RJJ vs Which Champion at 168?

[Dick-Sucker]

Lucian Bute would beat Jones.

No my friend. I don't think he would. I think Kessler would, but not Bute. I do think RJJ won't fight Kessler or Bute, because big punchers represent a risk. He will fight another top contender or champion though i am sure.

[Dick-Sucker]

Im not to sure. Im sure, he won't fight Kessler or Bute. Im sure he will fight someone in the top 5. If you put two and two together you could get this.

[Ironside]

I say he should retire, but if he doesn't he should fight an easy opponent like Andrade, get a comfortable UD and call it a career. It would suck if he retired off a loss.

The only top 5 guy at SMW I see Jones fighting is Calzaghe, probably at catchweight of about 172.

He might have a stay busy fight against a decent lesser fighter while Calzaghe is busy with Hopkins, but not a top 5 guy.

Too risky without a big enough payoff for him.

If Calzaghe gets past Hopkins, the only big money fights left for him are the winner of Pavlik-Taylor 2, & Jones, who still has the marquee name & has raised his stock again, atleast as far as the general public is concerned.


The only real possible exception that I can see is Miranda - an impressive win over Pasquale(?) gets him back in the big name list, & he's limited enough that Jones should have a good chance in outmanouvering him for 10 or 12 rounds.

i don't think roys gonna **** up a chance off facing calzaghe by taking a risk vs bute or kessler at smw, due to me thinkin kessler would **** roy up roys chin would not last if kessler started throwing some bombs. roys done at the top level facing calzaghe at 168 would be Retirement

Jones should fight Glen Johnson again and then retire having beaten everyone he has ever faced.

I agree! that would paper over some serious cracks. He should do this.
