category. Means very very little, if anything at all.

It's part of the sport. Not everyone will retire in the perfect time like Lennox Lewis did.

 

that was a good left hook to side of the jaw

 

Me too lmfao

After all the cherry picking Roy jones did it's nice to see him get the **** kicked out of him now

Can't be touched? Lmfao lebedev have him the touch of death

 

Athletes today care more about money than legacy.

 

Damage is already done

 

Had no clue he fought. Did he win?

 

Jacking up his win total against guys posing no threat? That is neither good nor bad for his legacy, really.

If he kept taking on the likes of Lebedev and stupidly chasing real world titles and constantly getting himself KTFO, he would be ruining it.

He can style on Courtney Fry types all he wants AFAIK. More power to him reliving his glory days of dominance (if he is able to make himself blissfully unaware of how terrible his opponents are now) and pocketing a bit of extra walking-around money on top of his commentating salary and whatever residuals he gets from Can't Be Touched. :conf

 

roy jones is back baby!

 

:good

 

I'll be honest... Part of me really wanted to see Jones/Collins when it was being talked about recently.

 

Oh yeah!

Then, making things even more confusing, you had this incident:
