If Roy looks impressive tonight? Is he Back

[ßringer]

It's going to take a whole hell of a lot of effort on Jones' part to convince me he's "back". Honestly I don't think he'll ever reach that level again but he may still be able to compete at a high level of competition. A win over Hanshaw is merely a stepping stone to regain his prior status. He simply has a lot to prove.

And no matter what level he reaches, he'll never be able to compete with Hopkins again. Bernard is such a training freak I'd pick him to beat Jones at 60.

Jones was finished when he stopped taking roids.

Jones was finished when he stopped taking roids.

Yeah because he really needed them .


If he used them it was only to bulk up and bulking up is what has hurt him.

Actually Roy will need to make his way back up the ranks to no. 1 challenger before he can get a real title shot. Kessler and Joe C. probably wouldn't want to fight him because Jones is still dangerous, yet if they beat him it looks like they just beat up on a guy past his prime.
Kessler has already stated that he doesn't want to fight Roy. Roy being one of his idols and all. So I think Roy would have to force their hand and become the mandatory challenger.

And that just sounds like a ***** excuse to dodge someone.

If Roy proves that he is all the way back or close to being back i think guys like Calzaghe and Kessler would then consider fighting him.

Roy has to win impressive tonight though.
