"What we would like to do and it is in our plans, is for Roy Jones Jr. to get to 168 pound class so when Trinidad decides to come up, we will be right there for him," Jones' promoter Murad Muhammad.
Jones reiterated that there is really no one for him to fight at 175. Without a challenge at 175 and frustrated of the lack of competition in the light heavyweight division, Jones is highly considering moving down to 168 in anticipation of a Trinidad - Jones showdown late next year. "I moved up because they said you have to go where the
competition is," Jones said. "I said, 'Where is that?' And they said, '175 pounds.'
I've done everything I can do at 175 pounds. I cleared out all the guys at 175 pounds." The winner of Jones and Trinidad will determine who is the best boxer in
pound-for-pound. |

September 10, 2000 -- After
a non-impressive victory Saturday night over Eric Harding, Roy Jones, Jr.
(43-1 35 KO's) said he plans to stop campaigning at 175 pounds and move down to 168, where there
are greater challenges and he has an opportunity to use his power
with greater efficiency. "I weighed in at 173, I got into the ring at 177. That is too light for me, I usually walk around at
180 or so."
