    Roy is a tragedy in waiting and he knows it.

    He should fight people his own age only.

    I'm fine with that. If he wants to fight, the let him. But he should stick to certain opposition.

    Former champ Saoul Mamby fought til he was 52 and he had one more fight at 60.
    Safe to say that we will be seeing a lot more from Roy.

    Fighting is his life, let the man fight. I agree he should have fair matchmaking. If he is attempting to fight the best then someone needs to seriously talk to him about the consequences.

    i cant lie, I'd watch it. Probably even throw 10 bucks at it for an online PPV.

    It couldn't be any worse than Stiverne - Wilder 2.

    He could probably still get a decent payday if he went to Japan and fought Kyotaro Fujimoto.

    He should either fight the best or retire. There are no "age divisions" in boxing. Well, at least at the moment. :)

    Sometimes the fights between older legends that are knocking on retirement are better than those of prime fighters. I remember Couture / Nogueira in MMA was a masterpiece of a fight, and both those guys were waaaay out of their prime.

    For guys like him there should be a 'masters series" like they have in tennis.
    He hadn't beaten anyone of note for many years now, and the only decent win was a gift.
    Better he mixes it up with other veterans because I believe there can be much more money in something like that.
