    I agree with this statement totally. Roy lost, he is done, time to move on.

    I disagree, Jones looked great against Jeff Left Hook Lacy. He got a raw deal against Green.

    Nostalgia is a *****, hard to give up a hero.

    It's like when they took arrested development off the air. I couldn't believe it. No way.

    I don't get how ppl claim this was a blatant rabbit punch...Danny Green was standing directly in front of Roy Jones

    Disagree? So what are you saying? Jones didn't turn his head? He did, Green threw a punch aimed at the face, it landed on the side/back of the head because of this. Comprende?

    Roy used to turn his head like that all the time in his prime and effectively dodge the punch, he isn't fast enough to do it anymore. It wasn't Green's fault, legit punch i thought.

    Look at all those votes that agree that Jones wasn't knocked out and it should be a No Contest.

    Jones has a lot of delusional fans then.

    A rabbit punch is aimed directly at the back of the head, intentionally.

    Jones and Green were facing each other when Green threw the shot, and Jones turned away from it, showing a lack of good technique, and the fact that his reflexes are now shot to **** - and suffered the consequences.

    Jones may have looked OK against Lacy. But as said, Lacy is shot to ****.

    Green is a straight forward, come ahead guy with heavy hands that really wanted to win. Terrible, terrible decision to fight him if Jones thought it was going to be an easy fight.

    The punch hit Roy on the left ear. If he hadn't turned his head it would have hit him flush on the face.

    Green was not wearing illegal wraps.

    Roy needs to retire instead of allowing his ego and greed result in him ending up like Ali or worse.

    He had nothing to say when the ref stopped the fight or in the post-fight interviews, in fact, he only started these false allegations once he was back on American soil.

    It's sad to see someone like him reduced to this, the lowest form of trashtalk.

    It was a **** punch, but Jones shouldn't be complaining, he needs to realize he ain't got it anymore !!

    He ain't had it for about 7 years
