I guess the fact that Lacy was humiliated by Calzaghe was not enough?Quote:

first I've heard of this
everybody who is a true boxing fan please boycott if it takes place
thanks
Hell no! I want to see Roy Jones Jr. do his thang. He looked so good against Omar Sheika and he is going to look just as good against Lacy ;D The Jones/Sheika fight was very entertaining :lickish: I want more.Quote:

Maybe they can put Derrick Gainer vs. Kevin Kelley on the undercard.
exactly, and Jones looked just like what he is against the bum Omar Sheika, he looked like crap, and Lacy looked like crap against Griffin, both need to retire, and Jones needs to stop the dreaming he's never gonna win a world title again, and Lacy has looked like shit since the Calzaghe fight, and even slightly shittier after his arm blew out, stupid pointless fightQuote:

As bad as Lacy has looked lately somehow I get the feeling he could knockout Jones because he does still have that power. I think Jones will beat the tar out of him but it would suck if Lacy has a roy Jones win udner his belt
Lacy is a promoter now so do not think he would risk losing this early, he will want some easier fights.
I think Lacy has succombe to now fleshing out his final days as a prizefighter, to simply earning some wedge and for that, nobody can blame him.
I'm sure that despite folk criticising the fight, that they would actually watch this.
Personally i think that he should pick on Miranda or Bika as they could be interesting fights between big-punching, but limited boxers.
i would watch this fight
lets boycott alphabet title fights instead, we should just all pick one i dunno WBC & any other we refused to watch, soon get rid of them wouldnt it.Quote:

I'm so sick of this and tired of him talking about going to heavyweight. To do what Roy? The man had his chance to become 1 of the greatest if not the greatest fighter ever to lace up a pair of gloves and now he his fighting the Omar Sheikas and the Jeff Lacys of the world and has over stayed his welcome in boxing and I really hope he follows Oscars path and retires from the sport. He could have fought at Cruiserweight along time ago and ruled with an iron fist while being on the border of the heavyweights. But what does he do? He decides to go back down to a division he already conquered and fight a bum in Tarver all because he called him out. For godsakes Roy get the hell out while you can and retire already because your turning into a damn circus act.
Whats everyones problem with this fight? Negative shit all over this thread. Who else should RJJ fight and who else should Lacy fight? Is there anyone that actually would rather NOT see this fight than see it?our gonna watch it
You all know your gonna want to see it.

But to get wiped out by Johnson, who I might say is a fine boxer but his record isn't all that great, diminishes things. Losing to Wlad, people would have said he bit off more than he could chew. He should call it a day unless he is pulling a Julio Cesar Chavez retirement tour deal, but we all know how that ended too.
I might watch the highlights on youtube, but thats the only way I will see it. The only way I wil WANT to see it is if Jones gets his head knocked off again. Sorry Kel, but don't try to tell us what we want or don't want to see.Quote:

Would be a shame for people to look back at RJJ and see 10+ losses on his record due to him chasing a dream.
I agree with that completely. Unfortunately, there's a quote on the same website the original article is from of Jones saying there's a "8 out of 10 chance" he moves back to HW. I would not want to see that.Quote:

I could only see that outcome as well the way he has looked lately, his only success will come against limited guys his size or blown up fighters. Suppose he did even manage to beat some joke Heavyweight, so what? He obviously has some serious dillusions about himself thinking he could further his legacy by moving up. He doesn't have the legs to overcome a big size disadvantage anymore, let alone heavy hands to go with it. I wouldn't actually be shocked if Lacy was able to land something big and finish him. Having said that I do think Roy should put a beating on Lacy and wouldn't mind watching the fight if it must happen.Quote:
