    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.

    I just got finished watching the last 24/7 and Im convinced now more than ever Roy is going to win, I like Joe alot and Team Calzaghe are great down to earth people.. Roy is focused training hard and will be the one throwing punches of substance, instead of volume..

    To me this is a real test for Joe and his style, Roy is the real McCoy for crisp punching and speed.. His punches will really hurt Calzaghe, Joe has never been raked by a guy like Jones, nor has he seen that kind of speed, I hope Joe tightens up that defense, because Jones is gonna hurt him bad through the leaks..

    Also dont know how true this is since I saw it on espn chat, but I guess james Toney went on record to predict a Jones victory as well as Hopkins.

    Is that the same James Toney that said Calzaghe wasn't good enough to share a ring with Lacy?

    Thats alright my man, after I posted it I didnt see the relevance, only that I was shocked that 2 of this generations best technicicans and authentic throwback hardnosed fighters who hate Roy picked him to beat Calzaghe..

    What did you think about the rest of the post then?

    I think you always make a good case for the fighter you believe will win

    At least if you're wrong you wont make a thousand excuses sulking and crying about it.

    Like most of the guys picking Roy will. Fact.
