Roy Jones bleacher article

menoscemo

Really good, but sad Article here on RJJ and his background and motivation for fighting. It was written just before the Macarinelli fight.

Warning: it's a very long one but well worth a read.

Thanks for that, brilliant read, even though I'd already heard all the stories of the awful cruelty he went through as a child.

I still wish he'd bloody retire though.

At least he seems to be in a good place in that he is able to talk about it. (Apart from his self destructive desire to keep boxing that is!)

Wow that is heart wrenching.

He's fighting for his dad's respect which means he'll never stop.

Great read thanks- Roy Jones in he's prime was something else.
Thoughts & history about he's Dad are rough reading
