    People seem to think he is sooner or later. Remember it hasn't even been a year since he last fought, so it's not as if he's even had an unusual amount of time off. In fact he could take another year off and it would still not be that unusual if he then decided to fight again.

    Remember too on the Gatti - Maywweather PPV when Lederman made that remark about what "Roy Jones USED to do" and Roy called him on it, so it sounds like he hasn't closed the door yet.

    Biggest rumours around seems to be that he will fight Clinton Woods for his title, then go after the winner of Tarver - Johnson III.

          Good line. That's why I like Roy Jones...despite all the hoopla he has a sense of humour about himself.

            Roy wants no part of Tarver.

              All I can say is that for someone that's "retired" he looks in pretty good shape hell he looks like a Supermiddle right now.

                I agree 100% he seemingly wanted Glencoffe to win as I think Tarver is in his head big time and no matter what jones does he will not be able to beat Tarver as he is now scared.


                He seems to be pushing a fight against Bernard Hopkins now as he keeps on saying things about that..

                  Actually fighting Tarver is more of a sure win, if he doesn't get caught. I see no way for Tarver to beat him besides KO. People who talk about the first fight saying that Jones loss only wanted Jones to lose.

                    True, I saw the British commentary of the first fight, and those people thought that Jones was absolutely dominated by Tarver, and that Tarver got screwed like Jones in the Olympics, in which I thought it was horrible commentary by them.
