    Default Roy Jones Jr.: "I Will Beat Joe Calzaghe in New York"

    Roy Jones Jr: "I Will Beat Joe Calzaghe in New York" - Boxing News

    I admit this is one of the more exciting fights for me this year, though I still think Joe will edge it out. If only this could have happened 5 or 6 years ago.

    It is difficult to predict.
    I think thats sayoing something.

    Calzaghe was underwhelming in his debut at LightHeavyweight, Jones has done little to erase the memories of his devastating losses.

    One thing that is certain Calzaghe will not replicate Johnson and Traver's respective wins.

    Too late for Jones now I think. Hes past it and JC has done the wrong thing IMO fighting him. He should have fought Pavlik and cemented his legacy for good. Its like with Mayweather-Cotto, Calzaghe-Pavlik HAS to happen for the fans. Its very annoying.

    As much as i like Roy the person i think this will be awful one-sided.

    Joe to stop him mid-late.

    It should be a good fight to watch,but as you mentioned it should have happened 5 years ago or so.I was really hoping Calzaghe would fight the Awesome Pavlik"The Ghost!"but beggers cant be chooses!!!.Anyhow it'll be something to look forward to.I just hope its a better fight than the one with Calzaghe Vs Hopkins

    Calzaghe wins a UD by about 4rounds think Joe will have to be careful early cause Jones will be sharp with the right hand but i think he will tire after 4 then JC takes control.

    Hopkins, win or lose, will make any fight look ugly. That's how he beat Winky. He muddies the waters into an unenjoyable fight. Personally, I had Wright winning, but absolutely nothing was clear. We didn't see Calzaghe be able to show what he can truly do at 175. That being said, he was still able to take the fight and rise from an early deficit to get a UD. Jones is going to have to be just as conservative to last a full 12 and fighting conservatively does not suit Jones' style unless he's in against someone in a lopsided match-up. Slap-punches or not, Joe will do it for the whole fight and Roy needs to be able to KO him or search in his closet for a pair of 29 year-old legs. I don't think Joe can KO him, but he can make Roy look like he doesn't belong in there.

    Exactly.... We shouldn't have to be begging for a good fight, from someone who's being argues is top 3 P4P on some lists... We SHOULD be getting explosive fights with the likes of Pavlik.....

    Sad fight in my opinion.. 5 years ago Roy would have looked much better... It's a shame seeing these fights play out a ridiculous way,,,, simply based on the fact that time has passed.... We are boxing fans in the end, not matchup fans...
    Some things are just too little too late..

    Roy like a lot of the greats has gone past his sell by date and Joe is in a no win situation,if he wins it's down to RJ being past it ,and if he loses it then he will be regretting it for the rest of his life.
    A Roy Jones Jnr at his peak would beat JC and I think after the 1st round against Hopkins JC will not be dumb enough to underestimate RJ.....I agree with others though Pavlik would have been the better match

    Roy can't win, just like JOe wouldn't have been able to beat Prime Jones... Right now JOe is too near his prime while Roy is so far away from it that its just a distant memory.

    I think u nailed it right there. My heart says Jones can do it, my head (altho not the smartest one around) says he'll get beat.

    Jones is a great fighter but he just won't be able to produce come fight time as age cathes up with everyone.

    He will cause Calzaghe problems here and there with his speed and accuracy and might even score a knockdown as Calzaghe sometimes gets off balance but won't he won't be able to maintain and will fall prey to Calzaghe's high workrate losing a UD.

    That sounds pretty spot on to me. Roy has always relied on his supreme athletic ability which is now starting to fade. You make a good point about Joe's balance and that could be exploited by Roy as he can move quickly while totally balanced so is hard to hit. But that speed may have slowed and joes pressure and handspeed might catch him. I hope roy wins he's always taken on top fighters, Joe hasn't.
