    I'm sure Jones is looking at Beyer, but I don't know how serious he is about Kessler or Calzaghe

    Who knows, he's been calling everybody out lately. I'd love to see him fight Taylor or Pavlik personally, but if he's big on fighting overseas which he would seem to be Kessler is probably a realistic option. Perhaps Roy Jones Jr is what's stopping Kessler from signing to fight Miranda, I hope they are trying to work something out. I think that could definetly be a great fight as well, excellent conventional vs unorthodox clash of styles at this point. Prime Roy would have played with him but now I'm not sure Jones could handle the pace. The Beyer fight would be a complete joke, but maybe Roy really just want's to have the spotlight on him in another country, I'm sure it would be an electrifying atmosphere whether he fought in Denmark, Germany or the UK. I do hope he doesn't go after Beyer to ensure a win though, would do so much for his legacy if he were to beat Kessler, which I think is possible.

    I never claimed he did.
    But Eubank always said that although he would never seek out Jones, if Jones wanted to make the match up he would not back down.

    On the other hand both Benn and Collins sought a Jones match up.

    I think he cruises past Beyer, but Kessler and Calzaghe...I think he's faded just enough for those two guys to take him.
    It's about 10 years too late for Jones' European tour.

    Where was his passport in 1998?

    He had no reason to want to travel to seek out the spotlight in 1998, because he was the best p4p guy in the sport. Not only that, Benn and Collins would have been cannon fodder for a prime Roy and Eubank even knew he would be. On top of this, there are now much better European opponents in Roy's weight class(Calzaghe and Kessler) who he want's to fight well past his prime. I think that pretty much puts a rest to him being afraid of the mighty Steve Collins.

    I find jones going over to germany and watching beyer with the intention of sealing a fight a real joke to be honest. How many more tune up fights does jones need before he gets in with a genuine fighter again? I believe jones knows hes shot and hes just chasing the money now. Its sad to see a once great fighter picking of past it opposition purely for the money trinidad......beyer whos next........sven otke lol.......he is making a comeback too!

    Roy jones jr second coming......a throwback.........for the worse. What he is doing is exactly what has damaged boxing over the last few years. We have seen a good couple of years with the best fighters in divisions getting it on in unification matches. Jones should retire before he gets KOed again......mind you thats not likely against beyer or otke.
