    Jones isn't "shot" he just getting older.

    In order to keep Calzaghe away from him he's going to have to keep that kind of pace for a good amount of the fight. I hope he can do it...

    I am as big a Roy Jones fan as anybody. And believe me...i would love to believe that he is still a great fighter. But Roy has slipped A LOT. Is he completely shot like lets say Eric Morales...no. But he is no where near the fighter he was BOTH mentally or physically a few years ago. For whatever the reasons...those knockouts changed him. They changed his confidence, they changed how he fights...they even changed the look in his eye. At his prime Roy had this look that just reeked of confidence. And i don't mean arrogance...but just a look of "i am simply the best athlete in this sport and i can do anything i want in the ring." That look is gone. Sure...part of it is age, the weight problems, the knockouts...or a combo of all these things...but he is no longer anywhere close to the force he was several years ago. And you can tell not only by the way he fights, but by his face and demenour. For god's sake people...he fought a SHOT and inactive Tito...and even though he won...he hardly looked spectacular. I will be rooting for him Saturday...but i know this fight should have happened years ago and Roy should have hung them up already.
