    Bhop: "Jones by unanimous decision based on his speed and power."

    Lewis: "Jones has unbelievable speed and Calzaghe's never fought anyone like him. Jones likes it when his opponent comes to him and unfortunately for Calzaghe, that's exactly what he does; comes to his opponent and is right in their face. I pick Jones on points, but I think it'll be a very close fight."

    Lacy: "It's going to be a hard fight to pick. If Jones doesn't stay on the ropes and give Calzaghe angles and lots of movement I'm going to go with Jones by decision. Roy can't stay on the ropes and give Joe the chance to throw his slapping punches. This is a great fight for Jones to win and set-up a big money fight again with Hopkins!"

    Glen johnson: "Roy Jones will win. I believe Calzaghe fights an amateur style. He throws a lot of slappy punches. Roy throws much more meaningful punches. In general, Calzaghe will throw more punches than Roy, but Roy's will be harder hitting. Unless the judges are blind, they will see that the harder punches make Jones the winner. They should see that Roy Jones' hard-hitting punches make the difference."

    Vernon Forest: "Roy Jones is still the best fighter in my era and still arguably one of the best fighters period. Roy with his speed can match Calzaghe, and he has power. So the power and speed is with Roy. Roy by decision."

    Malinaggi: "It's a hard fight to pick. I thought Calzaghe at first because, maybe he's too much for Roy right now. But based on what Joe just said about the three Brits beating the three Americans (Calzaghe-Jones, Hatton-Malignaggi, Haye-Barrett), I'm pulling Roy home.....Jones by decision."

    Mickey Ward: "It's a pick 'em fight. I'd pick Calzaghe but you can't count Jones out. I can't pick a winner in this fight. They're both up in age. Jones is coming off a good fight (vs. Trinidad). I like Calzaghe to outbox Jones, who has been knocked out twice, but he didn't show any effects in his last fight."

    Winky Wright:"I think Roy is going to win. I think that his punches are going to be sharper than Calzaghe's and I think that Roy is a harder puncher. I think it might go all 12 rounds, but if somebody gets stopped I think it's Calzaghe late in the fight."
    "Chad Dawson: It's a tough one to call. It's a very even match up.

    They all said the same about lacy too LOL. Secondly, don't give calaghe shit for this fight it was jones calling calzaghe out! Calzaghe humiliated him for doing so.

    Hopkins did not fight Joe when he was middleweight champion because he was waiting for his contract with King to run out. It did not matter if they offered Hokins $6 million he would have increased it again. Hopkins was waiting for the golden goose in Oscar De La Hoya. So although B Hop earned less he did make more in the long run.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
