People please don’t take the “in his prime” comment to mean that I had a particular time line of Jones, Jr.’s career that I was discussing. The point of the column (it’s not an article) is to focus on Boxing losing it’s place in my heart. Take it easy folks.

yeah…didn’t beat Roy in his prime. And even if that was the case, it was Antonio Tarver who did it first. Why were you allowed to write an article????

Correction – Roy Jones Jr. was past his prime when he fought Glen Johnson. This was already after he dropped down from Heavyweight back to Light Heavyweight to face Antonio Tarver. Secondly, boxing isn’t running out of any time, boxing is violent art that will never die. Boxing doesn’t need to be saved, just watched. The major reason the UFC is such a powerhouse is because of its promotion and advertisement, the sport itself is level B material to entertain the low attention span of sporting individuals. Take a look of contrast from the attendance of audience in a boxing match and an UFC event, you’ll surely see a difference. Boxing is a hybrid sport, but in terms of perspective and outlook. Boxing will rise around again like how it always does.
