ajamu and hanshaw arent exactly house hold names but either where really slouches,


hanshaw beat kelly pavlik in the olympic trials and has a win over kingsley ikeke


i think roy may have a chance if he fights a guy like clinton woods for a title.

its true, roy would be a huge underdog against the ageless hopkins

but im sure it would be reasonably competitive in the first few rounds and would be good for one last big fight for roy

what next for roy?

Fight Hopkins if he beats Winky cause I know Winky wont fight Jones. And Vice Versa.

Possibly Woods again. Or Erdei!

Take the fight with Trinidad whip that ass in front of a mainstream audience and hope Glen Johnson wins a belt in that time then rematch him and right the wrong.

Erdei would kill Roy. So would Woods.

Woods is a lot better then when he fought Roy and Roy's alot worse.

I'd still tip Jones over Woods, but it'd be a lot closer than the first time! Good fight for Roy, actually. Leads to a mandatory with Johnson, and if successful (both Woods and Johnson would be pick-em; Johnson would be the favourite though) he'd have a title that could lure other *names* (as long as he stays away from the very top. Dawson would eat him, for example).

Roy would bust Woods' ass still i think, Anyway Jones should set up a fight with Hopkins regardless if Hopkins wins or lose, It'd be huge either way.. a decade and a half in the making some would argue.

So that makes them about even considering Roy buttraped him. Who the fuck is Erdei he aint beat anybody that ive ever even heard of exept for Julio Gonzalez another guy Jones beat the piss out off.

Glen Johnson is probably the worse fight for RJJ on workrate alone. Roy's shell defense can be broken by volume punching or going to the body.

Sadly thats true but if RJJ beats Trinidad which he should I wanna see him try and avenge that loss Johnsons lack of speed should give RJJ a great chance if he keeps it in the center of the ring if not Johnson should smash him agian cause RJJ at this point cant hurt Johnson but who can ? To get his respect.

Assuming Hopkins beats Winky, THAT'S the fight.

Well Jones of 4 years was cutting down to 175 and the decline really kicked in their and it was only a year later Johnson was destroying him. So maybe you mean 5. Im a Jones fan but NOT delusional.

what next for roy?
I disagree. RJJ has problems with pressure fighters. This incarnation of B-Hop is not a pressure type guy. I think a Hopkins v. RJJ would be a potential snoozefest with RJJ dancing and potshotting all night long.

If Hopkins is motivated to fight Winky, and we won't really know the answer to that question until next week, can you imagine how ready he'd be to fight Roy? Those two legitimately DO NOT like each other. I'm not ready quite yet to rule that out as a terrible fight if its made.

I'd like to see Jones fight Woods or Johnson ..I would prefer the Hopkins fight but I honestly think its never going to happen since neither of them can agree on a split ..

Whatever he does he should do it in the next 5 months, fuck this one fight a year bullshit, with hes style he cant pull that off he needs youth on hes side and he isnt young anymore. Ive heard January mentioned for the Trinidad fight, if this is true then thats the latest he should wait to fight again.

Wait for trinidad, that's big money and the most notoriety with a win. In the meantime, fight a tomato can in Pensacola for the hometown fans.

If Glencoffe raped RJJ, Tito will put a baby Puerto Rican inside his man-uterus.

Hmmm was Glen Johnson a former Welterweight who has fought twice in the past 5 years ? I doubt Trinidad at 170 can hit harder then Johnson at 175 and he has never put the kind of pressure on fighters Johnson has.
