    Give me your input?
    Your living in Dreamland my friend

    It would not be even funny if Roy got in their with one off the big boys off the division anymore Roy should jst beat be average fighter and get his 50th win because he would get killed if he walkd in the ring vs a Tarver,Glenn Jonhson,Adamek i would not even fancy his chances vs Tiozzo either at the moment also,
    and facing Calzaghe would be suicide ,

    RJJ a true legend who will go down in history as one off the very best, but he over the hill now which everway u look at it

        Adamek would easily beat Jones. Easily.

          Roy physically has the stuff, but mentally he was ruined by that Tarver KO punch. He's totally gunshy and he can't beat world class level fighters with that mental handicap.

            Roy is done. His reflexes are no longer what they used to be and he doesn't have the activity level he once had. He's afraid of being decked again as well.

            I can't see him beating another world class fighter.

              Nah I don't believe so. How can you say that based on his fight with Traver when RJJ was completely outclassed by Tarver?

              Or yes MAYBE, he can still be a world champ, that is if he'll be fighthing Ivan Calderon.

                It will be interesting to watch him fight again. The only reason he lost to Tarver in the re-rematch was because he was so gun shy. Plus he never took a tune-up fight. (not too smart). Roy showed he could still land quick accurate punches, if he throws them. That had to be the most dissapointing fight of his Ive ever seen. He had the skills to be Tarver, but was scared of getting hit by the big one.
                If he's still shaky and gun shy in his next fight, Ill write him off to. I dont know if he could beat the top in the division. But he should be able to provide a few more entertaining fights.
