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

[OumaFan]

This is why I've been saying all along I think Roy's chances of winning are very slim.

He just backs up to the ropes and covers up. Can you think of a worse guy to do that against than Calzaghe? Joe will just unload those fast combos all night while Roy covers up against the ropes. He might not even land clearly all that much but he'll certainly win the rounds unless Roy either finds a way to hurt him or turns back the clock and discovers the legs to box and move for 12 rounds. I obviously don't see that happening.

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

Just like Hopkins, Kessler, Lacy...

A few years ago this would have been a hell of a fight but not in 2008 and you're well aware of this.

Anything can happen in this fight Jones still has fast Hands

I agree as well as been at the top of the mountain and then knocked off by tarver and then kicked while he was down by Johnson and Jones has picked himself up and restablished his confidence and evolved his style to compensate for his diminished reflexes... Again Jones has been humbled and battled thru adversity, that alone gives Roy a big advantage over Joe who hasnt experienced that, and at his age its gonna be a hard lesson to learn on the job and Roy will get him in the deep waters and win a war of attriction to a 12 round win....

It's a straw for you to clutch at.

I'm not worried at all about this fight. Now where did I bookmark that link for the gong photograph?

Although I would say its that elementery, I would have to agree you got the right Idea.. I give Jones the edge in Hanspeed as well as Sharp accurate punching not fast openhanded blows like Calzaghe uses more often than not... Joe got raked quite a few times by Hopkins right hands, if Roy landed those same punches Calzaghe would have been counting light bulbs

[OumaFan]

Jones to me at least hasn't been showing that kind of power lately. He still hits hard enough to get people's attention but it didn't seem to me in any of the Tarver fights, the Johnson, the Ajamu fight, or Hanshaw or Tito that he was really punching that hard. He's still fast but he doesn't seem like he's got the explosiveness he used too.

Hopkins at 175 seemed to be hitting fairly hard with his right hand, look at the Tarver fight, he stunned Tarver with it more than a few times.

Anything's possible but Calzaghe's got a good enough chin, I doubt he gets hurt that badly.

Like I posted before... I guarantee Roy will knock him down and have him on queer street... Roy will punch thru the open handed blows of Joe and will land the more meaningful shots enough to discourage Joe from his usual workrate.

Hopkins throws like 5 punches around and could have easily gotten the nod in that fight, Roy will land more and will do more damage

Joe has a great chin but Roy digs to the body with the best of them and will rake Joes ribs as well
