Roy Jones Jr.-Jermain Taylor in The Works

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Lou DiBella has advised BoxingScene.com that talks are ongoing for Jermain Taylor (27-2-1, 17KOs) to face Roy Jones Jr. (52-4, 38KOs) in either June or July, on HBO pay-per-view. The fight will likely take place at a catch-weight of 170-pounds. Taylor, a former middleweight champion, lost a unanimous decision last Saturday night to Kelly Pavlik at a contracted weight of 166-pounds. Jones won a unanimous decision over Felix Trinidad in January. [details]

roy should not be looking to fight guys coming off losses! he should be eyeing hopkins/calzaghe or Pavlik. they each have belts.

To Lou Dibella-No matter how much money you have.....from NOW ON...Always wear OLD shoes. Get better soon.

[Mr. Philadel]

that explains why Roy was in the front row Saturday night lookin closely!

[RayLeonard82]

I think Roy is just slowly building himself back in to contention. Building up his confidence. Taylor is still a elite fighter,and a dominant victory over Taylor would put Roy all the way back in the mix.

If Roy beats Taylor he will earn alot of respect,Taylor lost a hard fought decision against Pavlik on saturday,he gained ALOT from the loss,if Roy beats Taylor it would look great on his resume

[bishop2006]

On a side note from last Saturday's Pavlik-Taylor pay-per-view from Las Vegas, DiBella slipped and fell while exiting the ring during Ronald Hearns' undercard bout. He suffered a back injury and a broken rib

Haha idiot

[SkillspayBills]

Damn Dibella got ****ed up by new shoes.

[MELLY-MEL...]

can taylor beat roy at this point? should be a good fight though!

[The Hammer]

Good to see the promoters bringing us these interesting matchups!

I'm a Roy Jones fan, but I think the younger sharper Taylor will win.
