    Question J.Calzaghe Vs R.Jones

    Hi their boxing fans.I was wondering when is the Calzaghe Vs Jones fight due and were?I do understand that its during the winter(november,december)time but there has been no exact date yet!Apparentley it'll be Calzaghes last fight and im hoping to grab a ticket if the fight is made over here in the U.k which im sure it will.

    Any views on the bout in mind?I would appreciate it.

    Calzaghe by close UD/SD. It'll be a lot closer than most people think, just because RJJ has the style and speed to give Calzaghe trouble and because Calzaghe doesn't have the power to trouble RJJ. As long as Roy doesn't spend half the fight laying on the ropes I think he'll do well. Maybe (probably) not well enough to win, but he'll look good in losing..

    Nice one friend.I would of loved to have seen Calzaghe fight Pavlik instead.What a last fight that would have been to leave a print on his legacy wheather he loses or not.I mean thats the fight us Brits and the rest of the world want to see.It would be mouth watering to say the least,but we'll just have to wait for the Roy Jones fight instead.I like Jones style,i've always have.It should be a good fight nevertheless!


    Does any one now when and were it'll be held?

    I'm assuming since JC has the drawing power now it will be in Cardiff.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I think Roy will KO Calzaghe if the fight happens in Wales.

    One of the greatest fighters ever turns back the clock - washed up, in hostile territory, takes out the No.1 Supermiddle/Light-heavyweight, undefeated top 3 pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

    It's a great story. I can see it.

    The way Calzaghe is talking recently it sounds like some Vegas casino has offered a vast amount of cash to stage it. Maybe HBO are going to take a flyer on a PPV spectacular too. Jones-Trinidad made a lot of money so it's possible.

    Yeah especially with King running the show.

    If that is the case, maybe it wont be his last fight. Surely he'll end with a packed Millenium stadium?

    If he wins he's guaranteed to get another massive offer to fight somebody, probably Pavlik. I think he'll retire though.

    It says on fightnews that Calzaghe split with Warren. He says he is going after Jones and not interested in Pavlik.
    Anyone else hear this?

    Why wast this fight ten years ago? Why didn't Joe C call out Jones then? I just hope JJR gets the same kind of judging that Calzaghe got over here. You know if that was Hopkins in Calzaghe's shoes in Wales he would have never gotten the decision that Joe got over here. That is a fact.

    I would love to see it being big Roy Jones Jr fan i think Jones deserves to go out on top like he rightfully should of done after Ruiz fight. Jones has a good right hand lead and i can see him leaping in with that punch and catching Calzaghe by surprise and off balance and knocking him down. And Jones does still have enough power to turn a fight around like he did against Hanshaw when he landed that beautiful 3 punch combo, the only thing im worried about is Jones lay's on the ropes too much and i can see Calzaghe getting a BS stoppage while Jones is on the ropes.

    I think Roy wins either by stoppage or UD 12 and if its over here im going to witness Calzaghes first loss.Calzaghe should have pushed for this fight in the early 2000's rather than fighting a past his best Jones.COME ON ROY YOU CAN DO IT!

    Yeah Jones does tend to hold his hands high and just stay on the ropes. and Joe does throw alot so a stupid ref may make teh wrong decision but I dont think Jones gets stopped . Infact I think he is right in the fight and will do well early .

    As he tires though Joe changes gears and he tends to always find a way to win . I cant see any boxer dealing with Joe when he is like this . He will outwork Jones and take a points decision .

    I don't know when or where, but this fight, if it happens, will be the sleeper of the year. Roy will put up a much better fight than people anticipate and he still has a very good chance of winning. But look for Calzaghe to eke out a narrow UD.
    Oops
