In his first column for BBC Sport Online, Nigel looks at recent developments in the fight game, including Roy Jones' latest fight.

People ask me whether I have any regrets about calling it a day nearly five years ago, but I do not have any.

I had a pretty full career and sometimes I just wish I had come along now because I would have been a world champion for much longer.

I made 10 defences of my WBC Super-middleweight title but since I lost my title, it has changed hands ten times, with Sugar Boy Malinga holding it twice!

One of the guys still around from my time in the ring is Roy Jones. I watched him the other day and I was not impressed with him. I was shocked really.

I like fighters that go in and have a go so I was not impressed at all with this Jones fight.

Having said that he is a different class of fighter - he is a very good technical fighter who does not like to get in there and mix it up.

He will not throw a shot unless he knows he can hit you without getting hit.

The top British super-middleweight is Joe Calzaghe who I really like to watch.

I just think with Joe that he needs to fight the best people in the division and he is wasting his talents - he has had just one fight this year but he should be fighting four or five times - he needs to stay busy and I have told him that!

Joe would be a good fight for Jones and it is a difficult one to call - despite what I have said about Jones, he won every round at the weekend so he is not on the slide.

I think that he can really do things and I just think he is the one that can go places. His weakness with cuts is the only thing that worries me.

But he has unbelievable body punching power and is exciting to watch.

I also think that Dean Francis, the super-middleweight, will be a world champion now that he has sorted himself out.

A couple of fighters such as Anthony Farnell and Ryan Rhodes, have suffered setbacks during the last 18 months, but they should not get discouraged.

What they have got to do is have some proper fights first before they start jumping in for world title fights - that way, they will learn their game first.

I learnt from losing to Michael Watson and became a world champion soon after.

As for me, I am just taking it easy. I still train but not as hard as I used to. I weighed 13 stone, which is a stone more than my fighting days, but I'd be happier taking half a stone off!
