Roy Jones

Seems he hasn't retired, where do sky get their information from???

Really bad news, he is going to get seriously hurt...

No win situation, only way he retires is if he gets badly hurt, if he wins he carries on and gets badly hurt later down the line...

Yeah I read that he was still lining up fights from people who follow him on twitter. He hasnt retired at all going off what they have been reporting.

Forget all this money and stuff around him. It dont change a thing

He dont even have a choice

Roy was born with a killer instinct you cant turn off and on like a radio

He has to be in the middle of the action because he is a warrior

Without some challenge, without some war to fight...then the warrior may as well be dead

Maybe you dont know, what im talking about now, but you will when its over...believe me

But in fairness, Steffan, let's just say that Roy postpones. Someone else steps in and whups this chump, then where does that leave Roy?....

On a more serious note, I did say the other day that it looked as if Sky had jumped the gun, though I wished they hadn't. Jones' career is starting to look like one of the most bizzare of the modern era; the way he talked in interviews in his pomp, you'd think he'd have been the most likely candidate of the lot to calculate and time his retirement to perfection.

Rumours of his financial difficulties still abound, as do the voices which state that these are just rumours and nothing more, but I really do struggle to see what other reason could account for the sheer torment which has been Roy's career in the past few years.

its a shame he is a very good TV man. I love listening to Roy commenting on fights. He needs to give it up or his job with HBO is gone. No one wants to listen to someone stuttering and slurring their speech when they pay good money to watch a fight.

You can understand Roy speak? He sounds like my father in law after a few drinks (the only time I can tolerate him btw).

It could just be paranoia, Kev and Az, but I've actually found myself wondering once or twice in the past couple of years if Roy is already starting to sound a little 'off colour' in certain interviews.

I always found Jones hard to understand. Hes not to bad when hes relaxed but when hes exciteable or on one of his self glorifying rants he speaks a mile a minuteand who knows what hes saying?

He did the Donaire v Narvaez fight for HBO and I thought he was slurring his speech a bit then. HBO might not mind Larry Merchant still has a job.

Good call

By the way speaking of Rocky 4. Check this picture out where Sylvester Stallone explains about the time he had a quick glimpse of Dolph Lundgren in the mens shower room on set one day:

Spoiler:

roy jones story is becoming one of the saddest in modern day boxing

Sad for Roy but only has himself to blame if he seriously hurts himself.

i heard him on TV a while back and definitely thought he slurred his words beyond his southern twang

Well, if you've got the desire and the will to win then more power to him.

Hope he doesn't get hurt, but he knows what he's doing.
