In the Deep South, Roy Jones Jr., a native Floridian, ranks among the greatest heroes for that slice of America rivaling any NASCAR driver, football star or Confederate hero.
Can you say Mississippi?
Jones (50-4, 38 KOs) returns to his southern roots once again to prove his talent has not slipped like an old shoe without shoelaces.
