Just like Hopkins, Kessler, Lacy... :)
A few years ago this would have been a hell of a fight but not in 2008 and you're well aware of this.
None of them have the hand speed that Jones has

It's a straw for you to clutch at.

Oh please. Lacy was made for Calzaghe. You will never find a post of mine where I stated Lacy would beat him. Cuz one doesn't exist. Other than that I'm 1-1. I was wrong on the Kessler fight. But was right on the Hopkins fight. Hopkins beat him. If you think otherwise than your a bigger idiot than i originally thought you were. And believe me I consider you a big fukking idiot.

I feel Jones if he could would use more footwork but at this stage of his career he just can't do it.

Your so lame, you make me smile.
Re: If Roy doesn't use more footwork, he might as well not show up
Against Trinidad Roy knew what was going to happen.
Tito isn't a defensive wizard nor an evasive master. Roy iknew he'd be coming forward in straight lines; Over confidence in his power has bred this into Tito.
Roy may not have appeared fleet footed, but his little shuffling movements meant he was getting his feet into the right locations to punch accurately with force.
Roy actually boxed a lot better than people give him credit for in that fight. It may have been his physical superiority over Trinidad that allowed him to do it, but he showed sound fundamentals and calculated movement.
Watch it again. Tito moved, Roy shuffled a little with his feet....placed them and hit Tito....Tito went back came forward again and got hit.
Easy peasy.

I don't think he was even remotely worried about Trinidad being able to hurt him. That's why he did that. It was like a sparring session.
It's all about incentives. Sure he's not at his best, but when the incentive to win is as big as it is against Calzaghe, we may just see a rejuvinated Roy Jones.
Ok he may be nothing like the prime Roy Jones, but he can still make this a very interesting fight.
Re: If Roy doesn't use more footwork, he might as well not show up
The fight would be far more appealing if there was some animosity between them.
But really it's just a nice safe fight for both.
I notice everyone picking Roy is expecting the KO. Says it all really.
If they don't coast - Jones will quit when he gets tired. ;)

When does Roy ever get tired? Calzaghe is the one who hits people once or twice then ties up for the rest of the round. Roy has always been super fit and whatever happens I can't see him tiring.
