    If Roy Jones ever beats Pavlik, it will be up there with the greatest upsets ever, like Ali-Foreman, Leonard-Halger, etc.
    Why? Pavlik is by far the smaller man...

      Hey yo, I understand where you are coming from. My take on it is that Roy was gunshy in that fight and could have won easily. He landed everytime he acually threw punches. There has been 4 years now for him to recover and think about what happened and I think he is mentally over it enough to take Jonson to school and possibly TKO him.
      Believe me, if Roy gets past Calzaghe and calls out Johnson next and is able to avenge that loss, that would be awesome and would solidify his legacy. Roy really has no reason to be in the ring with Pavlik or Dawson other than to try to regain what he once had and at his age, there's no point in risking injury to do that. A Hopkins rematch isn't really a good option either unless both Roy and Bernard win and win dominantly and the odds aren't great for that to happen.
      I am pulling for Roy as I always have but this will be a tough test for him and he shouldn't worry about 2009 right now.
