    I guess so, but he's 46 now. I can understand those other fighters wanting his name on their resume, but Roy will be approaching 47 if he fights Huck in the fall. It seems crazy. I doubt it'd be a decent payday, and if he didn't get rid of Roy quick, he'd be ridiculed. It's just sad.

    :good

    I don't understand it...

    And If he gives Roy a shot just so he can come out and brutalize a near 47 year old legend for his name, then I will lose major respect.

    Huck loser should pick on Povetkin instead of Roy.

    Nobody's going to respect that. He'd be a laughing stock.

    The problem with Roy is he is still a dangerous puncher, Huck would be at risk if he were taking it easy on him. But I would expect Roy to go into his typical shell against Huck who is a level above Roy at this point.

    Roy just walks in with his hands up before opening up his still somewhat decent offense. Against a top fighters, he is finished, because you cant simply walk in like that. His legs are gone.

    Yeah, that full video was illuminating. He was showboating after doing like 5 seconds of work per minute. :lol: :patsch

    Huck grinds him into dust, I am sad to say. :verysad

    Jones has serious money issues so I am sure he will continue fighting for a few more years

    Do you think so?

    It appears that Roy's got no legs left at all. He's got the hand speed and he's keeping a high guard, but he just can't move.

    Yeah,

    He looks like a statue compared to prime Roy... This is a huge problem for him because his style relied on a lot of movement and fast feet.

    He is not going to be able to just stand there and walk guys like Huck down without getting hit, and eventually stopped.

    Exactly.

    Let's hope that the fight doesn't happen.
