I'm a big Jones fan but I don't give him much of a shot. Joe is coming over here which means he KNOWS he needs to win convincingly... Furthermore, I can't see this version of Roy Jones hurting Joe.
Roy 7 years ago would have been a beast agains Joe.
All you Calzaghe whiners always bitch about him not getting respect. He has it. Most people are picking Joe... I, as a big Jones fan am also picking joe...
As I've said before the only group that outdoes the Calzaghe haters are the Calzaghe preachers...
Re: Roy Jones is going to win!
If you look at who Roy fought recently how the hell can he say he was setting it up for Calzaghe. I watched the Tito fight this morning on demand and I kept saying to myself Tito is not even close to what he once was. Throw Prince Bada and Hanshaw in the mix who at times gave Jones trouble you must say who the hell on the top level has he beaten since Ruiz if you consider that top level. Jones is still quick but it will take alot more than quickness in there Saturday and more then lead right hands.Call me crazy I think Joe with his high output could even stop Roy late in the fight.

Re: Roy Jones is going to win!
no he won't. I was supremely confident in that even before Teddy Atlas picked him to win.
Re: Roy Jones is going to win!
Teddy Atlas and Bernard Hopkins are picking Roy to win... interesting.

Tito looked way better then he did against Winky Wright or Ricardo Mayorga. He didn't get down on himself. I know Joe is likely going to win, but don't take away from the Jones-Trinidad fight, Trinidad looked better than he had in years. Who did Roy beat? Antonio Tarver the first time they fought, by wide decision IMO.
Re: Roy Jones is going to win!
If by interesting you mean the kiss of death for Roy then yes.
Teddy hasn't picked a fight right since ever.
Teddy picked Zab over Floyd.
Teddy picked Tony Thompson over Wlad.
If ever anyone needs a refutation of an argument that only people who have boxed really know the sport then there are only two words necessary: Teddy fucking Atlas.

Seen as Pavlik has been exposed for what he is i think this fight has become appealing. Jones showed enough against Tito that suggested he still has his speed and power and would even at this stage obliterate a Pavlik and be competitive with the best at 175.
Who else was Calzaghe going to fight?
Re: Roy Jones is going to win!
I don't know who's gonna win but roy jones has a decent shot.....if not it's silly that joe is even fighting him in the first place, as much as roy is being degraded i don't see how calzaghe fans can expect much of a change in opinion of him for beating up some old man who didn't have a chance in the first place.
Re: Roy Jones is going to win!
Since i picked pavlik over hopkins, i'll pick jones over calzaghe to even it out.
Re: Roy Jones is going to win!
i am gonna base it on history, RJJ been knocked out twicw & calzaghe aint been knocked out. regardless of who they fought joe never tasted defeat either.

Can't see it.
Maybe if Calzaghe freezes?
Or perhaps he's already hanging his gloves up?
REally can't see it but you never know.
Share your excitement though.
Can't wait. Can't wait.

Chad Dawson, Glen Johnson, rematch with Bernard Hopkins? All three are very tough fights for him. I think Glen Johnson would really surprise him.
