    I hate to see Roy carry on but if he were id prefer it to be at 175 where he has some kind of chance rather than facing big punchers.

    Seeing Chad's last performance although down at 168 if he were to perform badly or lose his next fight would people want to see this?

    Chad would easily beat Roy at this point Jordan. Did you see Roy's last fight? Also, I think it'd be impossible for Roy to make 175 at this stage. It was hard enough for him 2 and a half years ago against Hopkins.

    Regards, Loudon.

    Roy from 2002 probably stops Chad...

    At this point, Chad stops Roy for sure... Wouldn't be a good fight.

    10 years ago, Dawson would get beaten convincingly, probably even stopped late...Today's Roy will probably get knocked out...Roy punch resisstance is horrible and his legs are gone.

    I never said Jones would beat Dawson at this stage, however Dawson tends to switch off in fights and is a Light Heavyweight. Im talking about as one last fight for Jones Jr (like a farewell bout) before he hangs up the gloves.

    Lets face it, its better than him fighting Cruiserweights who could do permanent damage and seeing Dawson may need a confidence builder

    I think Roy will retire at the end of next year. He said so himself. Let's hope Roy gets out of boxing healthy.

    I would favour Chad if this bout were to take place soon. Roy's balance and footwork have been long gone. He should stick to training Kendall and Paul as well as commentating on HBO.
