Roy Jones … who???

Roy jones was back in the ring last night (Friday March 6th) fighting Willie Williams. In a second round TKO. Williams didn’t look like much competition. Jones beat him up real good!!! The fight took place at the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center in Concord, North Carolina. Jones 46 years of age has won his last six fights and the last three by knockout.

Roy Jones who was fighter of the year in Ring Magazine in 2003, 2002, 1999, 1998, 1996 and 1995. He has been awarded 6 fighter of the year awards, the only fighter to receive more awards in this category is Floyd Mayweather jr. It has been a decade since Roy Jones was somebody in the squared circle.

Congratulations to you Roy Jones, but I enjoy listening to you commentate on HBO more than I enjoy watching you beat up on fighters who have no business being in the ring with you.

Fighters and professional sportsman often don’t know when to call it quits. They go to far, wanting to succeed and be the person they once were. Problem is they aren’t and never will be again. But I would say retire, let us remember you in greatness not in your past greatness. I want to remember Roy Jones as the great 4 division champion, and not the has been fighting in Concord, North Carolina on ESPN 2.

Roy Jones is one of the greatest fighters in all time, and will definitely be inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame…. And that day can’t come to soon…..
