According to reports in the Russian media, Roy Jones Jr. is calling it quits. If true, Jones will leave the sport with a record of 62-9. In his last fight, in Moscow, he suffered a 4th round knockout at the hands of Enzo Maccarinelli.
Jones, who celebrated his 47th birthday on January 19, won titles in four weight classes -- middleweight to heavyweight. In his heyday as a middleweight, he was widely considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
USA Today boxing writer Dan Rafael speculates that Jones -- who holds dual citizenship in the United States and Russia -- will have a farewell fight in his hometown of Pensacola, Florida in the late spring or early summer. There is no mention of retirement on Jones' official web site which is primarily a link to over-priced "collectibles."
