Perhaps he just wants to go out with a win? Fighting at home too.

Please make this the last one Roy. Please.
Didn't he beat some spectator in his last fight?
Do you think Roy would want to be remembered as having beaten a spectator in his last fight?

Who knows? At this point I suspect he'll fight a paraplegic if the money is right

Is this the Jr Welter Rodney Moore from the 90's? If so, those worrying about Roy need to think about him.

I think it's a different Rodney Moore, but strangely his nickname is also "Rocking" Rodney Moore :lol:

Yes that's right...there are two Rockin' Rodney Moore's.

“I’m always excited to be fighting in front of my hometown fans who have shown me so much support during my career and I am looking forward to giving them an action packed fight” said Jones, Jr.

McGee Wright, Jones’ long time manager said “He wants to end his career in Pensacola at some point, I’m not saying this is his last fight but he started here and he wants to end it here.”

By action packed fight he means he wants to give his fans an exhibition against a guy that's not good enough to do much of anything to stop him. If it's "action packed" Jones likely ain't gonna be able to take that kinda fight for too long.

Does he though?

Self delusion is a trait common to all humans, and it seems to have an unfavourably large bias within those who are former elite sportsmen.
Is there a boxer on the planet that doesn't know being punched in the head is bad for them?
I know smoking is bad for me, but doesn't stop me deluding myself that I'll escape the negative effects of it.

No-One can escape the horrible health debilitative effects of cigarrette smoking. Especially the modern chemically ladened cigarrettes of these days. Long gone are the days when they were merely tobacco and nicotine. They contain over 100 deadly man-made chemicals.
Tobacco was initially originally only supposed to be used in its original pipe tobacco format,and puffed through a corn-cob pipe,never inhaled. The wealthy white government had it eventually modified into the raspy nasty cig-tobacco format,thus encouraging inhaling,worsened addictions to the added nicotine,and now all those horrendously body damaging man-made chemicals.

As far as Roy Jones Jr, I'd love to see him box against Charlie Zelenoff and shut that L.A Bullshitter bum up once and for all.
Roy May only be a low c grade boxer anymore,but against Charlie Z,he could feel young again and have fun in there clowning the crap out of cz and then knock that big-mouth bum right through the ropes and make everyone cheer really loud,including myself. He could go out on a high-note,and that would be gloriously gratifying for many to watch.
