    Should Roy Jones beat Calzaghe, Shoud he?

    A. Retire
    B. Give Joe a Rematch
    C. Give Bernard Hopkins a Rematch
    D. Give James Toney a Rematch
    E. Try to even the score with Glen Johnson
    F. Try to even the score with Tarver
    G. Set his sights on 2 more fights- Johnson AND Tarver to Even the Scores
    H. Seek out Chad Dawson
    I. Move To Middleweight to Challenge Pavlik
    J. Move to Heavyweight to Challenge Sam Peter

    I, for one, am torn between A. and G. myself....

    Wow- the wording of this thread is slightly confusing, my bad.

    Anyway, I chose settle the score with Tarver and Johnson. I feel that it is tarver who is the "wounded duck" right now, having showed signs of laziness in training, not to mention the ring, and diminished natural ability. now that father time has taken its toll on Antonio, I see Roy winning a 4th match which would certainly even things out, especially if Roy could stop him.

    Johnson is a nice guy, and too durable to stop. If he has fought Diaconu and Dawson again by the time Roy has finished with Calzaghe and Tarver, he will have too much wear and tear on him and Roy could choose to outbox him with superior movement for 12 rounds. I don't see him stopping Glen, especially with his non-finisher attitude of the past 6 or 7 years, even prior to losing to Antonio.

    This is all speculative. He could easily lose to Joey C, but a man can dream can't he ?!?!?!?!?!

      Retire.

      He shouldn't risk losing again and there is nothing out there which can top beating Calzaghe at this point.

          but if he beats johnson, he can retire saying he's beaten every opponent that he's faced a la lennox. doesn't that add to his legacy, even if johnson is not considered calzaghe-level?!?

              If the Calzaghe fight is close and entertaining, then rematch Calzaghe and then I would like to see a Johnson rematch then retire.
