Take RJJ lightly at your peril Joe Balls and see what happens, even though way past his best RJJ will be your toughest fight yet and i wouldn't be thinking about Kelly Pavlik's ugly mug for one minute if i were you!
I think Roy can win this!

didnt calzaghe just go on about how RJJ is his last fight and he wants it in Cardiff in front of 60,000 fans as a sending off type of deal??
i'm confused..
i dont see joe fighting kelly, esp. since this fight isn't happeneing for another 2 months..
Anytime fighters talk about other opponets other than the one in front of them it makes me cringe. If i'm in joe's corner i don't even want to hear the name pavlik, i would live, eat, breathe nothing but trying to put a hurtin on jones....if he can.
But the WBO super middle belt is owned by the undisputed best 168 fighter. All the alphabet belts are bs with their super champions and champions emeritus nonsense. They do help sell fights though so you can't blame Calzaghe for wanting to keep it because as far as selling future Calzaghe 168 fights goes it's worth money to him.Quote:

As dangerous as Roy will probably still prove to be... This will be fairly light work for Joe... Maybe hit some bumps along the way but Joe shouldn't have much trouble.
