Roy Jones jr. to be on "Pros vs. Joes?"

[American_Ninja]

anyone verify this yet?

It's verified. RJJ is on it. So is Randy Couture. The commercial shows this big guy lugging two 5 gallon water jugs up stairs in a office bldg. It's his job, he says he's not doing it cuz people are thirsty. He wants a piece of the pro's. I'm gonna watch it for the boxing and grappling, the rest is crap.

If the Joes are really sparring with Jones and grappling with Coutore then its a huge step up from the episodes I saw.

Well Roy and Couture are different from most of the guys that are on there. They are not retired and both are top 10 in their division in their respective fight sports. It will be fun to see what Roy does in there.

What are you talking about? Couture announced his retirement after his second loss to Liddell. Even if these guys are still rated in some sort of top 10, it's not legitimate bacause in couture's case, as i've already stated, is retired, and in Roy's case... well, do I even have to go here?

I hear Glen Kelly is also going to be on Pros vs Joes, as one of the Joes.

Couture also announced recently that he is coming back and has signed a FOUR fight contract with the UFC, the first fight will be against Tim Sylvia for the heavyweight title.

Are you ****ting me? **** that's great! I didn't want him to retire on that loss to Chuck, I retract my previous statement then.

nope, its 100% set. He made the announcement himself on TV. I was really hopin that CroCop was going to get kick Tims head off, but if Randy beats him Ill be happy. COuture wont beat CroCop though. Crocop owns the UFC for as long as he is there now.

This show sounds entertaining but stoooopid.

Jones would kill any 'joe' in a boxing match.

Wrong. Couture is not retired. He is facing Tim Sylvia for the heavyweight championship. Furthermore, losing to Liddell does not make you a bottom feeder.

Roy is still rated top ten at 175 by RING and that is not a surprise nor is it unfair. A 75% RJJ is still good enough to be top 10 at 175. It's not like lightheavyweight is chock full of superstars.
