Roy Jones Jr vs Danny Santiago set for Oct 7th

Jones should have his license revoked.The man will be punchy in five years.

5 years, try 3

Has anyone figured out if Roy's broke? Or does he just need the spotlight hat badly?

Of course the most charitable thought is to take Roy at his word. Roy LOVES the sport, thinks of himself as a fighter and doesn't want to think of himself otherwise.

I'll be nice and go with that.

Ali,

A CATCHWEIGHT???? Aren't you horrified?

If Roy and Evander insist on sticking around why not face each other ?

I don't need to see Roy carried out under an oxygen mask.

No, I just feel sorry for Roy, it's sad to watch a faded star being unable to retire.

With the caveat the loser must burn his license in the center of the ring after the fight.

The sad thing is the loser would still want to continue boxing

But if we take him at his word, that he loves it that much? I'm actually OK with that as long as he fights journeymen.

As long as people continue to shell out their dough for these two side shows,promoters will continue to force this scat upon us.

Roy in the article says no, just that this is all he knows and is bored

Quote :

"What are you gonna do? You gonna box or sit around? I've been sitting around and I wasn't enjoying it," Jones told ESPN.com on Tuesday night. "This is still what I want to do. Got nothing else to do but get in trouble or get fat, so what I got to stop for? I'll fight and I'll fight to win."
.......

"Money ain't always the issue," said Jones, despite his own financial problems. "That's not what drives me. I know I'm not making much money for this fight. But I love doing it and I still want to see if I still got it, which I think I do."

He even acknowledges he didnt make any $ for the Hopkins fight

remmeber when Roy promised us this wouldnt happen

sounds to me like he does

Have any of the high profile boxers from the 90's saved any of their money ?

Lennox

Yes, Lennox Lewis is a winner in more ways than one. Meanwhile the prima donnas like Jones are all broke.

Tito, DLH, and more I'm sure

We only hear about the bad

I was alwas a RJJ fan and I hate to see this. The only fight I want him in is against Anderson Silva in a boxing match.

Roy dressed like a pirate again for the press conference. I think he has pugilistic dementia.

did he really don the Captain Hook suit again?

Roy is gonna run out of shields to go out on soon. He should stick to mediocre opponents and stay far away from any top fighter.

yes he did. check out fightnews

I have a funny feeling that Jones will become a Shumenov victim.

I have always been a big RJJ fan but he needs to give it up already. He has to many yes men telling him he's still the man.
