Is it possible he could be pound for pound 1# again.
Let's say he beats Tito convincingly. Calzaghe beats Hopkins with ease,then Roy ends up beating Calzaghe in a impressive performance.
From a skill standoint, Roy has a lot more left in the tank then Mike Tyson at 39 years old. Tyson couldn't even beat Kevin McBride
My point was if he beat Tito and Calzaghe convincingly
He still could not be. Where is Winky Wright? He beat Tito convicingly, and he dropped off the map. Beating a washed up Trinidad doesnt mean much. This fight will only determine who is LESS washed up IMO. In the case of Jones, I hope we dont have another Holyfield case on our hands of guy who holds on to a dream and doesnt have the sense to call it quits.

Could Roy Jones ever be Pound for Pound 1# again?
No.
Agree. Its a simple as that. There is no way in the world RJJ will ever be world PFP again. This must be coming from some crazy fantasy or something. This is like the Tyson fans saying that he can come back and be heavyweight champ again. This is crazy talk. This thread should be locked.
No. not possible. At this point people won't even give him credit for wins.
That's bullshit. He won't be p4p no. 1 again for 2 reasons - 1, there aren't really the fighters at or around his weight division to warrant him becoming p4p king again and 2, he ain't good enough!! People gave him loads of praise for the Hanshaw win anyway, and who the fuck was he!?
Beating Tito and Calzaghe convincingly wouldn't put him in the pound for pound debate?I think Calzaghe would beat RJJ, but hypothetically, if he was to fight Calzaghe, it would probably be by the middle to late months of this year. There's also young fighters like Cotto and Pavlik, if Pavlik goes to beat Taylor again, then beat's another big name in SMW, and if Cotto beats top fighters in the WW division, they could arguably be in higher positions P4P than RJJ.
First of all he's really old and it's extremely unlikely all this would happen but it's gonna take some serious circumstances for PBF to let an old man overcome his P4P rankings.
