    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.

    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....

    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

    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

    I dont even think jc's got that good of a chin either. In the kessler fight he was clearly hurt and if kess had alittle more to him he could of finshed that fight, just depends on jones current power. I just hope jones wins bcos all jc nuts will be saying jc is the altimes greatest etc and roy's legacy would be hurt aswell which he doesnt deserve.
