Roy Jones Eyes Jermain Taylor, Super Middleweight Return

[IMDAZED]

If he beat Taylor would he become magically un-shot?

He's shot. Like Larry Merchant said, "even an empty gun shoots sometimes."

I can admire the way you support your fighter but Froch is going down hard. He should've fought one more quality opponent like Allan Green or Miranda before fighting Jermain Taylor. Jermain is going to eat his lunch. Froch has good potential but he is goin to look pedestrian against Jermain.

Don't count your chickens, dude. Froch has never been down kncoked down in his amateur or professional career. No way is he "going down hard" against Taylor.

He's shot. Like Larry Merchant said, "even an empty gun shoots sometimes."

I said "if he beat Taylor". No one could legitimately claim Roy is shot if that happened. I don't care what Larry Merchant says.

I'd love to see this fight, i think Roy could beat Jermain Taylor.

[FalconBalla2]

I dont think he is shot, necessarily... I think people compare him to what he USED to be, and he looks shot compared to prime roy.


But who doesnt look shot compared to prime roy?

Interestingly enough... I say Roy still would have ATLEAST a 40% chance at beating anyone he fights at this point... So why not?

If I was Roy I would do this:
He just fought and is in shape... so go back to the gym.. until the April 25th fight..
watch the fight... study the film.. An experienced guy like Roy with film on his opponent would be a tricky situation... He would have a head start because he can start workin now..

hasnt rjj already learned that dropping in weight is bad for his health?

Never say never in boxing. There is a first time for everything, for every fighter.

Acting like it's completely impossible for Taylor to KD or even KO Froch is ignorant at best, if not completely foolish.

I'm not saying it WILL happen, or even that it's LIKELY to happen, but it's a very real possibility.

roy can beat taylor imho

WOW!!just because he beat omar shieka?!!for one it was a made to win fight anybody could have beat shieka that night listen for 1) shiek has'nt fought for almost 2 years 2)he had just come back from hand surgery 3)that dude ain't even in the top 10...don't let that fight fool you remember what happen when he fought calzaghe a top class fighter...and you think he will beat taylor?taylor is a monster only lost to one other and that was pavlik! common dude come back to reality.what once was will never be again Roy does'nt have it anymore and at 40 he never will again.listen i like roy as a matter of fact i bought his ppv fight against shieka not to see him comeback but to support the legend in what i thought was his farewell fight and now he wants taylor!!!!retirement is the best for him we don't want to see roy hurt again do we?

I'm convinced.......

that Roy Jones Jr wants to go out in the ring like Apollo Creed.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

He should stay at 175, he have a better chance of winning a belt there and less risky, because comming down in weight, is no easy task. look how DLH end up against a Junior lightWeight.

The safest bet for ROy is beat a top ten contender at LHW and aim for Dawson, because Dawson is less likely to KO roy. Jermain or Froch could really hurt Roy.

First Taylor's gotta get past Froch and Jones has to try to beat on something other than a heavy bag.
