Roy Jones Jr. To Heavyweight? For Evander Holyfield?

[dmarlay]

I'd watch it for free and so would 95% of this forum...

I would be OK if they put this on ESPN2. I can't imagine that either HBO or Showtime would buy it. And really, they won't get much for an independent PPV for this anymore.

You're right about HBO and Show and I don't think Jones or Holyfield's ego would let them fight on a Friday Night Fights card!...

hahaha yes its not a pleasing headliner to read in the morning, i agree

I really wish RJJ would give it up but if he feels like he can carry on and be a force let him be.

Roy v Evander? God, no wonder people say Boxing is dying.

Former four division Roy Jones Jr. (52-5, 38KOs) is not ready to walk away for good. In his last outing, he lost a shutout twelve round decision to Joe Calzaghe. Jones had said in several interviews that he may decide to make a return to the heavyweight division for a major fight. Jones won a dominant decision over John Ruiz in 2003 to capture the WBA heavyweight title. He vacated the title a few months later to make a return to light heavyweight. [details]

This is the shot fighter's circuit.

I still think RJ can do a lot at LH. Thats why I dont know what to make of this, I hope he didnt have trouble with the weight for Calzaghe. I just cant believe he's thinking about Holyfield right now. There are so many great winnable fights that could be made at LH, I like RJ against any in the top 10. The only point of going to HW would be to win some belts and Holy dont have any...
