Wow. RJJ is now willing to come down to 156 to fight Oscar in May. It's on Boxingscene. That would be a cool fight.

Besides, I'm pretty sure that Oscar is fighting Steve Forbes in his May tune-up. RJJ knows this and is just blowing smoke.
Can you please explain to me how this would be a cool fight? Personally,I think it's pathetic. Like I've said before,Oscar has become an event,nothing more,nothing less. I wouldn't be surprised to see James Toney call out the golden cash cow. Why not,I mean Roy Jones who should be fighting at 170 plus has called him out. Oscar mentioned Dimitri Salita as an opponent.Originally Posted by albsur2006
Roy should be fighting men his own size. Fight Pavlik,Calzaghe,Hopkins,Johnson,heck I've never heard him mention Bad Chad Dawson.This is really really becoming pathetic imo.Jones Trinidad I could just about handle,Heck,isn't Winky Wright available for Jones to fight for crying out loud!He has plenty of guys his own size to fight so STFU and fight them!
It would be really bad for Roy if he could somehow get to 156. Last week he looked cut at 169.5 with very little body fat. At 156 he would be very dangerously unhealthy and weak. Hes probably just talking though and hasnt really gave much thought about it.

Bro,honestly,if Oscar offered the fight,you really don't think Jones would take it? I think he would.I think he'd risk his health in order to make the millions fighting Oscar. I'm sick of Oscar flaunting himself around like a ho!Originally Posted by BoomBoom
I keep on telling you guys. Oscar ain't the hoe, he's the horny rich guy. The guys who keep calling him out are the hoesOriginally Posted by El Gamo
If I were Roy I'd call out Jermain Taylor or Kelly Pavlik. He could make a hefty payday off either and has a lot more speed than both and enough savvy to beat them. Taylor would gas out and I think Roy could neutralize Pavlik's power.
Oops
Not at 156. No way, Hes just trying to stir things up and get his name floating around again like he used too. I dont think he will fight under 168 at this point in his career. He has too many options at the higher weights. than again, he wants no part of Winky, Johnson, Dawson, or the logical fight to regain a Light Heavyweight fighting Woods again. I think Roys only got money on his mind though right now.Originally Posted by El Gamo

Not in a million years does Roy Jones get down to 156lbs Jones has'nt fought at 160lbs since 1994.

It's got quotes from RJ bro.Originally Posted by Violent Demise
Roy is just throwing his name out there to keep it fresh in everyone's mind, including promoter's, fans and fighters alike. He is not serious about going back down to 156, at least I hope not.
Thing with Roy is, he has quite a bit of his confidence back and on a little winning streak so many will actually avoid him. He is no longer really a "Big Name Vulnerable", but is becoming a "big name risky endeavor" again.
The ones out there with more to lose, will avoid him. It is going to be hard for him to land a mega fight, which is what I think he is looking for before retirement. He wants that 10-20 million payday. There are still good fights though under the Taylor's, Pavlik's, Miranda's who would fight him, but he would get 2 million tops.
If RJJ can manage to get down to 156 and still be in any shape to actually fight anyone I will eat my hat. And yes, its quite a nice Minnesota Vikings baseball hat. That is how confident I am.
You really think so bro? I don't know man,I think guys like Joe,Tarver,Johnson,Dawson would jump at the chance to fight Roy. He has a decent win over Tito,that doesn't compare to fighting the aforementioned guys who are bigger and stronger and hit harder. I think they would fancy their chances against him. I don't see Roy as "big name risky endeavor" at all.I could be wrong.Originally Posted by Deanrw
