    RJJ probably feels he has something to prove, that he isn't chinny.

    It's pretty obvious, trying to make a dime.

    The guy can't pay the bills.

    Some of these boxers buy a huge house, expensive sports cars, and then realise they don't have the money to maintain these things. That's why Holyfield is still fighting at age 49.

    Jones has lost it. The man needs an intervention.

    lebedev knocks jones out, simple. Jones needs to retire and stick to commentating, thats what we all say for years now.

    I think he believes he still win a title at cruiser where the guys are slower.. I hope he doesnt get seriously hurt. His ego just won't let him walk away

    This is an insane fight for Jones. Lebedev is a tough full sized cruiserweight who can punch. Jones is going to get ko'ed and brutally. He's getting 500,000 for this fight but there has to be a fight out there where he can make that without the same risk factor involved.

    I would think Jones might be able to make similar money and not get killed by fighting some old heavyweight like Holyfield or Toney or maybe a smaller guy like Pavlik or Shumenov instead of a big punching cruiserweight. This just seems like a bad situation for Roy.

    RJJ in 2010: "I should think of my health, but the thing is, I need to keep fighting," Jones said. "Look at Joe Calzaghe -- he's using cocaine now that he's not fighting anymore. We need something to do -- we need to box. As long as I can box I'm going to do it. It's not like I can't keep up anymore. It's not like you can't be knocked down and get back up again."

    and the rest of the article

    Lebedev is going to be motivated in Russia, and after Germany. Trouble for Roy. Its like Roy got his nerve up after losing his speed an reflexes.
