Sounds like talks are serious according to Lebedev's people. Jones has totally reversed from arguably cherry picking lower risk/big reward fights to looking for some possible brutal ones. hope his chiropractor is available after this fight (tho i'll b pullin for rjj if it comes off)
Does Jones have a death wish? The only guy more shot than him that I can think of is Echols. Enzo is still fighting too. Money is the only reason to go on because guys like Holyfield aren't doing it for legacy anymore. While I disapprove of them still fighting they are grown men and have the right to fight on.
Its a bad indication of where Jones is at, relative to his career, to be considered a major dog against with all due respect, Denis Lebedev.
Maybe we'll see a rematch in the Cruiserweight super six, to settle things. Though that'll probably also be in Germany..
My point was a while back Jones would have beaten Lebedev standard fare. Nowadays he is, as seen through this poll, not even given a chance. Its just a further reminder of how far he has fallen.
