If you're talking about Roy and Mike, they've never fought. This is just a rumored bout for a possible fight in the future. If you mean when are Mike, and Lennox fighting again, there is no scheduled rematch for that fight at this time either. I guess right now everyone's just weighing their options.

after the antonio tarver fight ROY said all he wants is one mega fight with MIKE and he is done. Thats all he wants.

I never said Jones shouldn't fight him. I responded to you saying Jones would have nothing to lose by fighting him.

Of course I realize how many people tune in to see him fight. Still, he is done as a championship quality fighter. People tune in because they want to see him get his ass handed to him. It's the age old good guy vs. bad guy that promoters have been creating for decades. His abilities and how many people watch him fight are two different things entirely.

Also, just because people tune in to his fights doesn't mean that he's not a loser. His quality of life sucks; he has very little morals about him and couldn't care less about people in general. This guy should have the world by the short hairs and look at him. He's made hundreds of millions of dollars and he's broke.

Jones is the draw here, not Tyson. Tyson should be begging Jones for the fight because as I said before, it would be an easy way to get out from down under and guys like Mike would take a brutal beating rather than actually have to work for a living.

The original question was, what would Roy Jones gain from a fight like this, and my answers were: a possible title shot, tons of respect for beating one of the most feared, and by many, the most hated men in boxing history, and lots of tv time and publicity. I realize that you were responding to my comment about Roy having nothing to lose, but I saw nothing in your response that shows me he has anything to lose. You mentioned that when fighting a loser, you always have something to lose. I totally disagree with that. Most people enjoy seeing losers get their butt's kicked, so if anything I think Roy would be revered even more for knocking out a guy who many people consider a loser.

I do hear what you're saying about Mike begging for a fight with Roy, and the more I think of it, you're probably right. Afterall, he must have known his chances against Lewis were slim, yet he still fought him. And of course he must have known the same when he fought Holyfield for the second time. So, yeah, he probably would fight Roy. I just think if he were smart he'd just take on a few throw aways for 4, or 5 million a piece instead. The more times he gets humiliated in a big fight situation, the more his legacy will go down the toilet. As if it can go down anymore.

Btw, Mike really should look into finding someone he can trust to handle his money. The dude has made hundreds of millions of dollars in his career, how he can go through all that shows me he desperately needs help. I realize Don King, and his ex wive's have gotten, and some still get alot of his money, but still, he makes millions of dollars, so that's no excuse for being broke.

Oh really? I never heard that. That kind of sucks, I was hoping that after he fought Mike Tyson, he'd fight Lennox Lewis. Oh well, lots of fighters have said things like that and have changed their minds, hopefully he will too. Either way, if he does end up getting his fight with Mike, I hope he kicks his butt!!!

Yeah I checked my pm's a couple hours ago, and saw them. I don't check my personal messages everyday, so don't be offended if I don't always get back to you right away.

You know George Foreman, in his younger years, was just as brash, flambloyant, and rude and crude, much more worse than Tyson and Jones but he has since found God and mellowed out in his mid-to-late thirties!! Hopefully, Jones and Tyson can do the same!!
