    And fight Evander Holyfield. Loser retires.

    Who would you have to win and are you interested.

    Jones Jr. close UD

    I've thought about this. Why the **** not?

    They're both going to fight other guys anyway, this would at least ensure they were each fighting a fellow old guy with no KO power at this point.

    As disgusting as it would be, in 2011 boxing, it's actually at this point a non-issue. Jones Jr. vs. Holyfield online $15 PPV ala Klitschko/Chambers... Who knows? Could be a decent heavyweight fight.

    Yes, so hopefully they'll finally make that bobble head doll outta him w/ his eyes closed asleep. See Lebedev round 12

    Yea, great, just let him get more hurt.


    Growing up Jones Jr. was my favorite active fighter, the guy was an absolute magician every time he got into the ring, and had an entire generation of children idolize him. Sadly, his continued activity inside the ring has really taken a toll on him and has somewhat dampened his legacy. Unfortunately some people forget how amazing he used to be.

    I haven't watched a Jones fight all the way thru in years. That includes Calzaghe, Lacy and Trinidad. Dude is done. I don't know what it is he is looking for by hanging on for so long, but I hope he finds it.

    This, glass jaw gets KOed again IMO but I'd rather see a safe UD and be proven wrong
