ughhhh

He wants a tune-up fight before he attempts to get a calzaghe fight...

a tune up could be beyer or silva, kessler is tied up...

might as well get a high profile, money making, head turning tune up fight then fight some beyer guy, who.. most likely doesnt have a chance either...

I personally.. .think its sort of a dangerous fight for roy... But fighting MMA and boxing for 12 rounds.. are so different... I dont feel too bad about it

Roy Jones jr has really fallen off. He used to call the shots and be all about YALL must of forgot, fighting Silva is borderline sad.

If he wins it its like people are gona say so what the guy isnt a boxer so thats why I think its a waste of Roys time. Bring on Taylor..

i have to disagree with everyone here and say that this could be boxings best shot in the arm in a while. What else is Jones gonna do realistically? He kicks Silvas ass on ppv with every UFC fanboy watchin and instantly creates renewed enthusiasm for boxing in the media along with winning over a lot of young fans. Silva will get a beating in this fight.

That could happen or the reverse could happen. A MMA guy beating a boxer will only add to the hate that boxing gets from TV. People will say boxing is a joke and boxing is dead. If Roy wins he was suppose to win, if he loses he gets clowned for it. NO win situation for Roy.
