RJJ eyes Jermain Taylor and a return to 168

odds will be relatively close on this fight, but favoring Taylor.

 

wow...Taylor-RJJ...Ill favor Taylor at this stage though...RJJ is old and he can beat some good fighters but when you get up to fighters with his skill level it seems he doesn't dodge punches and slip punches like when he's facing someone with a lesser skill level..

Taylor UD

 

Bad idea just stay at 175.

 

...yeah...he should certainly not move down, whatever he does...:-(

 

taylor UD or tko later rounds. RJ/Tarver fight he look bad when going down what happen in 168 lbs in my opion wrong idea

 

RJJ/Lacy is the more likely scenario for the summer...and Lacy says he'd fight RJJ at 175 and i'd rather see that one because RJJ is too old too make any serious moves at this point so a win over Lacy is a great retirement fight...

 

He has a much better shot at beating Lacy than Taylor, but Taylor makes him more $, which I think is his ultimate goal at this point.

 

whaaat? why taylor? there's a handful of champs between 168 and 200lbs that RJJ can beat even at this stage but Taylor (provided he beats Froch for the title which I'm sure he will) is not one of them. If RJJ were smart and he wanted to retire with a title he'd call out the likes of Balzsay, Erdei, Garay, Diaconu, Ola Afolabi, Guillermo Jones...all of whom he has a good chance of beating even at this stage and which of those guys wouldn't accept a fight with a legend like Roy who would give them possibly their biggest paydays? I think any of those dudes would take the fight and if Jones shows up like he did vs Sheika he beats those dudes.

 

Sheika isn't any of those guys

 

edit

 

well no ****. sheika's garbage. but it doesn't change the fact that none of those dudes are worthy champions and that Roy even at this stage stands a good chance against any of them.

 

edit

 

Is this all 'the man that beat the man' **** with Jones and Hopkins? Tarver beats Jones, so Hopkins goes after Tarver, Calzaghe beats Hopkins so Jones goes after Calzaghe etc. If Jones beats Taylor it shows he's still better than B-hop.

It doesn't, but is that in his thoughts?

 

After Froch has dealt with him, why not have a go, although I also believe stay at 175.
