Warren isnt silly in RJJ he sees someone who can sell a fight worldwide, in cardiff he sees 70,000 tickets being sold, by staying with HBO he enables JC to still go after some big name fighters after he has disposed of RJJ.

Hope the november time frame isnt correct, RJJ will be approaching 40 and calzaghe 37, September/october is a perfectly reasonable timeframe for these 2 to not only sell the fight worldwide but also get themselves in tip top condition!!

If you don't think Roy Jones in his prime would've beaten Joe Calzaghe, you need to go and watch more of Roy Jones Jr. Calzaghe is a great fighter but honestly, how in the hell would he have beaten a prime Jones with his style. It literally couldn't have happened barring some freak acident. Joe couldn't get his respect, couldn't get into his rythym, couldn't deal with his speed, and would get potshotted to death.

I mean if you can name one advantage Joe would have going into the fight, I'm all ears.

CLEAN BLOODSTREAM,HATES HIPHOP AND U CANT KNOCK HIM OUT(THERES 3)!!

-just as fast
-solid chin
-able to adapt to any style
-would draw jones into his fight and offset the theatrics



and if all else fails enzo would suplex him

OK, I am hearing through the grapevine that Calzaghe's next fight will be against Roy Jones Jr. Now, after watching the fight the other night, does anyone on this forum think that Calzaghe can beat Jones? Yes, I know that Jones isn't what he was 10 years ago, but I believe that he will absolutely destroy Calzaghe. Calzaghe has no punching power what so ever, so Roy wouldn't have to respect him at all. I believe that this matchup would result in Roy getting his first knockout in a while...............What are everyone's thoughts?? I'd say Jones in a KO within 6 rounds.

[killersheep]

I agree with some of what you say. Calzaghe does have a great chin, that is without question, a 6th round KO is a stretch IMO. I do think Jones will be able to impose his will and hurt Calzaghe, but that would be late in the fight after 10 rounds of dancing and playing with him.

The other thing here is that the judges will definately be favoring Joe, I think Jones will have to beat Joe as bad as he beat Lacy or KHTFO to get a W.

Joe will be favourite because he has been more active and against a better level of opponent but Roy does look good again and I will be rooting for him, but no way will he stop Joe in 6 rounds, a prime Roy Jones would struggle doing that.
