    What's got inside Roy's head?? Why not just fight some killers in his own division instead of moving up to HWs where he could get seriously hurt? :huh

    He wants to fight either LAcy or Johnson first..

    he is not going back up to Heavyweight because there is nobody he could cherrypick a belt from right now. Roy is all talk as usual. How many times in his career have we heard Roy is going to do this or that and then he ends up fighting someone like Hanshaw or Rick frazier?

    from what i've heard he needs the money, and the big money is still and always will be in the heavyweight division.

    i say he still fast enough to avoid getting hit by Arreola. if haye can some how beat RJJ then that might be a big fight . not saying he could win

    Why not just fight Hopkins then, and get his ass beat into retirement?

    Even this shot to **** version of Roy could take Valuev, pretty easily.

    Roy would get KOed by a jab. I don't think Roy could beat Holyfield at this point.

    Jones could beat Valuev, Arreola, Peter...
    I truly believe top LWs and Cruisers could do that too.

    Tough to watch. I am a big fan of Roy but this is like Michael coming back now and calling out Kobe. Just not going to happen these days.

    Ya know the sad thing? Even though we all hate this, chances are we'll all be there to see it.

    There's something about nostalgia that makes us go down these horrible roads.

    10 mill for fighting Calzaghe how long ago and he needs money? I doubt it.

    Jones did not get 10 mil from the Calzaghe fight. Plus, he got stiffed by Don King for the Trinidad fight.
