Roy Jones wants Beyer, Kessler and Calzaghe

[jaz_pagan]

I'm shocked...Roy Jones is actually willing to go to Europe for all three of those fights:

JONES SEEKS EUROPEAN TOUR WITH BEYER, KESSLER AND CALZAGHE

I think he cruises past Beyer, but Kessler and Calzaghe...I think he's faded just enough for those two guys to take him.

I'd love to see Jones in with Kessler - watching Roy Jones Jr. in Copenhagen would be a dream come true, no question asked - or for that matter Calzaghe, but this business with Beyer? What the f***?

If he needs to go to Germany to fight way-past it fighters, could he then at least not take on Ottke (phuk that '0' right up) or even better Dariusz?

I think it would be a good fight with Kessler.He might struggle with the hand speed and speed of Jones tho much like the Calzaghe fight.

[Baby-Faced-Assassin]

I think kessler and calzaghe would beat him

[eagle]

If Jones fought Kessler and beat him (i dont think he would) Imagine the build up there would be for a RJJ Calzaghe fight if Joe C gets past Hopkins!

It'd be huge!

Beatin Beyer will not prove a thing.

[armin]

Beyer is way past it, I mean you could see it in the kessler fight, he has no fight left in him, it just seemed like he said "screw it", so I don't know why he's even back in the ring. As for taking on cal or kess at this stage, they're not blown up past it welterweigts and would add another L to roy's column, few years ago completely different story, but I don't think roy is back just cause he beat some amujabu guy and past it tito.

RJJ would batter feather fisted Beyer, even if RJJ punch resistance has gone he has nothing to fear against Beyer who is old and shot. As for Kessler im not too sure about that match up i think Kessler may be a bit too stiff and slow footwork wise to deal with RJJ's speed. And as for Calzaghe i would give Jones a chance against Calzaghe because Calzaghe has a bad weakness against straight right hands and thats one of Jones best weapons. Plus Calzaghe has never met anyone who is even close to RJJ speed wise.

For years Jones ignored top class competition from Europe.
(Benn, Eubank, Dariusz)
Now that he's necessitating some credability he decides they're worthy

He has nothing to lose now, when he was P4P number 1 he didn't need to take unnecessary risks. But to be fair to Jones he did try and get Dariusz to come over to USA, but Dariusz was making a lot of money in Germany so he didn't need to take the risk either. neither man wanted to leave home. Im pretty sure Benn vs Jones was going to happen but Benn lost to Malinga in there rematch so that fight lost interest. As for Eubank im sure i remember him saying he would have never RJJ because he knew he would of lost or something like that ??

Eubank was quoted as saying that he would never seek out a fight with Jones, however should Jones ask to fight him he wouldn't back down. When asked of his chances Eubank said that he felt Jones would win but Eubank would give him his hardest fight and he would never back down.

As for Benn, I feel it was his fight with Collins that cemented his fate never to meet Jones.

Collins sought a fight with Jones for years, but never got his chance. Altrhough it is common thought that Jones would tear him apart, Collins still sought the fight offered big money and never got the match up.

And as for Dariusz, he was the linear Champion Jones had an incentuive to fight him but never did.

Just because Dariusz was the Linear champion doesn't mean he was the best LHW in the world. And that certainly doesn't mean Jones has to come to Germany and get robbed, Jones offered Dariusz a fight in USA Dariusz didn't want no part of it, and Jones didn't want to come to Germany end of. It wasn't just Jones fault the fight didn't happen it takes two to fight. Plus Jones record at Light Heavyweight was much better than Dariusz's. Fighters who gave Dariusz trouble like Richard Hall Jones toyed with. Plus Julio Gonzalez went on to totally out box Dariusz and give him his first loss, the same Gonzalez who Jones toyed with and floored him 3 times. As for Collins vs Jones i have no idea why that fight didn't happen, but there is no way Jones would avoid a fight with Collins especially when Jones beat Reggie Johnson, Mike McCallum, both fighters who beat Collins.

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.

It's about 10 years too late for Jones' European tour.

Where was his passport in 1998?
