    Well given that a prime jones unloaded every shot in the book(and some that aren't) on woods and Clinton stayed on his feet and kept trying I doubt a shot RRJ puts him down.

    Dawson's people will swoop down on Woods first. They will perceive Woods as a much easier option than many others, and justify it too, since he won the eliminator. In the likely case that he loses handily to Dawson, Woods probably won't be offered a Jones fight anymore.

    However, if he fights Jones FIRST, and wins, which seems much more likely that defeating Dawson, there is an excellent chance that Dawson vs Woods can still happen on Showtime in the future, and if he knocks out Jones, he will generate some big press, and probably get more money for the Dawson fight, having done what Calzaghe couldn't do and having effectively ended Jones career, probably forever this time (or at least the marketable, still somewhat competitive part of it).

    So, I think, the correct decision, if I am handling Woods, is to fight Roy Jones first and then fight Dawson later. He will likely make more money this way.
