    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.

    Surely Clinton Woods would jump at the chance of this fight?

    He should. Jones is way past best and beatable and it would bring him his biggest payday easily.

    He's assuming his next fight will an eliminator to determine the IBF number 1. Clinton just won an eliminator to earn that right.

    I'm sure he'd love the fight but Jones won't come over here.

    just in.. Clinton Woods

    "I'm to am a legend killer"

    just jokin...

    I think Woods perhaps UD's him now, though I'm not entirly sure what deteriated state Woods himself is in...

    Dawson would KO/TKO Jones... imo

    Not really. It's pointless. RJJ needs to retire.

    On another note, how did Woods look in his last fight? Did he look better than when he fought Tarver?

    Not really...whats the point. I admire Roy Jones' desire to fight and love of the sport...but please..please retire. Your talents at this point belong in the commentary chair.

    I'd like Woods to fight the eliminator with Tavoris Cloud.

    Sheika has lost 6 of his last ten.

    How is Jones getting eliminators/title shots anyway? He himself has lost 4 of his last 7 - in five years - with his three lowly wins being pretty irrelevant to the division.
