An Open Letter To The Great Roy Jones Jr.

Dear Roy Jones Jr.,

As the President and CEO of the Roy Jones Jr. Nut Hugger Inc. Corporation, I respectfully beg of you to please, once and for all, hang the gloves up for good.

You have nothing else to prove, sir. In your prime, you had destroyed and humiliated the best out there. You owned 160, 168, 175 and even made history by getting yourself a heavyweight title, as well.

You beat the best of your generation (James Toney, Bernard Hopkins, etc.) with ease. You played basketball games hours before stepping into the ring, you knocked out your opponents while first putting your hands behind your back (as seen in the autograph photo of this article in the Glen Kelly fight).

In your prime you had unmatched, godly speed in your legs, hands and reflexes that had you looking like Neo from "The Matrix" compared to your opponents. You were also the only boxer that was so great, you were asked to be in "The Matrix" sequel.

Throwing six, seven, eight combo punches at your opponents, you made it look like a video game. But you had the pimped out controller and all the cheat codes enabled.

You owned Vinny Pazienza and made compu box history by never getting touched in an entire round against him.

Many nut-huggers of your long-time rival Bernard Hopkins may feel as if he is a greater fighter and has a greater legacy. But if they prefer a ridiculously boring fighter who does nothing for the first half of his fights, then hugs, holds, head butts, punches testicles, turns his back, fights fighters of 2 to 3 weight classes lower and bores them to a dreadful decision, that is their prerogative.

Your fighting style was beautiful to watch—god-like speed, power and reflexes. It is without question that your prime would sadly end sooner than that of someone as boring as Bernard Hopkins. With his fighting style he can probably fight on for another five years or so. For even old men can hug, head butt, punch testicles, turn their back to their opponents and not do anything for the first half of their fights, throwing single and, at most, double digits punches per round.

Even well past your prime, you had Hopkins, Toney, Ruiz all begging you for a rematch—not to mention MMA greats such as Anderson Silva begging for a chance to fight you.

We here at Roy Jones Jr. Nut Hugger Inc. Corporation obviously love you and care for your well being and health. You are still healthy, good looking and in great shape. You have more money than you can spend in many lifetimes. You were one of the best, if not the best, HBO commentator that boxing ever had and we would love to see you take that career path from this point on.

We thank you for all of the great times, the great memories, the inspiration that you provided for us all and wish you only the best with the rest of your life and career and fully support you.

Our only request is to be able to take a photograph with you so please inform us on how we can obtain that request.

Sincerely with the utmost respect and admiration,

KING J

CEO and President of Roy Jones Jr. Nut Hugger Inc. Corporation
