I disagree, I recently watched the fight against and scored it for Hopkins by a point. He landed by far the more effective, accurate punches. Calzaghe mainly came forward while flailing. You can make a very good case for Calzaghe being the winner, but it was as close as the scorecards indicate.Quote:

Roy showed heart and guts and goes up in my book he looked old but would still handle most of the 175lb division.
Roy showed grit and guts he took his beating like a man.
Brilliantly put bud .. but as ever its "yeahbutnobutyeahbut" Well yall out there ... yeah but this Jones got out Jonesd then out boxed and out fought .. not to mention out thought .. but I will lol ... The legend continues !!!!:beerchug:Quote:

Calzaghe on that form would easily beat Hops (With a fair ref) and would obliterate Dawson.
Why would Dawson be an easy fight?Quote:

i backed rjj to win by ko at 5/1 and looked like a champ after round 1 but feel no pain losing that bet as it was a truly great performance from joe. unfortunately i cant see any reason why he wouldnt retire now, as who is there left to fight? only outside chance is de la hoya at a catch weight, but if he loses to pacman, even this is irrelevant.
jc for the time being is the greatest boxer on the planet as he has beat the man who beat the man over and again in his recent fights, hats off to him.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn .. in fact lol .. how come nobody has claimed the cut was a head clash .. no doubt its coming:britain:
:badass::badass::badass:
calzaghe beats a washed-up jones and acts like a wise-ass punk all the way through; throughout the run-up to the fight he said he's taking the fight because jones "is a legend." marciano was a legend too. calzaghe should have dug him up out of his grave and fought him. then he could brag and brag and brag about how he beat an all time great. calzaghe is no all-time great, and only a 17 year-old brit might not grasp this simple truth. please retire calzaghe so we don't have to see your smug wise-ass mug no more.

A 40 year old can have more legs then a 23 year old depending. Prime is not determined by age, Prime is determined when they are at their physical and mental best.
Roy's style depended on his reflexes 99 percent of the time. When you get a step slower that style isn't going to work.
When a speedy boxer lose some of his speed, he better make up for it in craftiness.
one thing i did wonder was why wasnt roys cut man using vaseline to either plug the leak, or guide it around the eye, and didnt see an iron used to reduce swelling. certainly not saying i know better, just wonder if anybody knows why...
Dr. Lucey was using swabs only, I myself did not understand why there was no vaseline being used.Quote:

I didnt even bother to watch,Im not spending 50 bucks of my money to watch the mediocre beat the crap out of the elderly.
10 years ago this would have been a good fight, but it isnt 10 years ago
