    Roy Jones stated that after Jeff Lacy fight,he just wants 4 more fights and will call it a day and finally hang them up,he claims hes going to move back down to Supermiddleweight division,because he saids he believes he still got enough left to defeat the top dogs there.He said he wants the following fighters,Carl Froch,Tavoris Cloud and Mikkel Kessler cuz he says feels they are the best Supermiddlweights 2day,and finally for his last fight he wants to move back up to Light-Heavyweight to Fight the winner of Dawson-Johnson 2,he said what beter way to leave the sport to defeat 3 undefeated fighters and wins 3 more titles,Kesslers WBA title,Frochs WBC title and Dawsons IBO title!!! Honestly Roy has nothin at all 2 prove!!! he can retire right after the Lacy fight and no matter what hes still going to go down as one of the greatest legendary fighters of all time!!! WHY IS HE DOING THIS!!???:-(

    Dawson, a revenge match with Johnson, the winner of Abraham-Pavlik, and the close out with B-Hop, sounds like a hell of a ending if he can make it through that gauntlet.

    I'm not a link ***** or anything but...you got a link for this?

    I only ask because Cloud is a LHW so for to say he wants to fight the top 3 SMWs and then mention Cloud would be strange to say the least.

    Everyone says, why is he doing this? BECAUSE HE'S A FIGHTER. Holyfield moving up to HW didn't make sense. Foreman coming back at 45 didn't make sense and he wont the title. Fighters have a belief in themselves, even when the masses may scoff at them. It may not seem to make sense, but he believes it does so we will se what comes out of it.

    If Roy Jones Jr can accomplish all of that, he should be set to retire in the sunset. But it's going to be very tough. RJJ will beat Lacy, but everything else after that will be tough.
