    Roy should take Dawsons belt while killing time waiting for Calzaghe.

      I agree, I do wanna see the fight... but I think at this point Roy is olnly interested in making the most money, being at this age... even though I personally want him to revenge the loss... WHose glen johnson to the casual fan? theres no money in it...

      Win a title, with the biggest money fight... Dawson, Johnson, and Woods are not money fights... Tarvers already had its time 3 times.... Calzaghe Hopkins winner would be the biggest TITLE + MONEY fight...

      I think his sight is only on Calzaghe at this point.

        A past prime hungry roy jones... is better than a prime NON hungry roy jones... i do think thats true

        after winning the HW title... your pretty much in a monotone state of mind


        Oh I don't doubt his talent for a second, Roy is by far the most talented boxer i've ever seen.


        I just don't wanna see Roy in the ring at the age of 50.

          Yeah iagree I dont wanna see him go to much further...

          But I think theres 2 or 3 chapters yet to be written in his book...


          People like to compare the young roy to this roy, and say hes shot... while I say your looking at two different fighters...

          The young roy relied on Legs, and lateral movement for defense

          This Roy relies on a pressure style with his hands up winky style... looking to counter punch you with his still existent hand speed, accuracy, and experience...

          add that on the fact he still has excellent stamina for his age, has 3 knockdowns in his last two fights... hes not a pushover like some like to think...

            I agree, the winner of Calzaghe-Hopkins would be the biggest money and would help his legacy if he manages to beat the winner but he has publicly said that he doesn't want to deal with Hopkins and that he'd only be interested if Calzaghe won. But you never know, he could change his mind.

            And he needs to stay busy, the winner of Calzaghe-Hopkins won't be willing to fight again for another 6 months at least. A stay busy fight is what he needs right now.

              Well I think he knows that and he is trying to find a tune up fight... pretty much what Oscars thinking too

                Yes he has learned how to be a crafty fighter now which does make him even more of a threat.My only real worry though is that he's gonna try and bite off more then he can chew and end up getting hurt trying to fight somebody he shouldn't be fighting.

                  Well I think thats why he wants to move down to 168... where hes actually the bigger stronger guy, and can take, and defend the smaller guys punches... ESPECIALLY joe...

                    Roy would beat his ass severely and get me some revenge for smashing on my boy Lacy.
