Is Roy Jones Jr traning hard enough??

[Taeth]

I really don't like the fact he hasn't brought in new sparring partners. IMO what he has always done obviously isn't working at the top level anymore. I think he needs young blood in there to spar with. The guys he always spars with are likely guys he is used to. I think he needs to get a variety of opposition that are always different. In 24/7 I know it can be misleading, but I didn't see the same intensity in Jones' training as I did in Joe's. I don't get the sparring partners, fast hands or not one of them is obesse, Roy needs guys in great shape that can throw 100+ fast punches a round at him. I don't see why he can't try to get guys like Andre Ward or Dirrell into his camps, or Demetrius Andrade or whatever young talent he can.

Well Dirrell has a fight this weekend. Andrade just fought his first pro fight, I don't think Andrade would benefit him that much. Ward could be a little useful though. TBH though, I think he needs to find some more experienced, crafty guys, closer to what he's going in against.

I read he has been sparring a couple of young southpaws with good records but he didn't name them in boxing news.

Unless he is keeping a lot of secrets on 24/7 it sounds like their are southpaws he usually trains with. It doesn't keep you honest.

They were just examples, but Dirrell could have had his training camp with Roy's.

Doesn't matter how hard he trains. He gets his ass whooped. Seriousley I been thinking hard about this fight, and the more I think the more it's not going to be close. Jones is shot. Calzaghe wide UD.

your probably rite lefty, but i still want jones to win but if calzaghe retires il still be happy just to have him outta the sport

In the 24/7 his camp did seem to be a little relaxed, pretty chill stuff but I have no idea how he has trained throughout his career, how hard he goes in camp or anything. The more I think about it though the more I think it just doesn't matter I think Calzaghe is going to win.

Regardless of roy jones jrs training, it all depends on his mindset coming into the ring. He could be in the best shape of his life but that isnt going to help him if hes gun shy. If he fights scared, he loses. Calzaghe will pump out punches all night long and Jones lets him and then he will lose a lopsided UD. If jones turns up in the right mindset, uses his right hand effectively then i see a possible tko for roy. Calzaghe is a south paw and we all saw him get caught by bhop in the first round with a right hand straight down the middle. If Bhop can land rights on calzaghe then roy can do it with ease. All he needs to do is turn up to win, not to survive.
