For Roy to move up in weight I would have to hold my breathe. His performance against Badi Ajaum did not speak of a resurrection for his career....it showed a slow, drawn out conclusion as he fights with what he has left. Can he compete on some level of the professional boxing world? Definetly. What leve is that? I am still unsure, as I think he himself must be. When Badi Ajamu pressured Roy in the 1st Jones was backed up, seemed hurt, and had to hold on. Now imagine a heavier, stronger puncher applying pressure like that.
I can say one thing for sure. Roy Jones, Jr. showed me that any man with a big punch, who can keep the pressure on him, will make his mental game collapse and have a good shot at stopping him. I'm not sure moving up in weight is a good idea with that in mind.
roy should fight virgil hill at 190....both guys at the end of there careers. i think hill still has the wba title too, so it would make sence that both go out in a title fight. if roy wins, its his 5th title in as many weight classes and if hill wins he gets some redemption for that body shot ko.

And Roy adjusted and won the fight.
Like I said, Roy shouldn't fight a real cruiser...that's 200 lbs weight limit. Roy should just get Glen or Joe to fight him at 182-190. You don't lose all that muscle...not all that muscle that Roy put on. It's unhealthy, as we have seen. One way to help negate that is to move back up in weight, where Roy looked magnificent.
Roy can fight at cruiser or even heavy if he schedules well, but if he wants title shots or fights with the elite in the division, cruiserweight is dangerous as we've seen that he can't take a punch very well if he's caught. He used to be able to avoid being hit. Now Glen 9-loss Johnson has pummeled him. What do you think Guillermo Jones or O'Neil Bell would do to him?

There's no incentive for Glen or Joe to put on a bunch of weight to fight Roy at this point...
R.J.J can still beat that english guy Calzaggi, wonder what Calzaggi would be able to when he has to come forward and deal with R.J.J landing first then stepping around ......this aint a musclebound Jeff Lacy who walked straight in were talkin here
