    Honestly I don't think the fight will be easy, if Jones is motivated it wil be a great fight. Plus both can fight there regular styles in this fights. I just hop that when jones does the ropa a dope. That the ref doesn't stop it in Wales like THE mANFREDO fight

    I was thinking the same thing. Easy fights are Baldo vs Floyd

    Joe will get no credit for this win.

    Dawson/Tarver/pavlik are the only guys he should be looking at, granted he will have a better retirement fund fighting RJJ at Wembley, but he will get no recognition and if anything only more abuse.

    I would love to see this fight. The thing is that Joe C has one last chance at fighting Roy and same goes the other way around. Where as Pavlik/Dawson/Tarver/Johnson aren't going anywhere anytime soon especially Pavlik and Dawson. Both Roy and Joe C have a tremendous amount of respect for each other unlike Hops, both are very entertaining to watch and should be a very competitive fight. Also Joe C is the only boxer out there right now that I wouldn't be devestated if he beats Jones. If Jones loses to Hops are Johnson again i'll lose my mind lol.

    If Jones gets a credible win under his belt against a legit top 10 light heavyweight then maybe this fight is worth taking a look at. Until then its just a big paycheck for both.

    Jones is completely shot. He can't fight for 12 rounds, just like Hopkins, but unlike Hopkins, he can't defend for 12 rounds either.

    A capable opponent pressuring and attacking Roy probably will get the stoppage. I wouldn't watch this fight because I have no desire to see Jones get KOd again.

    That's some interesting insight. I would have thought after Dawson's last performance he would be lining up Tarver to fight him. Tarver packs a big punch and Dawson has a shaky chin to say the least. He also seems to think that Cotto with his methodical stalking style is the safer fight for Floyd? I wonder if it's based on the belief that Cotto can be hurt easier and hence stopped if Floyd can land enough flush shots?
