Stallone: Calzaghe will demolish Jones.

[Trainer Monkey]

Really? You can get the court transcript online and I've read them but only saw Wepner claiming this and never anything in writing... I'm not saying it was never said but just that there's no proof... He's lost 2 court cases so far.

Allways get it in writing,never take a promissory note on anything, and this drives the point home
I allways tell my fighters,we'll go over the contracts
It takes longer that way
But you'll get seriously screwed hardcore if you dont

Yes indeed... I used to work for a debt collector.. And if it's not in writing or doesn't have a signature, by law (in court) you are going to have no claim to it...

On the other side of the coin, If a clear statement is written on a cocktail napkin and has a signature on it declaring all to be true and accepted, then you could take over Microsoft in court with it.

It's about what is in paper and what has a signature at the bottom... That's it..

No S,I keep a hard and email copy of every contract Ive had a fighter sign, just to make sure

Word Rambo:

"Joe would have worked in any era," Sly began. "He's like one of those classical 1940's fighters who could go 15 rounds comfortably, and he doesn't have to power you out with one shot because he's in unbelievable shape. He will sit there and pepper the hell out of you with an unorthodox style. This (Calzaghe's style of fighting) hasn't been seen in America for some time, so we dismiss it.

"Everyone expects this thudding, crashing, bone-jarring punching style - supposedly this determines if a man is tough. What makes Joe a tougher man in my estimation is that he puts himself in the teeth of the fire for a longer period to achieve his goal. Joe is one of the best boxers of his generation, no question."


High praise indeed from the man whose famous movie creation inspired countless real life fighters to get in the ring in the first place. After speaking of Calzaghe's overall ability and greatness, Stallone focused on the upcoming fight with Roy Jones Junior.

"I've seen Jones shut down huge men like Vigill Hill and I saw him blast John Ruiz almost off his feet, so he definitely has that ability to rock an opponent to his boots," Stallone said. "But that was Roy Jones four, five, six years ago. I don't believe he has the speed any more to catch Calzaghe with the overhand right or one of those weird, sweeping hooks from the floor, similar to the punches from add angles that Naseem Hamed used to throw. He will be easy to back up and he will fight in spurts.

"We have seen the emergence of European boxers, along with Latino boxers, and they have come to far surpass the quality of American boxers. American boxing has to accept that it's a rebuilding process or maybe a downward spiral. Our day of dominance over other nations is over. Joe is going to demolish Jones."

Shit actor(watched his last Rambo film last night) but top fightfan!


Sly knows what he is talking about.

In a REAL fight, Carl Weathers would've ripped Stallone's head off his shoulders. I know it has nothing to do with the point of the thread, but I just felt like saying it.

yeah man defo, he was so bloody good on speed bag, on the rope. defo could of been a boxer

cant believe rocky beat him in a sprint in rocky 3. no way

Judge Dredd really knocked this one out the park.
