47-year-old former four division world champion Roy Jones Jr. says he's finally ready to hang 'em up ... but he wants to go out by flooring 5 more fighters.

The boxing legend tells TMZ Sports he was inspired by the way Kobe Bryant called it quits this year -- and says he'd really like a farewell tour of his own.

In fact, RJJ says he wants to line up 5 more fights before the end of the year ... but he wants to take on guys he KNOWS he can beat.

"Five guys you should be able to deal with and call it a day."

Roy says nothing's in stone yet ... but he's definitely considering it.

First up for Jones (63-9, 46 KOs) is a planned return on August 13 at the Pensacola Bay Center in his hometown of Pensacola, Florida. Jones shouldn't have any problems Rodney Moore (17-11-2, 7 KOs), 40-years-old and loser of his last nine fights.

Jones was brutally knocked out last December by Enzo Maccarinelli and then came back in March to score a two round knockout over Vyron Phillips, who was a fan that won a contest.
