Roy Jones jr wants Samuel Peter after he's done with Calzaghe

[LOLORSKATES]

everyone knows that you can forget the two losses to nobody tarver
and johnson. that was more due to jones moving down in weight
just like chris byrd getting knocked out by shaun george, a relative
nobody. roy jones is back ... roy jones is the best p4p of our era
he fears no man.

Why forget Tarver's and Johnson's losses? Both of those guys came to Roy Jones and gave him hell in fights which most people were predicting Jones would make a statement ala Montell Griffin?

Jones just wasn't beating people to the punch like he used to when he was younger. Jones had trouble early in the Trinidad keeping the aggressor at a safe distance. I don't think Jones can afford to go to the ropes against Sam Peter. Peter is not one of the smarter or quicker heavyweights but his physical strength and physical style of fighting he can pressure Jones while Jones' legs aren't young anymore.

Calzaghe is a winnable fight for Jones if Jones can counter punch off of Calzaghe's tendency to lunge in wide with his punches. Calzaghe himself said that hes noticing signs that hes aging like getting cut more and going down. Jones is going down too but maybe if his confidence is right he can take advantage of the openings unlike the Tarver third fight.

As above, he wants to challenge Samuel Peter for the WBC Heavyweight Title!!!! **** yeah! He could actually do that! He'd be far too fast, he just needs to avoid Peter's bombs. If toney can hang in there, so can Jones!!!!

Dunno if it'll ever happen but I actually believe he could do this!

Source??? His interview on boxing talk!

i guess rjj hasn't learned his lesson yet.

[Derranged]

Is there any proof that he was talking about this??

Anyway, I dont believe him. Just a few months ago he was "considering" going down to 156lbs to fight DLH. Not happening.

I wish he would shut the **** up and quit pretending he is the same fighter he was 10 years ago. Sam Peter would squash him like a g****. If Roy were to somehow beat Calzaghe, his head would once again swell to enormous proportions.

see this is why Roy Jones is like the great fighters of yesterday
like Whittaker . He doesn't have to step up but he's stepping up
that's what champions do. champions don't say no i'm retiring
when there are challenges still out there.

That was a misquote. He said 166, not 156. Get the audio.

You couldnt be any futher off when talking about Roy Jones.



Ive seen the interview where he does mention Peter. BUT this is Jones doing what he did/does best TALK. Nothing will come of it. Really if thier is any boxer he should want to fight its Calzaghe. Jones cant deal with power and Calzaghe has little. Yet its still taking him forever to get the fight done, almost lost it at one point. Fighting any one decent around his weight class isnt what RJJ does.

i would honestly give roy jones a good chance against peter...


Peter is much bigger than jones but peter is...well...fat...and slow.

Jones (if he fights highly defensive and puts on his running shoes) could easily decision peter...

why?

roy jones boxing skills/speed will ALWAYS be better than peter's...

only thing off the top of my head i can think of that favors peter is size and strength...everything else roy jones is superior.

it wouldnt be an exciting fight...but jones could pull out with a win.

[RagingBull22]

Jones is ****in crazy, he would get beatdown by any heavyweight that can punch.

Peter by 1st round KO

Wow i would like to see what happens to roy when he gets by a powerful hook by peter? no great fighter like roy deserves that but at the same time its his fault for not retiring.
