I worry about Roy. I really do. Tito, with two years off and 20 pounds off his prime weight, landed very well to the body and got in some good hooks to the head. That said, it looked like Roy was fighting his little brother. If Roy wants to take this into big fights against Calzaghe, Pavlik, Hopkins, and Taylor he's going to get hurt.

I was actually hoping that Kelly would remain at 160 for a bit and defend his title some more before making the move to 168, but I totally understand that there isn't much left for him at 160 as far as big fights go.

So if he moves to 168 I would like to see a fight with someone other than Jones Jr. Although, Roy is still pretty fast and might be able to hang with Kelly.

Roy has always been fine taking it to the body which is why he allowed Tito to have at it. In addition, a lot of shots landed on his gloves and he was never in any danger of losing that fight. The reason I would pick Roy over JT is because even at his advanced age, Roy still has handspeed and that gives JT fits.

ROy can beat Taylor. JT's pace is perfect for ROy.

I love to see it. it'd be a great fight.................
taylor's jab would give roy issues but roy's handspeed in close would give taylor issues..................
roy would be willing to take risks if taylor is timid in any way and can't impose his will physically.....................
if roy used his jab and his legs a little bit he could pull it off....................

this would be a good fight i totally agree as long as its not on ppv i would never pay to see it. taylor is overrated and i am not a big rjj fan i do think he would have the speed still to beat taylor.

I was thinking there was a reason Roy was in the audience. He probably wants the winner. I guess he could make 168 if he can make 170. No way is he making 160 though.
