    It beggars belief how shockingly Roy is undermining the logical fight between the other two and cushioning his own shameful retirement - he must be firmly entrenched on Planet Paranoid so that weeks away from his showdown with Tito, he thinks he can take his circus to England ( since he never though about it when Benn and Eubanks were around). And if Imperial1 suggests that Bernard is Roy's Nemesis/Copycat in the first place, I have a new challenge for every single one of you - I dare to say that if the Welshman ( no ordinary) Joe goes from fun flirtation to a full relationship in no uncertain terms with Bernard's "archenemy", he spills the beans, sunks in esteem in the eyes of the World n can be slated as a liar n a fantasist. However, if this Great fighter everybody wants to fight ( no irony here, Roy, Bernard and Dawson want Joe n that is not to be taken lightly) decides to fight Bernard or Dawson in the States, I declare him in advance as the real deal and suggest my own ESB retirement/ban if he beats either one of them convincingly. How's that? Cheers.

    I think Roy can do it.
    IMa catch flak 4 this, but we will see.
    WHy shouldnt Calzaghe make this fight if RJ gets past Tito
    everything is in his favor, he can fight in Wales, against a big name, that would generate more money than B-hop IMO.
    Fight would b more entertaining than calzaghe v b-hop.
    Dont see why this fight shoudltn happen.
    And if the fight does happen, I will b the 1st and probably only person here that is willing 2 say that Calzaghe will catch his 1st L.
    I think J has a better chance of beating him than Hopkins IMO

    Call me crazy, but I would actually pay 50 dollars to order this on PPV if Jones beats Trinidad.

    I doubt this fight ever comes off, but I wouldn't mind it happening.

    Longtime Joe fans want to see him ight the best of the best. Which would include Chad Dawson after his next one, which will be Woods most likely, Hopkins if Hopkins really wants it of course.

    Dawson and then retire a top 50.:hey

    :D Of course I'd rather see him against Dawson, Woods, and Hopkins at this moment because they do more for his legacy. And all three of them are performing at a higher level than Roy now.

    But I'm a sucker for big events with big name fighters.

    No way, you know how ****ing awesome Kessler-Woods-Dawson as a trio of wins would look on Joe's resume?:yep

    Along with the rest of it, that'd be top 50 quality mate when you assess his entire resume with his H2H ability.

    Now, totally shot RJJ, does nothing for him.

    :-(. I do not want to see Roy Jones get his ass kicked again. He should retire after he beats Tito imo.

    after roy gets thrashed by tito he will finally retire if he's got any brains .... calzaghe will UD him 120-108 it would be a no contest.

    Actually, that is not the point that Roy could have done any better than Bernard would ( that's pure fantasy in my view), Roy has no right to get in between Bernard and Joe when both elect each other as their first choice, Goddamn it! Roy is making a poor case for himself that he would travel to the UK unlike others would, that's nothing coming, just underlines how useless his position got to be in the last three years and how much disrespect he has for his pro activity - fighting Tito and tryin to build his next fight. With this unpleasant interference, the Calzaghe-Hopkins plumbed into new depths of vitriol and for the umpteenth time, it's a flight-n-fight basis for Joe or he's just the best SMW in the World and only just.

    Although Jones best days are behind him I persoanlly would rather see him fight Joe over Hopkins ..At least it be a boxing contest ..A fight with Bhops now a days does include allot of clinching ie Winky Wright ..

    But I will watch none the less ..
