By John Dower: Most fighters are luck if they ever become a star in the first place, but with former middleweight and light heavyweight champion Roy Jones jr. (52-4, 38 KOs), he’s getting a second shot in the twilight of his career after last Saturday’s impressive12-round unanimous decision over Felix Trinidad (42-3, 35 KOs) at [...]

Despite accomplishing little in his career in recent years, eight-time title winner Roy Jones Jr. (52-4, 38 KOs) has firmly set his sights on the winner of Jermain Taylor vs. Kelly Pavlik or the Joe Calzaghe vs. Bernard Hopkins bouts which are coming up. Of the two bouts, Jones would prefer to fight Calzaghe, 35, [...]

In an interview at fightnews.com, Roy Jones Jrs. (51-4, 38 KOs) had this to say about Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KOs) in reference to their handspeed, “Only Floyd Mayweather comes close to me and he’s still 10 miles an hour slower.” At first I thought Jones was just being himself, bragging in his [...]

According to the latest reports, ticket sales for this Saturday’s bout between Roy Jones Jr. and Felix Trinidad (42-2, 35 KOs) have been less than impressive, to put it kindly. In fact, many of the most expensive seats at New York’s Madison Square Garden have been drastically reduced from $15,000 to a mere $5000. Part [...]

As super middleweight Joe Calzaghe (44-0, 32 KOs) appears locked into a fight with former light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins, I can’t help think that the 35 year-old Calzaghe will be better off canceling the bout with Hopkins and instead focus on fighting the winner of this Saturday’s bout between Felix Trinidad vs. Roy Jones [...]

As the January 19th fight between former WBA/WBC/IBF light heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr. (51-4, 38 KOs) and former IBF welterweight and IBF/WBA light middleweight champion Felix Trinidad (42-2, 35 KOs) creeps closer, I’m beginning to suspect that this fight is going to be a blowout win for the soon to be 39 year-old Jones. [...]

On last nights’ ESPN telecast, former light heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr. (51-4, 38 KOs) said that he wants to fight super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, after he, Jones, stops Felix Trinidad (42-2, 35 KOs) in the fourth round in their scheduled 12-round bout on January 19th at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Jones, 38, [...]

With only a month to go before Felix Trinidad (42-2, 35 KOs) comes out of retirement - for the second time - to face Roy Jones Jr., I’m wondering how much Trinidad has left in the tank at this stage in his career. At 34, soon to be 35 by the time they fight, Trinidad [...]

In somewhat of a shocking display of bravado, former eight -time world champion Roy Jones Jr. called out super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe at a recent press conference, saying “I can fight at practically any weight right now. “I can drop down to 168 pounds and take on Joe Calzaghe. “‘ll fight him anywhere” he [...]

Richardson believes that Calzaghe isn’t in Hopkins’ class, and that he would be better off fighting Jones because Hopkins still has a “score to settle” with Jones [...]

Now that WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe (44-0, 32 KOs) has defeated Mikkel Kessler in the WBC/WBA unification match, most of the latest boxing news has indicated that Calzaghe will be choosing the grizzled veteran Bernard Hopkins as his next opponent rather than a younger more crowd pleasing opponent such as Kelly Pavlik. Unfortunately, [...]

With five-time world champion Roy Jones Jr’s bout with Felix Trinidad fast approaching, I thought this would be a good time to consider whether Jones should move back up to the heavyweight division following his light heavyweight bout with Trinidad. Clearly, the 38 year-old - soon to be 39 - Jones isn’t what he [...]

Three-time division winner Felix Trinidad (42-2, 35 knockouts) will be coming out of his 2nd retirement on January 19, 2008, when he takes on four-time division winner light heavyweight Roy Jones Jr. (51-4, 38 KOs) at New York’s Madison Square Garden. This is kind of a desperation fight for both of them. Neither of them [...]

By Larry Brown: Light heavyweight Roy Jones Jr. (51-4, 38 KOs) is reportedly considering a bout with WBO light heavyweight champion Zsolt Erdei, possibly to take place in November some time. Erdei (27-0, 17 KOs), a Hungarian fighter based in Germany, is perhaps the weakest power of the light heavyweight champions, but is by far [...]
