Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
Doubt it. Most Calzaghe fans seem to be Roy Jones fans too.
Obviously can recognise quality when they see it ;)

Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
I have to take my hat of to Calzaghe. He just keeps winning even when I don't expect him to. He's got great stamina, speed and chin.
But he doesn't realy excite me for some reason. Maybe it's because he's not got a huge punch. I'd like him to be able to dish out more KO's, it makes for more excitement. Technicaly he's very good thou.
RJJ on the other hand is a true legend. At his peak he fought and beat everyone out there and did it with style. I'd like to see him do the same again against Calzaghe. Unfortunately I can't see it happening.

Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
Joe has let himself down in between Eubank to Lacy, so much so that shit Sven Ottke was rated higher than him. But history cannot be changed and he complied with a shit promoter when he should have been a bigger star and earned more money that Naz and Lewis. He is making something up for the lost time but cannot regain those years, as someone said a great fighter but not a legend.

i will personally congratulate roy if he wins, even though i am a calzaghe fan, but if jones does do it I hope people on this site will not slag calzaghe off to much, hell he will of fought in the states in his last 2 fights

Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
Man if Jones wins (which i hope for) i dont wat i will do. but 1 things for sure i will laugh the whole fukin night. and make a kick ass thread about it. Roy please just pull this one off for everybody.:)

Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
Roy Jones JR , a shell of the former p4p greatest of his era.
Fighting the most protected long reining champion of all time.
I'm hoping so much that Roy can turn back the clock and beat Calzaghe , but maybe he is to far gone I'm not sure.
but for the record i had a dream Jones floors Calzaghe in the second round , the rest i don't remember.
COME ON ROY 1 MORE GREAT SHOW .
-
Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
If Roy were actually able to pull out an impressive win, it would really be magic. He and Hopkins would both be on top once again and rematch, Id freaking love it.

He really should have found a way to make the Steve Collins fight happen, especially. At a time when he could have fought Benn and Eubank, they were fighting each other, but once Collins beat Eubank, he was the man at SMW. All Roy had to do was whip Steve Collins, and nobody could say he ducked anybody at SMW when you consider the state of the division at that time. Because Roy never fought ANY of the big European names...Collins, Benn, and Eubank at 168 and Dariusz at 175, it leaves room to question his choices. I think he beats all of the names above, but considering that he moved up to a weaker LHW division when there were better fights at SMW, he will always suffer a little in my book. It's also too bad he never fought Mike Nunn, but that wasn't his fault that Nunn got himself beat by a journeyman.

The possibility exists that when Calzaghe beats Jones we'll get a break from tysonbruno for a while.

Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
There won't be much crying. Calzaghe is the clear underdog in my book. He is expected to lose.

I cant imagine many folks aligning themselves with the notion that "Calzaghe is expected to lose."
If anything, I imagine most are leaning towards Joe, not only on account of his unbeaten streak and capacity for suprise, but also because many will think of Roy vs Johnson and Tarver.
There IS a chance, and maybe a decent one, that Roy pulls this off (Im picking him SD) but it relies almost entirely on which version of Roy shows up. The Jones that fought Ruiz, and the Jones that fought Trinidad have a very good shot at this.
We know which version of Joe is showing up , and he's showing up to win, as usual. I dont think anyone is 'expecting' Joe to lose.

Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
Can someone please tell me what the hell Roy Jones Junior has done in his last 6 fights that give people the impression he can beat Calzaghe ??

I don't think he's that far gone. You don't just lose all that talent. I actually think he's going to pull it out. I'm rooting for him. I like both fighters to be honest. I'd just like to see him do it and go out right at the very top.

He probably did miss out on some good fights with those guys, thou I think he would have beaten them all. Benn might've put up an excellent show and that would've been a cracking fight. He was too good for Eubank, and Collins would maybe have been bullied a bit with RJJ's bigger natural size and strength.
I've no doubt RJJ, would've fought them if matches could be made, doubt few of those guys would be keen thou (maybe Collins), unless the money was huge.
I remember watching the Jonathan Ross show around the time all the Brits were fighting each other. Benn and Eubank were in the studio and then he put up a video link to James Toney (who was immense around this time, and IBF champion If I remember). Toney then called them cowards for not fighting him and then said exactly what he would do to them. Benn muttered something like 'idiot' and 'fool' to Toney. Eubank didn't say a word and was visibly shaken, and actualy looked confused and scared. Not long after that RJJ destroyed Toney, I doubt any of those 2 would've liked to step into the ring with him, they were happy making enough money just fighting each other and also the likes of Watson and Collins. IMO RJJ would've beaten them all, with a bit to spare.

When he does win I'm sure you'll tell us it was only because Roy was so old, if they'd fought ten years ago etc. etc. I can hardly wait.

Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
Off topic but....
As I read the title of this thread this verse popped into my mind for some reason.
"There's gonna be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing if my burglar alarm starts ringing" -
:cool:

Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
Rot has a very good chance. Joe doesn't have the ROY kryptonite of power to take him out with one shot.

He may be the underdog to you, but not according to the bookies.
Calzaghe is around 1/3
and Jones Jr. is around 5/2
not a huge difference, but Calzaghe is the clear favorite.

Re: Gunna be a lot of crying in here come the 8th November
It will be a good fight, I can't see jones holding back much tbh. his strategy will be to try and make calzaghe go on the back foot and counterpunch. I think Jones is still a bit too fast for Calzaghe to be successful if he does this.
We all know he should have fought Pavlik though. He could have had that fight now and fought Jones in the spring for a last big payday, which to me made the most sense.
I would love to see a spark of Jones of old turn up. Prime for prime I think it was close between these two, but that doesn't define greatness. Greatness is about stepping outside of your comfort zone and defying all odds, imo Calzaghe has not done this, regardless of how good he is.

benn said toney was thick as 2 short planks, its easy for toney to be tough when your 1000's of miles away. Eubank visibly shaken thats rediculous, i seen that jonathan ross show loadsa times.
Benn always said he wanted RJJ & thought that RJJ would prob beat him but said that he would be so up for that fight, it would of been a dream fight. Collins said he wanted to go to florida & knock on RJJ door for a fight. Eubank in his prime & mentally motivated beats RJJ.

Admitedly I've only seen the interview once, when it happened, so maybe my impression of Eubank being scared could be wrong, it was many, many years ago. That's just how I remember it.
I heard that Benn wanted to fight RJJ, dunno if it was bluster or not, but for some reason it never happened. Collins I do agree with you thou, don't think he would've ducked RJJ.
Still can't see Eubank beating him thou. But it's one of those things we'll never know for sure.

I believe the match with Benn was there to be made and Imo,Jones wanted nothing to do with him in a couple of ways.....he was making out big on HBO with less risk.Benn also stated that he may be hit 10 to 1 but it would never equal McClellan's shots.Would have been a pretty nice dust up while it lasted.On paper,A prime Jones just might have popped him all night but would have loved to see Roy take one on the chin and wonder.

Agreed.
