If Roy doesn't use more footwork, he might as well not show up

[JT Rock]

Jones is going to back into the ropes like always. And just cover up. And Calzaghe will just keep punching him. Jones will than realize this muthafukka ain't really punching me. Hes just slapping me. And it doesn't hurt. Jones will proceed to open up and knock Calzaghe out. Pretty simple fight

Totally agree. Joe should have demanded the fight be at smw because he just looked awful at LH against a 43 year old man. Also Jones as we know has struggled for a long time to make weights below LH and struggled with that for a few fights after his stint at heavy weight but seems very comfortable back there now. ROY WILL WIN THIS FIGHT!!!!!!!

I just watched his fight with Trinidad again, and if he tries to fight Calzaghe, expecting to fight at that pace he is dead. Calzaghe will use intelligent pressure like he did against Hopkins, but unlike Bernard, Roy doesn't move anymore, and his defensive style of the ropes isn't cagey, he just covers up, and Calzaghe doesn't get tired, so unless he uses more footwork than I've seen from him in over 6 years, or he decides to actually put some leverage behind his punches like he used to, then he might as well not even go to New York becuase he will make Joe look a lot better than he is, and he will make himself look like a fool.

So what your trying to say is he didn't use good footwork against Woods and Ruiz?
Some of his best ever footwork was in these fights and both were in the last 6 years.


Also I'm expecting a different fighting style to the one he used against Tito he knew he could just stand there with him and I felt that he could have landed much harder punches at any time if he needed to and have knocked him out. Instead he went in there got twelve rounds under his belt and went looking for Calzaghe. Believe me Ive been following roys career for over 15 years now and he's been planning this for a long time. ROY WILL WIN THIS FIGHT!!!!!!! If he doesnt I will change my name on here to "Roy Jones is a bum" i'm that confident.

Agreed 10000000%

He didn't use great footwork against Woods or Ruiz... Ruiz was so much slower than him that he stood right in front of Ruiz, and when Ruiz decided to come forward Roy was fast enough to get out of the way. Against Woods, Roy beat him easily, but he was backed up onto the ropes more than once against Woods, which would never happen if he was fighting like he did against Toney.

Also RJJ said he didn't have trouble making 170 against Trinidad, Also don't be giving Hopkins bad rep he is still one of the top 5 fighters in world IMO.

Oh please. Lacy was made for Calzaghe. You will never find a post of mine where I stated Lacy would beat him. Cuz one doesn't exist. Other than that I'm 1-1. I was wrong on the Kessler fight. But was right on the Hopkins fight. Hopkins beat him. If you think otherwise than your a bigger idiot than i originally thought you were. And believe me I consider you a big fukking idiot.

[Pugilistic]

I feel Jones if he could would use more footwork but at this stage of his career he just can't do it.

LOL.

Classic.

Joe will brutalize this shadow, could be a Lacy but i think Jones will get TKO`d!

Jones hasn't stopped anyone since 2002 including Tito who was best at Welter and just stood in front of him all night, but sure he'll stop Calzaghe who's never been in real trouble and has great movement

I don't think he was even remotely worried about Trinidad being able to hurt him. That's why he did that. It was like a sparring session.

It's all about incentives. Sure he's not at his best, but when the incentive to win is as big as it is against Calzaghe, we may just see a rejuvinated Roy Jones.

Ok he may be nothing like the prime Roy Jones, but he can still make this a very interesting fight.

[Fenster]

The fight would be far more appealing if there was some animosity between them.

But really it's just a nice safe fight for both.

I notice everyone picking Roy is expecting the KO. Says it all really.

If they don't coast - Jones will quit when he gets tired.

When does Roy ever get tired? Calzaghe is the one who hits people once or twice then ties up for the rest of the round. Roy has always been super fit and whatever happens I can't see him tiring.

Alright then watch the last round against Kessler one punch tie up one punch tie up. get your facts straight before you comment!

Everyone gets tired. And you tire a lot faster at 39 than 29. Why do you think Roy spends so much time on the ropes?

Hopkins resorted to acting and cheating when he couldn't handle the pace.

Calzaghe sets a pace that PRIME 20+year-olds can't handle.

The more tired Roy gets the more chance of Calzaghe's punches overwhelming him. So I see Roy quitting on his stool rather than getted KO'd.
