    Unless you wanna see Roy get murdered, those fights should not be ones you should want to see. All of those fighters are too young for him on top of having power(with the exception of Ward but Johnson wasn't the biggest hitter either) and would knock Roy out. I think Roy losses to most top 10 super middleweights and light heavies.

    With that being said, the Lacy fight is good for him. Jeff has not scored a knock out in i don't know how long, and hes been winning split decisions against fighters whom hes suppose to look good against, its a shame how he is this over the hill at such a young age. I guess he never really recovered from the surgery or the Calzaghe beating. I'm expecting Roy to out box him in what SHOULD be his final fight.

    Good match-up. In a weird sort of way.

    Irrelevant fight for Jones.

    Im hoping Lacy wins, he can set himself up for a bigger payday, maybe another title shot even.

    Roy is going to get knocked out. Even the damaged Lacy has enough to shatter Roy's Glass Jaw.

    He loses all of this at this point and pretty badly.

    Lacy vs RJJ is fine IMO. They're both on the downside of their careers and thus that's what makes the fight good. Two guys on the slide, struggling to make it anymore. Neither one is much of a threat to the either so why not?

    It beats watching RJJ get shut out by fighters who wouldn't of touched him in his prime.

    It's not a surprise RJJ isn't fighting Gary Lockett. Roy would have struggled to beat him in his prime. Although a win for RJJ could possibly help him regain a bit of the old RJJ mystique

    This is probably the best retirement fight out there for Jones. He will look like superman and retire feeling invincible.

    Roy should beat Lacy on points.

    A win gives him a decent name on his record while he waits for one last big fight which will probally be after this one.

    My biggest fear is he wins this fight and finds a way to get himself in a bigg(er) title fight where he gets brutally embarrassed and put to sleep.

    You said Calzaghe would. You said Sheika had a chance to do it...man you are an IDIOT. :tired

    Now...that fight is pointless. Still, Jones will beat Lacy easily. UD or late KO.
