46-year-old Roy Jones Jr still has that thunderous knockout power

JOE

At 46-years-young Roy Jones Jr is still dusting fools for fun.

Amazingly, former multi-division titleholder Jones Jr is still fighting and still knocking dummies out. The American pugilist registered a sixth-round knockout against Eric Watkins (12-10-2, 5 KOs) on Sunday, laying his opponent out with a stiff left hook.

While Jones controlled the fight and must be commended for getting the finish, his opponent was of a very poor standard.

The sad side of this story is that although he has absolutely nothing left to prove, he still has two more fights lined up with the promotion.
