    yes he will...first of, its a ton of publicity...and secondly, it will be an angle to get a world class boxer, maybe even jones himself into the octagon

    jones would never do it

    firstly hes too old, secondly, he doesnt have the time to learn and become efficient at the neccessary disciplines to be good (age again), and thirdly, jones has always been about safety.... in boxing, hed never put himself at the increased risk with MMA, plus he isnt stupid

    he knows he doesnt have the skillset to compete, nor the time to learn

    dana would be better of going for a younger cat, someone with time to acclimate to MMA

    he wouldnt want someone who would acclimate to mma at first....he'd want a high profile boxer to come in there and get arm barred in 45 seconds

    any self respecting great boxer would never do that

    dana will wind up getting larry holmes or making a pitch for ali

    What's more likely is that the fight never comes close to happening.

    I hope they at least negotiate. I wanna hear Dana bitch about Roy's negotiating skills. Robbing them MMA fighters with no options is one thing but trying to get a big cut from Roy Jones is a whole different story.
