Bets On Joe Calzaghe vs Roy Jones In Here.

[Tysonbruno]

Like I said in my post above, I support loads fighters from overseas, infact nearly all my boxing heroes are not British, but hero or not I would want them to lose if they were fighing a Brit. Just the way I'm built, no right or wrong answer on this one, guess it's just about how much pride you have in your country

So you can honestly say if any of your favourite fighters worldwide was fighting any British fighter you would be rooting for the British fighter?

Yes

I don't believe that for a second now come down off your soapbox

I just back against Brits mate. I am an Everton fan, but I will even support Liverpool in Europe, because I see it as England v Spain/Italy or whoever. And I fucking hate Liverpool

So your rooting for Calzaghe but who are you a fan of?

[leftylee]

What has where a fighter comes from have anything to do with boxing ? first off i have never really like Joe Calzaghe's fighting style, where as i always liked RJJ flashy style.

I'm with Big H on this one, you should support your home fighters. I've never understood how people like Dark Lord Al and Tyson Bruno can hate on Calzaghe so much. Or Bilbo on Hatton etc..

I'm no longer a fan of Hatton's style and I hate the way Calzaghe taps open handed. That said I'll still be screamig at the TV for them to win in the coming weeks.

I support Wolverhampton Wanderers because that's where I'm from. I support the England football team because that's where I'm from. I supported Great Britain in the Olympics becuase that's where I'm from.

Sure I apprceciate how great Brazil play the beautiful game but that doesn't mean I'd support them if they were playing England.

Nice analysis I can see where your coming from.

Though Junior Witter I will NEVER ever root for. I can't stad that guy. So boring and so arrogant.

Every other British fighter bar Calzaghe I root for at all times. I wanted Calzaghe to beat Hopkins, but I wanted Kessler to beat Calzaghe.

[Gandalf]

Calzaghe is my main man and I'm willing to take a bet with anyone. He will beat Jones Jr. and do it with style. If he is anything near his best he will overwhelm Jones Jr with his volume down the stretch. Anything less and its a decent points win. He cannot afford to get sloppy though, and he certainly shouldnt treat Jones as anything less than a legitimate challenge. Jones Jr is a legend and should be treated as such.

Come on Joe!!!

No way. I will NEVER root for Liverpool under any circumstances.

Call yourself a true Evertonian BIG H. Shame on you

I am actually a big fan of JCs. I don't think he is as good as he was and his punches are no where near as hard as they were (because of his hands) but I am one of the few that have watched him as far back as the ABAs when he really showed what an amazing boxing talent he is. As far as Jones goes I am a huge admirer and I discount his losses to Tarver and Johnson, because I really believe going up to 193 and probabaly 200 on fight night against Ruiz had to affect him coming back down. Taking that into consideration I'd have to have as one of the greatest p4p fighters of all time and probably the fighter I have most enjoyed watching....


Still hope he loses though

When have I ever wanted a British fighter to lose?

'ROUTING' for means WANTING to win. That's a lot different to objectively thinking somebody will win!!

What has where a fighter comes from have anything to do with boxing ?

It's called National Pride mate and it's what makes used to make this country great. Without it who are we? That's the problem with your generation mate and that's why this country is going down the shitter.
Where does where a footballer come from have anything to do with football? but 3 billion people watch the world cup to route for their country

Your starting to piss me off seriously now, what the hell has where a fighter comes from have to do with boxing ? are you that ignorant ? its all about individual tastes in boxing you can root for whoever you like.

I guess im a true fan of the sport then that can, root for any fighter from any country. For there skills, heart, determination, whichever attribute i like most about a paticular fighter. And i don't just follow the crowd and just root for any fighter from my country.

Secondly who are you to tell me who i can or can't root for ? i didn't know you was almighty god.

And our country is going the shitter because im rooting for RJJ over Joe Calzaghe ? grow up do you know how ridiculous that sounds ?

When two guys enter the ring all that BS about country vs country, goes out the window. There risking there lives in there, and if you like a fighter who doesn't come from your country, more than the fighter that comes from your country. For there style then you should root for them for whichever attribute you like the most or you find more appealing.

Thats exactly why i rooted for Floyd Mayweather over Ricky Hatton, i appreciate Floyd Mayweather's boxing/defense/slickness style better. Than Ricky Hatton's brawling/hugging/mauling kind of style.

I think your way out of line to put me in the majority of bad teenager's today, when im nothing like most of the teenager's today. I don't drink i don't smoke im not in a gang, i don't carry a weapon i look after my girl i look after my mom, and i will look after my baby when it arrives.

Lastly as i said before i couldn't give a shit about football, i never liked watching it. Most of my friends do but i don't follow the crowd, i either like something or i don't end of.

[smashup]

Jones only.....ONLY chance is to KO Joe in the first 3 to 4 rounds - literally throw the kitchen sink at him as he hasn't got a f*cking chance when he starts blowing out his ass after the 5th and Joe will do what he always does and simply run away with it.
Don't get me wrong Jones is dangerous in the opening rounds and Joe will have to be very careful early on but Jones hasn't shown anything like his old self in years now and let's not forget who he is fighting here.
Calzaghe on a huge points margin or maybe a stoppage

Ice, you need to chill out dude! Nobody is seriously having a dig at you as a person, afterall nobody actually knows each other personally on here.

I said before we should just agree to disagree. I support British fighters becuase I am British, that is the nature of being a sports fan in general imo.

You don't agree, you support the fighters you like best. That's cool, just different to how others see it...

Have some rep off me (well at least I'll try and give you some as I've only just got 100 posts so no idea how to do it)

No i don't you do your insulting me and basically calling me a traitor, how do you want me to respond by licking up your ass ? by the way stop calling me a little stumble, im 19 years old i ain't no kid. I know about the world.

Just because i root for fighters they ain't in my country, doesn't mean i ain't proud to be English or ETC. I just don't see boxing that way i think its individual tastes, and countries shouldn't come into it IMO.
