    I have my tickets to this fight in the Garden, who's going? I don't care what anyone is saying about "shot? Or so-called mismatch, I have Roy winning. With that said, it's a chanve to see the top two SMW of this generation square off...better late than never. ****, if I had been old enough, I would have went to see Ali facing Holmes...not too often do you get to see the greats in action! This is something to tell the kids about when they are on the forums arguing 15 years from now! Haha

    While I do think Roy is shot and this coud be a mismatch there's nothing wrong with watching a boxing legend and a top pfp fighter facing each other at the legendary Garden. I'm rooting for Jones but with him being shot(to me), unreasonable ticket prices,and a horrible looking undercard I would be hesitant to go.

    I wouldn't rule it out :nono. Given the comfortability that Roy will have fighting in the higher weight divisions, his weight drain issues being further removed and that he has the counter-punch to trouble an oft off-balance Calzaghe it's definately a possibility.


    A big question though is the overall stamina he will display over 12 rounds :tired with the frenetic pace that Slappy Joe will inevitably set :fire. I guess we'll have to wait and find out :bbb.
