It's been a great ride, but the man is truly shot. There is no reason for his career to continue at this point, considering how much his chin has declined. He's only risking permanent damage. He has achieved a lot and will go down as one of the most talented ever, but I hope that was the last we see of him at world level.
Roy should have hung em up after the first Tarver fight. Some people are delusional. Look at the type of fighters he has beaten since!
WTF??? I thought this was a joke too untill I just checked ESB's home page. Damn, 1 round. I don't even know why Bernard wanted to fight him. He even said after Jones got battered by Calzaghe that there would be no point in facing him. I'm surprised they made the fight in the first place.
Definetely needs to give it up, sad way to leave the sport though. A really sad fight to watch i thought....even sader the commentators going on about how much of a legend green now is after beating a 40 year old RJJ.
Yeah, time to settle down in Pensacola, keep rebuilding the relationship with his dad, and focus on the sons and roosters. Someone should be taking the gloves away from Jeff Lacy today too. If he couldn't compete with this version of Roy, he should never get in the ring again.
I actually feel really bad for Hopkins. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE TUNE UPS BEFORE MEGA BOUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smoke
Why ? we're spared two old men pretending like it means something. We have peterson v bradley coming up two young hungry guys fighting for a title thats the kind of fight we should care about , not two pensioners looking for another payday! Roy has been shot to shite since Johnson nearly killed him yet hes still getting talked about AAAAARRRRGGGHHH !!!
This guy acting like he beat a prime ROY JONES. **** even Williams didn't carry on like that when he knocked out TYSON.
