IMO, that's a very winnable fight for Roy being that Bernard doesn't posses the workrate to really trouble him at this point. Yeah, he's crafty, uses illegal tactics without ever getting caught but Roy's no amateur himself. I'd love to see this fight.
      All my couple of points if the fight ever happens that Roy gets crushed.

            i give froch a better chance from what ive seen of him, he seems real durable - i doubt today's roy can get him outta there
            The thing that makes me write off Roy Jones when pressure fighters with pop are concerned, is that he has no legs left at all, and he chooses to stay in front of his opponents with his guard up. Doing that against people with better workrates, chins, and power than you is disastrous seeing that Jones has been KOed cold twice already, and one of them wasn't really a big puncher.

            Also the only fight Pavlik looked bad in was against Hopkins, and that is because Hopkins gave him nothing to work with. Roy doesn't do that.

              Jones Vs Hopkins is reasonable...Fighting the **** Boyz is just an outrage, theres no way even as a die hard Roy fan that he should be fighting in on Espn Classic at 4pm, unless it's a Roy Jones marathon of his past fights. All jokes aside, Jones cannot be serious about moving up to heavy again. Only fight up there for him is James Toney rematch.

                Who looks good against Hopkins? The Tarver that blitzed Roy Jones looked even worse than Pavlik did when he fought Hopkins.

                    Funny how my sec favorite fighter(Floyd) gets bashed for 'not taking risky fights' and then my favorite of all time is being bashed for taking risky fights. Talk about Picking your poison.

                    I guess you really can't please everybody.

                    Roy, i'm behind you 100% with whatever you do man. Let's go up and get those HW belts. Forget the critics and haters.

                      I think roy was talking about fighting those guys on Fight Night 4.


                      Roy V Anthony Hanshaw was life and death.
