I think RJJ will surprise people

[Kev]

I actually said straight after the Calzaghe fight that I wouldn't be suprised to see Jones go on to beat Hopkins in a rematch.

If he fights on the golden oldie tour there are a bunch of fights that he could be very competitive in and win.

Hopkins would be a great fight.

Not sure if people would want to see this but I also think a fight with Chris Byrd at cruiserweight would be a possibility, both former world champs, Byrd a former legit heavyweight champ, not a terrible matchup in my opinion.

If James Toney could ever get his diet sorted him and Jones for a second time would be a nice way to end their careers.

If Winky beats Paul Williams that could be a natural fight as well.

Actually Paul Williams himself might fancy it and that would be one hell of a fight too.

All these fights would be watchable and winnable for Roy Jones.

I don't want to see him fighting legit guys who are coming to win and knock his head off. Definitely don't want to see him in with guys like Chad Dawson, Kelly Pavlik, Kessler etc I think he's too old and doesn't need to be taking on such guys when he's probably only around 75% of the fighter he was.

The other fighters mentioned are all past their prime too though with the exception of Williams who would be well out of his weight class so a fair matchup.

I think him against Chad Dawson would be interesting because Dawson isn't a pressure fighter, has solid punches, but hasn't taken out elite opponents, and both of them are amazingly fast. Roy has a great body, and has always been able to take the body shots which Dawson lands about as well as anyone, but I think Jones wouldn't get annihilated by Dawson or Kessler. Against Pavlik it could really go either way, he could get smashed up against the ropes, or move and befuddle, and maybe even knock Kelly out.

But like you said I think his style suits him best against Hopkins.

I think Wright is a terrible choice, he's harder to hit than Joe, he's a pressure fighter can throw a ton of punches, I think he could make jones look terrible. I would have loved to see them fight near their primes.

I see on boxingtalk that a fight with him and Jeff Lacy is a likely possibility. I like that matchup, good chance for one of them to get back in the mix and a winnable fight for both guys.

@ElterribleMorales, Just because someone is not at their prime doesn't mean they are 'shot'. Like any sport the differences in ability at the very highest level are marginal and if a fighter just slips say 5 percent then all of a sudden he's going to find guys a tier below him much more of a handful than before.

Nobody could watch the display that Jones Jr put on against Sheika last weekend or even Calzaghe a few months ago and say he is 'shot',

Past his prime undoubtably, not the great force he once was yes, yes agreed but he's a long way from being shot.

A shot fighter doesn't go 12 rounds with the number 3 p4p guy in the world.

Jones could still beat virtually all of the ranked righters out there in his weight class and at 168. He's slipped and is no longer absolute top tier but to say he's shot is an overstatement and also a disservice to all those fighters he's still capable of beating.

Even at 40 against Sheika he still showed the skills, speed, charisma and brilliance that seperated him from everyone else the last 15 years.
