Roy Jones Jr is fighting again.... IN MAY

The great RJ is back!

Seriously imagine if he quit after Ruiz fight. What a different legacy he'd have now. Mythological.

 

Is a fighter really an ATG if he starts to chalk up bad fights or loses in his late career. ?

It makes the phase ATG a complete joke

 

Are you serious with this logic? So...if SRR were alive today, he would need to still at 97 be kicking ass for you to consider his ATG credentials valid?

 

I remember him talking to some British school kids way back when he was prime...." if I lose once, its bad, twice??no no" shaking his finger as though it wont happen or he'd retire

 

He needs the money hbo is done with boxing and i dont think anyone has picked him up to call fights which is a shame because he was one of the best at it.

 

He doesnt have any sponsors?

 

No he should be calling fights for dazn or espn or somebody.

 

He has to be smart now. He has lost in big ways. That Macarinelli fight was devastating. He went down hard. You retire after that.

 

WAR ROY!!!

 

You mean Traver

 

Its getting to the point where tough guys could get in and hurt him

 

No Calzaghe. He was clowned at his own game

 

Exactly. And he managed to pi** half of his legacy away by fighting well beyond his due date. Now people won't remember his memorable wars in his prime but the will remember him getting knocked out like a cheap journeyman in places like Australia or Russia.

 

Roy made more than enough to retire comfortably but kept investing in businesses that went under. Had he just put the money away n the bank he'd still be freaking rich. Think his career earning was $40 mill US.

 

I read somewhere he threw millions into building a hip hop record label that went under back in the 90s. He also had tons of tax debt in the late 2000s which speaks of very low financial IQ. You pay the taxman first, then anyone else. And yourself last.
