Former heavyweight champ Roy Jones Jr. is the latest boxer to take a pounding from the IRS. After it was recently revealed that Floyd Mayweather Jr. was hit with a past due tax bill of nearly $3.4 million, former four division champion Roy Jones Jr. has been hit with an even bigger bill for $3.5 million dollars. Robert Snell of The Detroit News reports that the IRS filed a $629,085 lien against Jones on March 21 with the Santa Rosa County Clerk in Florida. Those taxes are owed from 2009, but there is also another lien, which was filed on February 11, 2008 for $2,946,650 in Santa Rosa County. That bill is for Jones' earnings in 2003 and 2004. Jones returns on May 22 in Moscow against dangerous cruiserweight Denis Lebedev.

I heard that he was having some problems prior to the B-Hop fight. Sad thing is even after he gets slaughtered by Lebedev he's going to have to keep fighting.

Remember the ass whoopin from Glen Johnson I got? Got with a right hand then I dropped Y'ALL MUSTA FORGOT!
Even though he doesn't speak well, Roy is an educated guy, he only has himself to blame for this.

I dont think he does a bad job on HBO but his fighting career has been over for a while. he is going to get KOed and its a shame.
