Thanks Silencers, I appreciate this... Shows confidence in Roy thinking he can definitely win... if he wasnt confident... paying more sanctioning fees wouldnt make any sense. ESPECIALLY FOR ROY

Roy is a machine. He could probably make it if you gave him a week. From what Calzaghe has said recently over his problems making 168 I don't think he is going to go for it.Originally posted by reedickyaluss View Post
The titles mean pretty much nothing anyway. This is about ROy showing he can come back from the nightmare **** he endured and beat a top level elite fighter. That is what is important. The titles are a secondary consideration.Comment

No the titles are a legacy... The titles are unbelievably important... He has said it himself on the 90 minute don king countdown to trinidad jones... discussing calzaghe...Originally posted by danc1984 View Post
"Not only would I be the only MW in 106 yrs to capture a HW title... but the ONLY, and I mean ONLY, fight EVER, to come from HW and capture a SMW title"
This is for legacy.Comment

So basically he is going to do a Sugar Ray Leonard.Comment

Jones is definitely confident of winning, he wouldn't be saying these things if he wasn't.
If Calzaghe says he can make 168 for Pavlik, I think he would be able to make 168 for Jones given the extra 7 weeks, it would also make the fight bigger because there's never been a guy who's moved up from middleweight up to heavyweight winning titles along the way then moving back down to super middleweight and winning a title there, not just winning a title but beating the man at 168 and 175.Originally posted by danc1984 View PostComment

That may be the case for Roy but I am talking about my perception of the fight. I couldn't care less if it was a non-title fight. The bottom line is it is Roy trying to come back from oblivian to beat the world's #2 p4p fighter.Originally posted by reedickyaluss View PostComment

Roy Jones Jr: "Calzaghe Fight, Two Titles on November 8"
“It sounds to me as though Joe has a normal and usual injury. He had shown some concern recently about his hand not being ready. I still wanted to move forward with the September date, since HBO had already laid out the red carpet for a pay-per-view success when we took the De La Hoya-Mayweather date. But I don’t want him to be no less that his best – so if this is what it takes for that, then so be it.” [details]Comment

cotdayum, lets go roy!!!!!!!!Comment

Exactly 5 years after the first Tarver fight and 12 years since Roy fought at super middleweight. Roy would become super middleweight and light heavyweight champ again, 2 months shy of turning 40. Then hopefully retire on top, that would certainly add a great amount to his legacy.Comment
