Can Roy Jones win a Major world title again WBA,WBC,IBF or WBO before he retires?
I believe he could but he better hurry up before father time shuts the door on him completely. I do not think he should waste time anymore at Lightheavyweight but should go straight to Cruiserweight where he has skipped in the past and setup a mega showdown with Adamek where he can be a 5 division titlist and if he won, then why not a defense against Bhop in a once and for all battle for p4p supremacy?
Depends on the belt holder.
Not many top lightheavy's would have looked as impressive beating Lacy.
Definitely. Not because Jones is that good, but because there are sooo many titles. The WBA regularly has 3 champions, the WBC and WBO often have 2 champions, and then the IBF has their belt.
However, Jones will never be good enough to win The Ring Magazine Championship again.
Perhaps at cruiserweight, but not at light heavy...that division and 168 are too deep
Sure he can, if one of these "b" rated fighters he's been in with lately gets or vacates one. Dawson has one roy, try that.
Absolutely, for example I didn’t see any Gabriel Campillo (the WBA title holder) fight but judging by his resume I have no doubts that RJJ can beat him; the question is : does he need a strap in this stage of his career ? I don’t think so.
I think he has an excellent chance of beating Green for a title, so yeah.
I think Roy needs to seriously start walking to his 'end game'.He is not starting over here ??
With the number of trinkets today,gaining one may be similiar to turning the handle on a gum ball machine in the market....can he compete and defeat the top tier caliber fighters today...I dont think so.I think Adamek mauls him.
If he fights guys who like to box or aren't heavyhanded pressure fighters he can.
If I'm a fan, I would like most to see a re-match with Glen Johnson, with or without a title. That has to be one of the most unsatisfying fights for fans.
If the fight with Green is for the title then obviously yes, if it's not then he needs to get a move on , time waits for no man.
I think he could against a carefully chosen opponent. Jones still has the handspeed, but seems to have completely lost his legs. That handspeed and an effective guard could still get it done IMO. Needs to stay away from heavier punchers who have speed and output.
Isn't there discussion of him fighting Anderson Silva from the UFC? Silva has stated that it is already a done deal, and that as soon as he finishes his contract with the UFC, he and Jones will fight.
There are avenues that could lead to him becoming a champ again. Woods COULD be Cloud this weekend. Then Woods- Jones could happen. I wouldn't bet against Jones in that one (although i wouldn't nessecarily bet on him either)
