Jones vs Calzaghe...September 20th? Cry little girls...cry! Heh heh.

come on Roy do me a big favour dude ;D

Not looking forward to this one Jones is shot to pieces he struggled against Hanshaw and even when he knocked him down he had no energy to finish him off, and even in the Tito fight he had to take big breaks so he could mount an offense, i don't want this fight to happen a legend like Jones deserves to go out on top and im rooting for him because im big fan of Roy Jones Jr and im hoping his speed and awkwardness will be enough but i don't think it will, Calzaghe stated that a fight between Tito vs Jones was an old hasbins fight so why does he want to fight an "old hasbin" its ridiculous. Both Calzaghe and his father contradict themselves all the time.

Last throw of the dice for Jones so i expect him to be well up for this one.
Can't wait but JC will have way too much for him i reckon:cool:
Jones will be involved for 4 or 5 rounds then he'll melt.

This fight is on at the MGM GRAND i Las Vegas!Twat i was hoping it'll be over here in the U.K cos i was planing on going to watch it live:eek:

i ain't too excited about this, Jones might have the speed and accuracy to cause Calzaghe problems but at the end of the day it comes down to Calzaghes workrate that i don't think Jones will be able to deal with at this stage of his career. Calzaghe wins a UD, i do pray that Jones wins and ends his great career.

Joe should have insisted this was in Wales for his swansong:mad:

Is it confirmed for Vegas? King must be promising him a fortune

More or less!£££££££talks!:-\

I like both guys... Been a Jones fan since I can remember, and recently been a Calzaghe fan. With that being said I think Roy is still faster and definrtly has more pop on his punches.. I think Roys lead right will make the difference and will keep Calzaghe off rythm... Calzaghe was hit flush quite a bit from and Old slow Hopkins, those same punches from Roy would have floored Cal with the snap thats on them...

Roy has evolved 10 fold, has a nice defense now and although he fights in spurts, so do 24 year old fighters, so whats the big deal? Calzaghe wont put a dent in Roy but can only hope his workrate makes the difference.. Roy has his confidence back as well, that was really his only limitation after the Tarver/Johnson debacle... Jones is far from shot;)

What a let down.

Joe should have gone for Wembley or Cardiff.

Jones will take time off against the ropes he rests at least 1 min of every round.

Jones will run and try to pot shot until he hits the rope and he will get a hurting.

A dominating mid fight stoppage by Calzaghe who is 4-5 levels above the Tito he fought.

Ive already said on another thread i'm putting my neck on the line and going for Roy Jones to win by TKO late.I look at this way if Hopkins can nearly beat Calzaghe quite a few thought he did win including myself i think Jones has better speed better stamina and more power than Hopkins so i think he will beat him between round 7 and 11 TKO.I think Jones will get up for this like he did Ruiz he will look at this as a massive challenge to prove doubters wrong and end his own career on top.

If bhop couldnt beat JC even after a knockdown and a good 3-4pt lead in the fight i dont give RJJ much hope.

Much more the type of boxer joe will enjoy fighting against. For all his ringsmarts and power the definitive factor to winning or losing the fight for him is not how well he gets off his own gameplan, but whether he has the ability to mess up joes.

JC by a unanimous 117-111 decision that eventually leads to both men calling it a day

Yes, it should be in the UK if it really is his swansong. Hardgoing on the fans making yet another trip across the Atlantic. The Hopkins fight and the Hatton fight last year with PBF...a lot to splash out for.

Hopefully, its only Joes 2nd to last and we all get the big fight send off that would be a fitting testament to his career....Pavlik in Wales.

Hopkins at 43yo is far younger in boxing terms than Jones at 40yo.

Plus Hopkins was coming off his best career B2B wins, Winky wright and Antonio Tarver, Jones Hanshaw and Trinidad.

No comparison, Hopkins would eat Roy up, Roys style doesnt suit to him slowing down and Roy has about the same stamina as someone that has no stamina and to get tired against calzaghe is suicide to get tired and take time off against the ropes and not know how to hold and clinch could be classed as murder in the ring.

Mismatch im telling you.
