Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr: “I’ve Had a Wonderful Career”

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

Thanks for the memories roy, truly one of the greatest to ever lace them up.

Next, hopefully, bernard will do the same. But something tells me the stubborn old man just isn't quite finished yet.

Would be nice though for them to go out at the same time.

He wont sell another ticket. This jig is up!

Farewell rjj. I feel privileged to have witnessed one of the best in the bizzness ever.

Roy is my favorite fighter..Pea made me a fan..but Roy made me love the sport..the most talented to ever lace em up...

He could have said that after he won the heavyweight championship and I for one would have believed him and gave him credit for it. He helped transcend casual fans to hardcore fans that flock the forums and subscribe to Ring ****zine. You an ATG Roy, enjoy the rest of life.


P.S. You made alot of sense when you would be a commentator on HBO, hope you come back for that.

I agree..

Damn Roy was the man in his time, I laugh b/c Floyd wishes he possed the talent Roy had. Roy was the fastest I boxer ever. Four hooks at 1 time.

dude dont bring Floyd into everything..this is about Roy..Floyd is probably the closest to Roys style out of any other fighter right now..but Roy is one of a kind and no other P4P ranked fighter has ever come close to his talent!

p4p the best I've ever seen.....thanks for ALL those great memories my dude!!.....I'm from Philly but I always loved to hear "Pensacola in the Hooouuuusssee" ......much love Roy!!

lol..always cracked me up.."Pensacola, we talk tonight!"

Great career!

What fighters have to understand is that how you end your career is far more important than how you start it. Going out on a loss like De La Hoya and Roy Jones is the wrong way to end a career. Going out the way Joe Calzhage did is the RIGHT WAY. The only fight Roy has looked good in recently is against a washed up Jeff lacy. I think B-Hop should fight one more fight against a lesser opponent, knock him out and leave the sport on a high note. What you do last is what people remember you for the most.

Had Roy retired after Ruiz he'd be an ATG for sure. He didn't seem to know who to read his body from the inside.

He's still an ATG.

You're right.... when I think of Ali... I think


What a bum who lost at the end of his career.

Roy is a ATG but now its time hang em up.

[SkillspayBills]

It's time Roy. You had a wonderful career, in your prime you were the greatest to ever do this. But it's over now, it's time to hang them up.

[Merashjai07]

Roy is definitely an ATG. Those losses don't mean a damn thing.
