    a) Who do you think he should fight (on the basis he continues)


    b) Who do you think he will actually fight

    a) He should fight one of the mark-ass light heavyweight belt holders and take their titles.

    b) He'll probably fight Danny Green in Australia in November.

    Carry on beating B level fighters, cos there's still no way he's beating the likes of Dawson or Hopkins.

    He should retire

    A nice way to go out with a stoppage victory, but it won't happen :-(

    Probably Danny Green, a very dangerous fight for relatively low reward (good fighter but unkown with IBO CW belt) with a nice paycheck.

    But **** it man. After Hopkins hopefully deals with Adamek, bring on Hopkins-Jones for the World Cruiserweight Championship!

    Why should he retire? He's not going to get hurt in there. The Jones fans will want to watch him fight and the haters will want to see him get pounded. He's still a pretty big draw and could possibly get another relatively big fight. Legacy schmegacy...it's his career.

    True. But I don't think he can hurt his legacy anymore than he already has.

    True. Roy isn't what he once was -- he's human now -- but he can still make a lot of money and beat decent opposition. It is sad to see what he once was, and see him fighting with diminished skills, but you can't hate on the guy since he's still very competitive and exciting enough to watch. I think it's all he's got, his heart is probably more in there than it ever was. If he gets blasted out as he did with Tarver of Johnson then he really should pack it in since he's not getting any younger, but as long as he stays competitive and wins fights, let him do his thing. I, for one, admire his perseverance.

    He should fight Hopkins , his win over Lacy makes it worthwile again , and Hopkins cant seem to find an opponent. Who cares about RJJ vs Green ?

    He had trouble filling 9,200 seats. I don't know what the PPV did, but I can't imagine he had a ton of buys.
