Roy Jones is going to win!

[Markusdarkus]

I wonder how many people pulling for Roy will give Calzaghe any credit when he wins and wins in a totally dominating fashion.

I've been saying this all along, if Roy comes to fight he will win, if he is there just to survive 12 rounds he won't, I don't think CAlzaghe will be hitting Roy cleanly, He might surprised me, but I haven't seen anybody even Glen Johnson or Antonio Tarver land a whole lot of clean punches. So I think Roy will be able to survive the whole fight, but I don't think he can win because of the mentality he has shown lately. He says that he wants to stand right in front of Calzaghe I think this is the right think to do, force Calzaghe to box, Roy won't be able to out brawl Calzaghe so the only chance he has is to outbox Calzaghe which I think he can do IF he throws punches.

He's expected to be dominated though... Did people give Mayweather credit for dominating Zab Judah or Carlos Baldomir? Very few. I think people are seeing that 5% chance that will allow Roy to win. Is that 5% chance worth giving Joe Calzaghe any credit for taking this fight or what he will do in it? I think not. I mean if he is able to tag Roy with every punch and get him out of there, will he get credit, I think he deserves a little, but not like the credit he got from me for beating Kessler the way he did ,and for the close fight with Hopkins.

I hope so C'MON ROY!

I'm a big Jones fan but I don't give him much of a shot. Joe is coming over here which means he KNOWS he needs to win convincingly... Furthermore, I can't see this version of Roy Jones hurting Joe.

Roy 7 years ago would have been a beast agains Joe.

All you Calzaghe whiners always bitch about him not getting respect. He has it. Most people are picking Joe... I, as a big Jones fan am also picking joe...

As I've said before the only group that outdoes the Calzaghe haters are the Calzaghe preachers...

Seen as Pavlik has been exposed for what he is i think this fight has become appealing. Jones showed enough against Tito that suggested he still has his speed and power and would even at this stage obliterate a Pavlik and be competitive with the best at 175.

Who else was Calzaghe going to fight?

I don't know who's gonna win but roy jones has a decent shot.....if not it's silly that joe is even fighting him in the first place, as much as roy is being degraded i don't see how calzaghe fans can expect much of a change in opinion of him for beating up some old man who didn't have a chance in the first place.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

Since i picked pavlik over hopkins, i'll pick jones over calzaghe to even it out.

[Drago]

i am gonna base it on history, RJJ been knocked out twicw & calzaghe aint been knocked out. regardless of who they fought joe never tasted defeat either.

Chad Dawson, Glen Johnson, rematch with Bernard Hopkins? All three are very tough fights for him. I think Glen Johnson would really surprise him.

This is what Bernard said, it didn't seem like he was just a bitter old man, he seemed to have valid reasons why Roy is going to win, but I disagree with him taking more chances personally. I also disagree with him saying Roy is slower then Calzaghe, at least in handspeed, I think Calzaghe might move faster in terms of constant footspeed, but Roy is a little faster(and a lot faster when they actually punch hard) in terms of handspeed.

I agree with Nard 100% except for the speed,you can see when both guys hit the mitts Roy is sharper, fluid and more compact.. Not to mention Roy is great with his punch selection as well, I think Jones will invest to the body early as well as uppercut and lead right... Roy will try to stay out of range and make Joe reach, which will screw with his balance since he is awkward and unorthodox, when he is off balance Roy will counter.. when in the center of the Ring look for ROy to blast the lead right.. If Joe drives him into the ropes look for Roy to lean to the side and dig the piss out of Joe's body and fire uppercuts, meanwhile Joe will pitter patter Roy and he will pay for it

I'm not a huge fan of either guy.Roy is not what he was and in his last three fights at a big championship feel level...he has been hit,hurt, & a bit hesitant.His stamina is measured,his reflexes slowed and his willingness/ability to stand inside and deliver is a question.He is now Mortal.I just can not get away from thinking Calzaghe wins this on attrition,work rate and backs Jones,working his legs much.I know Calzaghe may flurrie like my younger niece but I think he might even stop Roy?

If not,I'll be here to be laughed at and congratulate him .....and waiting for the rematch that has taken 15 + years with Hopkins.

[Tysonbruno]

All i want to say is yes he got KO'd by Tarver and Johnson but lets not forget this is Roy Jones guys and as i said in another thread Holyfield was KO'd by Bowe heavily then he looked horrible against Bobby Czyz everyone feared for his health vs Tyson and look what happened and what he went on to achieve after the Tyson fight. So i wouldn't write Roy Jones off C'MON Roy!
