Jones can have only one goal, and that is to fight the best and be the best. Clearly he's not going into this with a goal of being a gatekeeper at 5th or 10th.

He may end up there, but only because the top fighters make it so.

Let him get as sharp as he can, and take God into the ring with him, and face Joe. Why not?

Sentimental old romanticist that I am, I believe in Roy and think he could beat Joe. I have the same attitude toward Holy ...

I was rooting for Mercer too when he made his comeback efforts and he did himself proud but you see where that got me in the end. Romantic follies.
