Justin Fortune is helping train several notable fighters who are under the guidance of Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach. One of those fighters is WBA cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev of Russia.
Lebedev is trying to avenge a decision loss by securing a rematch with WBO champion Marco Huck of Germany. But Huck is not that interested in a rematch and reports have surfaced that Huck is more interested in facing 46-year-old former four division world champion Roy Jones Jr.
Fortune says a Huck-Jones fight would be a disgrace, and an absolute massacre if the two of them ever stepped in the ring.
"I don't know if Huck is scared of Lebedev or what. Lebedev is a champion and Huck's a champion, and Roy is not a champion. So because Roy is past and who he is - why should he get a shot and not Lebedev? What's the point of that? Honestly, Huck best the sh*t out of f***ing Roy. Hucking is a freaking animal," Fortune told BoxingScene.com.
"[Jones] was absolutely one of the best fighters ever. But what would I do with him [if he asked me to train him]? I would tell him to pack up and go home. What the hell are you doing fighting at your age? That's like me trying to make a comeback. Why? Unless you need the dollars. But to jump back in the ring? This is not an old guy's sport."
