    Atiyo is just not good.
    Jones will lose against every Top-30 Figher.

    Ive no problem with him continuing his pension fund tour across the Eastern Europe.

    I dont want to see him in against any actual top level cruiser

    Jones is ranked 21. He should fight a top 10 fighter next and make a run for it or just retire. It's more dangerous for him to fight a lot of these fights than to just fight for the title ASAP and win or lose retire.

    I don't know if he can win a title because he doesn't have a lot left but he seems to have enough left to be in the top 10-15 at cruiserweight which is enough for him to get a title fight at some point.

    He seems to want to retire in a title fight as he stated that was his goal.

    its all subjective, non of the top thirty could hold a candle to him in his 'heyday' . Turn the tables around and lets see what can they do when 45yo.

    Roy is a great sportsman in and out the ring:good

    He's fighting guys now that would be decimated by each and every good Cruiser out there. It's good he's making some bucks and can probably retire with some reserve on his account.
    Bot the last fighter anyway near the top 30 he fought he was dropped and needed a anti-hometown decision against (Glazewski).
    So he should most certainly stay away from the contenders and certainly beltholders in the division because he might end up seriously hurt.

    I have no problem with him continuing to fight bums. If people are dumb enough to pay him, why not. And he should stay away from any top 15 ranked fighter.

    It's amazing what one KO, regardless of opposition, could do to fans. No wonder this place was going ape**** for Miranda knocking out bums back in the day.
