Madison Square Garden on September 20th.

Frank Warren suing Calzaghe.

Joe Calzaghe Enterprises is promoting the fight along with Roy Jones's promotional company. Sounds a bit like Trotters Independent Traders.

Even more interesting is that Jones already plans for his fight after Calzaghe...

..." Jones added that after Calzaghe, he would like to go back up to heavyweight, where he made history by winning a title against John Ruiz in 2003 to become the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in more than a century. His target: Samuel Peter, who owns one of the heavyweight titles. "They call Samuel Peter 'The Nightmare,'" Jones said. "I'll give him a nightmare. I like to do stuff people think I can't do. But I am really looking forward to fighting Joe first. "...

I like this fight for Roy since he has everything in the world to gain by a win.. I wholeheartedly believe that Roy can turn back the clock here and put on a great performance utilizing his new adapted style. Joe just dosent posess the power to really cause Jones any worry seeing Roy still has the Handspeed advantage and the power anvantage ... I am scoring tickets for this one

[rjj tszyu]

I truly believe Roy will turn on the style against Joe and make his hand/foot speed and power advantages count. I really can't wait for this. Ive been waiting to see my hero shut Joe up for over a decade now. wooooohooooo

[CountryBoy]

Jones Jr vs Peter..... Thats a laugh, Jones Jr might have a chance

Why isn't this fight in Whales... Hopkins-Calzaghe, one of the classic matchups in the last 10 years, didn't even sell out from the looks of it over here in north america. Cardiff is a much better location for this fight, and Joe deserves to have this fight in his back yard... I am worried for my favorite fighter ever... Joe is going to eat him alive.

I think so too. Calzaghe is a perfectionist and is most likely smarting from not being able to dazzle against Hopkins. He is indeed most likely going to make Roy pay instead.

Sept 20. Madison Square Garden.

Can't wait to see Joe get outed as the slapper he is.

[Violent Demise]

Kind of surprised it didn't land in Vegas

[Von Milash]

kirkland beat me to it.

[CutMeMick]

No worries.

Not really looking foward to this mismatch, Jones will be so tired after 6rds he will barely be able to stand let alone fight back.

Jones will take a whooping until he gets stopped probably against the ropes getting nailed with combo after combo.

Jones is 5 times the star of Hopkins, has a lot more fans especially in New York. Calzaghe fought in his backyard his whole career, MSG is a good venue for this. That way they each would probably bring half the fans each.

I have this frightening image of Roy voluntarily laying on the ropes letting Calzaghe bitch slap him to victory At this point I just want to see Calzaghe lose but I'm not sure Roy is going to do it, not confident at all. Will be rooting hard for him though.

[Youngblood]

Would love to see RJJ beat the snot out of Calzaghe for his "I'm holier then thou Kelly Pavlik so I won't fight you" B.S. talk ...

But logic and reason says Joe will win this. Either way I think it is a good fight for them both for the $$ aspect, and the right venue.

[Tins06]

Roy Jones will have no legs come the 6th round.

I think this one is gonna get messy Calzaghe UD
