    I think he's fighting RJJ next...and I think he can beat RJJ at this point in his career...

    Who would of thought this day would come? RJJ should retire, before it's too late...

      I like him, but I don't think that he is at the top of the division, but in maybe 2 or 3 years he could be.

      Calzaghe is getting old and will probobly move up in weight soon. I think that Lacey is on his way up to Light Heavy soon as well.

        For the first time since I've posted on these forums, I agree with Dino. I don't care how good Manfredo looked (and he did) against Spina, because Roy Jones would walk through Manfredo. Reason is this - Manfredo is good against slower boxers. Even at his age, Roy Jones outclasses Manfredo hugely with speed. Peter struggled against Mora both times because Mora was faster, RJ by TKO in less than 7.

          Peter did not struggle against mora in the rematch. A guy with a brains knows manfredo got screwed in the rematch. Peter made mora look like a fool in the rematch.

            i would like to see manfredo vs lacy. its a good fight for both of them and for the fans. if he fights jones it will be another turd of a fight with the jones sacriders being crushed when their boy gets knocked out again.

              LOL at these responses, an old washed up RJJ can still beat Manfredo. Give me a reason to believe Manfredo can beat him. Manfredo has a VERY deliberate right hand. He shoots it from the ear and his left hook is nonexsistent. His jab is not impressing me as well. He doesn't have the size to bully RJJ like Glen Johnson or the counterpunching southpaw style to create problems like Tarver.

              RJJ would coast to a UD and if he decides to sit down on his punches TKO

                Jones could very well be his next opponent and Jones is not the fighter he used to be. Manfredo by UD.

                I disagree. As done as Jones is I still think he can pull of the boring hit and run UD.

                  Yes, but because he had no sucess and has little power and a poor chin, he moved down.
                  Bravo dropped him, he would get ruined by any actual contender at welter, light middle and middle.

                    Beating a 39 year old Pemberton and Joe Spina doesnt mean u can beat Roy Jones,Roy Jones UD
                    That was his first fight with Roach.
                    You can see the improvements he is making, it doesnt all happend at once, its a gradual process.

                      Do you not understand what a good trainer can do for a fighter?
