    Hall-of-Famer Roy Jones Jr. has reunited with his father for his upcoming March 21 clash with Omar Sheika. "It's been a delight to have my daddy back in my camp giving me a little tune-up on my skills," Jones stated. "It's probably going to be pretty difficult to beat me, so all of the people that thought they could beat me they probably should have did it before now because now I'm tuning back up and getting my old stuff back." Never one to turn down a challenge, Jones says he still has at least another 2 years of fighting still left in him. Assuming all goes well in his bout with Sheika, Jones is already anticipating his next fight to be an eliminator with former opponent Clinton Woods to determine the mandatory challenger for Chad Dawson's IBF title. "When I get through with Omar Sheika, 9 times out of 10, I'm going to go to England and do battle with Clinton Woods," he continued.

    Those beatings by the hands of Tarver really scrambbled Roy's brain.

    What the hell is he talking about?
    Why did he get his father now?
    Did he can coach Merk?
    What the hell does he mean ''getting my old stuff back''?He was saying the same thing before Calzaghe.
    2 years?
    And why a Woods fight again?Woods would have much better chances to beat him than in 2002.

    This is EXACTLY the fight that he needs. Think about it. He needs a confidence builder, Sheika will give him one if he knocks him out but to really see how much he has left in him is the fight with Woods whom he beat from pillar to post in 2002. If he struggles with Woods or loses then he will know for sure that he needs to hang them up because he will get to see how badly he deteriorated from 2002.

    At least Jones seems prepared to try and earn his way to a shot at the title unlike last time when he beat some non contenders before getting a shot at calzaghe. I got no problem with older guys who are healthy trying to earn a shot and will glady watch their fights if they show some stuff. I just hate guys like dlh and tito (and many others) who just want to be inactive and put together some type of gimmick "big money" fight (ala dlh-pac or rjj-tito).

    He doesn't need a confidence builder - he needs to retire....

    I don't.

    But he does. He won with Trinidad so he thought wow I am back to old Roy, he lost to Calzaghe so he has doubts now. Thats why he is trying to fight Sheika and not top guys. But then he realised that Sheika is a nobody so he lined up Woods to finally test himself. If he struggles with Woods he will know for sure that he is done.
