So i wouldn't write Roy Jones off C'MON Roy!;);D

To me this is a real test for Joe and his style, Roy is the real McCoy for crisp punching and speed.. His punches will really hurt Calzaghe, Joe has never been raked by a guy like Jones, nor has he seen that kind of speed, I hope Joe tightens up that defense, because Jones is gonna hurt him bad through the leaks..

Also dont know how true this is since I saw it on espn chat, but I guess james Toney went on record to predict a Jones victory as well as Hopkins.

Is that the same James Toney that said Calzaghe wasn't good enough to share a ring with Lacy?

:beat: (the wanker smiley is for Toney not you JT ;D)

---

Thats alright my man, after I posted it I didnt see the relevance, only that I was shocked that 2 of this generations best technicicans and authentic throwback hardnosed fighters who hate Roy picked him to beat Calzaghe..

What did you think about the rest of the post then?

I think Roy will start well, but just get outworked over the stretch.

He won't be back to his best, but he isn't shot IMO. He got caught against Tarver, and you could see he wasn't physically himself against johnson. He was back a little for the Tarver rubber but it was the hesitancy that cost him most there. With joe's lack of power Roy should be more confident (in theory anyway).

I get confused in the final week of a big event everytime and lose perspective. I've been thinking that this fight wouldbe a wide UD for Joe since it was signed, but all the guys like JT Rock and Hopkins and Lewis are making me jittery.

There's something about a good fighter that can get you out of your rythm. After watching alittle of Hop/Joe again today I couldn't help but notice how Joe wasted so many opportunities to do some damage against the ropes, he was hurrying his shots
when in reality he had a little more time to pick them at some instances in the later rounds. Similar could be said of ~Toney against Jones, people say James was weight drained, but i think the early rounds just took him out of his rythm, and when some opportunities came he couldnt take them - come to think of it it happened to Pavlik as well. Anyway I'm rambling aimlessly, I just hope Joe keeps his composure, and is patient even if the early rounds aren't going his way, just believe in his stamina down the stretch and make roy work.

Throw Prince Bada and Hanshaw in the mix who at times gave Jones trouble you must say who the hell on the top level has he beaten since Ruiz if you consider that top level. Jones is still quick but it will take alot more than quickness in there Saturday and more then lead right hands.Call me crazy I think Joe with his high output could even stop Roy late in the fight.

---

Tito looked way better then he did against Winky Wright or Ricardo Mayorga. He didn't get down on himself. I know Joe is likely going to win, but don't take away from the Jones-Trinidad fight, Trinidad looked better than he had in years. Who did Roy beat? Antonio Tarver the first time they fought, by wide decision IMO.

---

On your card. On mine I had 7 to 5 also for Jones but many did give Tarver the nod in which Jones looked horribly by lying on the ropes flailing away like a drunken sailor. Tito IMO opinion looked bad his reaction's were bad after the fourth round at least the Mayorga fight he stopped him and the Winky fight he still kept punching just couldn't get anything through.

I think you always make a good case for the fighter you believe will win ;)

At least if you're wrong you wont make a thousand excuses sulking and crying about it.

Like most of the guys picking Roy will. Fact.

Yea believe me I have ate alot of post fight poop around here, but hey that goes with the territory I guess.. I'm trying to think of a few were I got owned on my prediction..

I came around after Lacy got whooped but still got a red ass for it;D

Pavlik/Miranda.. That humble pie tasted like S*&t ;D

Hatton/Castillo..

Calzaghe/Kessler

Margarito/Cintron II

Cotto/Mosely

Pac/JMM although I thought JMM should have got the nod or a draw, respect to Pac.

Im sure there are many others, but you take the good with the bad and make sure your humble in victory and gracious in defeat and no one can say a bad thing about your sportsmanship or your integrity ;)

Zag :confused:

I think he's making a lame attempt at giving Calzaghe a nick name.

Fail.

Jones is the boxer because of who I started to really love boxing, my second all time favorite maybe after the Pep. However, I don't want to see him beat the crap out of middle class fighters to then get his bells rang against a top opponent. Retire Roy, ride the sunset on your stellar resume and thanks for all the memories.
