Go Jones i say, my brain says calzaghe but my heart says Jones will win. Ill take a sig bet or name change bet. After all Snakey was one of the pioneers of the name change bets....i got beat by rocky marshmellow, i was Shakey Snakey for a couple of days after tszyu vs hatton, marshmellow asked me to change it back after tszyus speech after the fight. So im up for it.
I will do a name change bet with anyone i want Roy Jones after watching Calzaghe vs Kessler again i think Roy can do it.
When have I ever wanted a British fighter to lose?Quote:

Dont think Jones has the chin to go to war with anybody.Quote:

It could end up with jones running and Calzaghe chasing him around the ring hiting him with flurys of shots.

I don't get the point of sig or name bets, money's the only bet that matters, but even if he surprises me and does well at times I can't envision him winning.
What has where a fighter comes from have anything to do with boxing ? first off i have never really like Joe Calzaghe's fighting style, where as i always liked RJJ flashy style.Quote:

Plus RJJ was one of my hero's growing up, i think its silly just to root for a fighter. Because there from the same country as you just for the sake of it.
Agreed 100%Quote:

It's a weird concept - supporting somebody just because they were born on the same bit of land as you. Can't believe that takes presidence over the fighter in general. For example, i don't like Junior Witter much, but he lives near me.
I sincerely hope Roy Jones rolls back the years and puts on a show. My head says Calzaghe will be too busy for him. I think Roy is at that stage where he is happy just to be headlining, where Calzaghe is desperately trying to stay undefeated. Of course, Jones could be much more determined than we all think. I know he isn't the fighter he once was, but even a 50% Roy Jones is better than most of other light-heavys out there.

Generation Y mate, disposable, convenience. Fav fighter loses, hay hoe, pick a new one next week and start again ;)
RJJ will always be my favorite fighter of this era no matter if he wins or loses. And Marquez, Barrera, lost when i was here did they not ? did you see me dumping them as a fan ?Quote:

Secondly the first part Memphis all i have to say is this :confused:
No you just added Kelly Pavlik to your list ;D
How long you been watching Roy Jones?
I will bet anyone on Saddo's that what ever the result, i will Hate Calzaghe as much after the fight as i did before the fight.
GO JONES;D
Erm, I know I dont post much but Im willing to change my name for good if Calzaghe loses. Obviously anyone who bets me can decide what that will be:D
In return maybe one of those animated sig things? If thats what they are...well im pretty sure you know what im on about:D
Kelly Pavlik got added to my list when he beat Bronco McKart, and he is still one of my favorites.Quote:

I started following him all the time after that. Then got his career set and when i watched him i was thinking how the hell could he do that ? especially the way he put his hands behind his back against Glen Kelly, i'd never seen anything like that before.
