Former four division champion Roy Jones Jr. has been making the rounds during several promotional appearances in the UK. During some of those appearances, Jones has challenged WBA heavyweight champion David Haye to a fight in early 2011. Haye defends his title on November 13 in Manchester against Audley Harrison. Jones has lost his last two bouts, dropping a twelve round decision to Bernard Hopkins April, and a first round TKO defeat to IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green in 2009.

What's sad is I don't event think he'd be the favorite to win. Sigh. Roy was the man back in the day. He needs to retire so we can all pull out those fights and remember how skilled he was.

****ing retire already both of u!!!!????? Im sick of seeing jones still fighting at this age he is absolutly terrible....and last but not least evander omg when r these guys gona retire!!! Jones will only retire if he gets in the ring and the other fighter gives him a concussion or posible brain damage ...those r the only time he'll b serious about retiring!!!

i couldnt agree any more! when its time its time. i thought it was time after the 3rd tarver fight. but this just seems to tarnish his career somewhat.

Of course Jones wont be a favorite to win. In all honesty I think if Jones cut to 168 and Malignaggi went up to 160, I would favor Paulie. I remember when the only question people would ask during a RJJ fight was whether or not he would be rapping that night. Now its whether or not he will be leaving in an amberlance.

I'm lost for words....... Maybe if Holyfield where to have a title/belt which IMO is still plasuable as long as he's not fighting either of the Klits. I mean IMO he beat the giant not too long ago but lost to the home cooked judges.

If Holyfield won a belt and made it a meaningful fight I would look forward to it I guess. But its nothing more than a meaningless fight. Its whatever, maybe it will being some lime light to the heavyweight's.... lol

Jones - Holyfield? No, thanks.
If Haye will fight Jones, the WBA title should be "removed" from major titles.

[Dorian]

This fight should be called "Retirement" the winner and the loser both retire. Then I will watch it
