He did it again.  Roy Jones Jr. can still dazzle the crowd with his in-ring antics and smooth moves.  For most knowledgeable boxing fans, it shouldn’t come to a surprise that Jones easily won his fight over Tito Trinidad last Saturday.  Unfortunately, he did it against a fighter who fought two weight classes above his normal weight classification and lacks any real power of a true light heavyweight, not to mention the fact that Trinidad is a shadow of his former self.

Ahh…Roy Jones Jr. in his Prime. Unstoppable!

Don’t take me wrong, Jones is arguably the best pound for pound fighter to enter a boxing ring.  But at 39 years of age, he’s well past his prime and hasn’t looked his best the past 8 years.  Like it or not, he’s no longer a light heavyweight contender.  As a long-time fan of Jones, it pains me to admit this reality.

A possible fight against Joe Calzaghe, the uber-bad ass of the middleweight division, will obviously mean a pretty hefty payout for both fighters.  But if this fight ever happens, Jones may be the one looking like a dancing fool in the end.  

For Roy’s sake, I hope this fight never happens.
