    Oh - I agree. I'd now have him as a legit top 5 (maybe even top THREE) Light-Heavy.

    Woods-Jones Jr. II would be a completely different fight I think.

      Nah, only kidding... actually, it's even more piss-poor than I remembered now I look at it again.

      Any picture has to be something special to displace the Chuckles. I guess i'll just have to use a BBC picture for my avatar.

        I'd rather see Woods vs Tarver. I reckon Jones Jr just isn't competitive any more, and a win over Tarver would make a big splash in the states.

          Oh yeah, I reckon he could do it. Even his Johnson fights (the first particularly, obviously) were competitive. There's no reason why Woods couldn't beat anyone in his division right now.

          Nice avatar btw.

            I rckon Woods would beat Jones or Johnson if he fought them again. A fight with Tarver would be hard to call, but i'd be backing Clinton.


            Got the avatar after trawling BBC Sport.

            Intriguing new avatar you've got.

              The one I'd be most worried about would be Johnson. As Tarver is a thinking man's fighter I don't think Woods would have to worry about getting his ribs cracked as he did against Glen last time.

              He's got better and seems stronger than he did before, but I'd still worry about him and Glen... they were pretty evenly matched, but Johnson edged him both times really. Though Johnson did show signs of getting gassed.

              Jones Jr. would be good. The guy's still got enough of a rep to make Woods laying him out a name-maker.

                I just think that Clinton has shown a fairly large improvement since the fights with Johnson and knows what to expect against him.


                Jones Junior would be a big scalp in the eyes of the general public, but Roy is a really shot fighter.

                  Yeah, it would be cruel almost... Jones shouldn't be anywhere near the top ten at this stage if his last showing was anything to go by.

                  I do agree with what you say about Johnson and do think he could do it to make it a nice trilogy, but if it were to happen wouldn't you be ****ting yourself watching it?

                    Of course i'd be ****ting it, but then whatever sport i'm always nervous when watching a team/individual i support.


                    I'd prefer a Tarver fight rather than a Johnson fight, though. Clinton could really prove himself with a victory over Tarver, whereas Johnson isn't as much of a name.

                      Agreed. More so because I think Clinton would take Tarver fairly easily.

                      Look at Toney. he's lactating like a mother****er.
