    I don't like this fight - especially with them all lovey-dovey joint promoting it.

    It's just two old boys with a plan to make EASY SAFE money.

    better late than never i say

    If its the jones that fought trinidad a few months back then i really expect nothing more than a comfortable JC points victory.

    But if..........IF RJJ can role back the clocks and produce one last vintage performance we could just have us a decent fight on our hands.
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    The only scenario that would make it semi-shocking is if Roy sparked Calzaghe out.

    But that wont happen. They are too freindly (even if they pretend not in the bulid up).

    It will be like all old-timer fights. A totally predictable 12 round SAFETY first fest.

    Calzaghe won't get any credit for the win.

    to be honest i am a little disappointed in him, he would of got much more credit in beating Pavlik.

    If Roy doesn't wait to get started like he did against Tito, perhaps he can claim most of the first 8 rounds and get a sloppy SD, but I also see him getting worn out against a tireless Joe. I believe it's possible for Roy to win, but I just see Calzaghe doing it again.
    Oops

    ....what happens if Roy legitimately beats Calzaghe....and even KO's Joe.




    As unlikely as that may be you still have to consider the possibilities. If Joe KO's RJJ then no big surprise but if the Joe gets KO'd it would be a shocker

    It's going to be a tough nights work for Joe since he simply doesn't have the power to keep Roy honest. Joe will win IMO but it'll be a sloppy decision victory, the margin depends on how much Roy has left in his legs.

    I think it's the right fight for Calzaghe to end his career.. and a good one for Roy because he wont end-up lying on his back unconcious

    But it's more an exhibition than a fight.

    I like Joe alot but at his age father time has to come knocking soon and against a RJJ that has the handspeed and power advantage along with having had to deal with adversity(Johnson&Tarver) so I would give him the slight edge in experience... People point to Jones as shot but fact of the matter is Roy has adopted a very effective style with less leaping in and a tighter defense thats not predicated so much on Reflex as it is basic fundamental boxing. Its not fair to compare a prime Jones to his current self, in his prime no one could touch him, but this version aint to shabby either. I would rate an 08 version of Jones better than anyone that Calzaghe has faced in relation to the speed and power..

    not a great fight for joe for me as there is not a great deal to gain from this, and roy seems re focused and hungry again, if roy gets in his rythym early and doesnt let joe dictate the pace of the fight, could be a long night for joe, i just hope i can afford to be there to see it happen

    Thats a fight id rather him take but you know if Calzaghe won his haters will still say so what you beat a Middleweight. i have come to realise this after Lacy was called a "bum" Kessler "euro hype" then Joe did beat anyone "P4P" now its didnt beat anyone prime "P4P"

    And Joe has looked bad in one fight and didnt show a lot of power now he is "past it" and "Feather fisted" forgetting the beating he put on the iron chinned Lacy or the body work that nearly had Kessler down.

    to be fair though a undefeated undisputed middleweight champ looks alot better than on a resume than a faded legend.

    Of course i want the Pavlik fight style wise Joe cannot fail to impress in that fight.

    It has to happen, weather Arum cashes in on Pavlik yet im unsure.

    Hopefully Calzaghe doesn't retire after Jones and we might just get to see Pavlik - Calzaghe.
