    True.....JT would give Roy a pass and let him finish the fight on his feet without tryin' to clown him in the process like dude from Wales did.

      JT might be too nice for his own good... I know he could have taken Lacy out, but in my opinion (which should never account for much) he stepped off the gas because Lacy is an old friend.

I'm sure they'd rather have Taylor win (and I think he would) because he's got a lot more career ahead of him, but on the off chance that Jones won it would give HBO another chance to cash in on his name in a big, meaningless fight.

        One thing's for sure, if Jones somehow wins it definitely won't be a retirement fight. It will give him false confidence that he still has it and he will continue fighting until someone sends him out of the ring on a stretcher.
        Taylor would have to be a fool to except that fight with Jones. It is a lose,lose situation. If he wins,he beat a shot Roy and if he lost the fight there is no belt to fall back on. No one will pay to see that fight,even if it were free people wouldn't tune in. Calzaghe already beat up the man for twelve rounds and Taylor went after his first victim in Lacy so why continue after Joe's leftovers when you can face Froch or Kessler for a belt?

                Taylor shouldn't rush a jump to 175. Fight Froch.

                    Jones would be an interesting fight actually. It would be good to see Roy perform well and show he's not as shot as many like to exaggerate as such.

                    Johnson will be all over this, he's desperate for fights.

                    However, if HBO don't want Froch and Taylors HBO contract is up, then perfect timing ****heads, crack on with Showtime then.
