Former light heavyweight champion of the world and four weight world champion Roy Jones awaits the winner of the upcoming Glen Johnson-Antonio Tarver rematch, confident that he will be in line to face the eventual victor. Jones' activities outside of the ring have included attending promotional events, working on his music career as well as attending some of the world's biggest fights as he rests from being knocked out by Johnson in nine rounds last September. Tarver also holds a devastating stoppage win over Jones, having knocked Jones out in two rounds earlier in 2004. The word on Jones' comeback is still very much "if," but surely only the highest-profile fights will do for the fighter once regarded as the greatest of the last twenty-five years in the sport.
