Sounds all good, though it would be way better if it was in Cardiff.

I like how Roy and Joe are making this fight without help from scum bags like Don King.

gOOD MOVE FOR BOTH FIGHTERS. BOTH FIGHTERS HAVE HUGE FOLLOWINGS IN THIER COUNTRIES RESPECTIVELY. nO NEED FOR PROMOTERS HERE.

[MANGLER]

This sounds too good to be true. No promoters, no BS, just 2 fighters makin a big title fight happen between them ASAP. It makes too much sense. I'm hopeful but skeptical about this comin off so easily.

How does Jermain Taylor deserve a title shot? He's coming off two losses. He's never had a single fight at 168. Shouldn't he win at least one fight at 168 first?

Jermain Taylor was the undefeated middleweight champion before Pavlik came around.The same irrational logic could be said about Jones not deserving a shot at Calzaghe!
