    If this fight were to happen, Kessler would win by KO. It won't though because Kessler will not bring enough money to the table for Roy to consider taking another loss, the fighter who brings that is Joe Calzaghe and there are other fighters out there that Roy could probably make more money beating.

    This talk from Palle is about getting Kessler a rematch with Calzaghe, which is the fight he wants because he thinks that with Joe aging now, Mikkel will win. They would like to get to Jones before Calzaghe does to position the victorious Kessler for a massive return against Calzaghe.

    None of it is going to happen.

      No "prime" attached to Roy's name, so I think Kessler gets a close UD.

              I don't like this fight. Seriously - if Roy can't get Calzaghe, I see NOTHING more for him to prove. He should do what he said and retire from boxing instead of letting boxing retire him. Hand speed wont help you too much if your legs aren't there to help you use it.

                Apparantly RJJ wants to fight and his management is pricing himout of a Calzaghe-showdown. Joe will likely face Pavlik leaving RJJ without an opponent. Enter Kessler.

                  Kessler would knock him out.

                    Yes. Of course the source is Palle so the reliability of the source is so-so. Palle says that RJJ's lawyer is unrealistic in the Calzaghe negotiations.

                      Let me tell you something about Roy Jones Jr. Even in his prime he wouldnt fight the best, hes not going to start now. He wont fight either Calzaghe or Kessler. I bet money on it.
