    If that's the case how did you handle back-to-back KO losses?

    You should be watching another sport now

    Read what i said Fenster i said i will stop watching the sport, for a month i didn't say i'd quit watching the sport altogether. And when he did get KO'ed back to back i did stop following boxing for quite sometime.

    One last thing don't tell me what i should and shouldn't do thank you very much.

    JMM just beat Casamayor by a spectacular KO. You felt JMM won(though he didn't) against Pacquiao, and Barrera fought a great fight against JMM before he was relatively easily handled by Pacquiao.

    Roy is expected to lose, and doesn'tt have much of chance here. He is too far over the hill mentally IMO. He is way too gunshy to win. Does he have the physical tools to beat Calzaghe? Absolutely, but will he use thoseabilities like he used to? Likely not. Perfect example of this? Jones-Tarver III, the two or three rounds he punched he badly hurt Tarver, and Tarver had no answer for Roy's offensive arsenal, but that was only for 2 rounds.

    I read exactly what you said.

    If you're gonna be so UPSET watching Roy get spanked by Calzaghe then you should have been beyond devastated watching Roy get sparked unconcious - twice. Fact.

    One last thing - I'm not telling you to do anything

    I hope its a good fight and they both come in at 110% of what they can,but really this is only for our money.

    If it had ment more to either of them on any other level , they would have made it happen earlier when it really counted.
    Now built in excuses can naturally be a part of this fight with not as much face or glory to be lost, specially in Roys case. If he comes in cold or podgy we've been had.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    I was wondering the same thing. I mean the one guy he "slap fights" with looks old and fat. Not to be mean but how can he bring Roys game up for the fight?

    For me it would be a dream come true for Roy to beat Joe convincingly but I dont think it will happen. Im not a Joe hatter just have been a big Roy fan for years.

    I love these dramatic excalamations of claims. If that's how that is worded, I don't know. Man, when Lacy lost to Calzaghe, THAT SUCKED. That like really sucked, like really really sucked. About as much as anything in any sport can crush you like. I felt like I did when the Giants dropped game 6 of the world series, it was crushing. But I even came on here that night, I don't think even something like that especially at this stage of Roy's career would conjure up a reaction like that.

    The oddest one was Yoitsdan, dude just flat out never came back after Hatton-Mayweather.
