    The man has talked about 4-5 possible fights since he beat Trinidad and the latest is facing Calzaghe on HBO... Does anyone know what's going on ? Doesn't he want to fight at least once more (tune up) before meeting a guy like Calzaghe ? And if that doesn't happen then like Sam Peter would say :
    '' WHO NEX ? ''

    Jones has had 3 fights since his last lost to Tarver ..All 3 in the last year he won by UD ..I don't know who Jones can fight that would prepare him for a fighter like Joe ..RDS is what he needed and e got them in his last3 opponents ..

    Roid is asking for an impossible amount of money like he did with Michalczewski.

    Most likely it will be Kessler in November - in Denmark.

    a rematch with hopkins is 10x better than a fight with calzaghe

    Rumors of him rematching Hopkins or Glenn Johnson seem to be growing.

    There was some talk of him against Taylor a while back.

    Everything comes to money..and few people are willing to pay that much when it comes to RJJ.

    No way. There's no way to get Jones out of the USA, especially not on the anniversary year of the disgraceful decision in 1988.

    Roy wants way too much money. He has to face the fact that he isn't the draw he was years ago. You're not guaranteed excitement in a Roy Jones fight anymore, which is understandable.

    But I wouldn't be mad at a RJJ vs Jermain Taylor fight. That fight might be a lot more entertaining than people think.

    BHop vs RJJ? 14 years later? Ehhhh...hugfest city

    Roy doesn't have a lot of options out there for him to be put in a marquee match. Father time is tickin away...
