    Roy Jones Jr. Super Middleweight Champion?

    Ok ok, this is all hypothetical I know but, if he were to trim down to super middle he would be faster than he is now and its one of the weakest divisions aaaaand he has a much better chance at taking over that division than any other around his weight. So my question here is, could he take over that division if not, who wouldn't he be able to beat?

        I'm not sure if he can make 168, if he has to drain himself to make weight, his speed will be affected as well as his activity and ability to take a punch. I think he should just go after Calzaghe because the only fight that'd make him good money is a Kessler fight, not sure how that one would turn out.

          I know but he is fighting at a catch weight of 170 against trini, and super is only 2 lbs below. I think it would do him good to trim down 2 more pounds. He even said in his 'birthday training video' its a mistake that they got him to fight at 170 cuz he feels even faster now. so imagine at 168.

              you really think calz could beat jones jr? not even close. calz is too slow. jones would take care of that.

                At this point of their careers, Calzaghe has more of a chance beating Jones than the other way around. I could change my mind after this weekend's fight.

                    I know I might be eating my words after this weekend but most likely not. I have faith in Roy and he will get UD against Trinidad which is good enough for me cuz Trini is no bum.
