I mean for the reasons I stated, albeit a little wrist got in there, Jones dropped and hurt Joe really bad and should have finished him off, that would have been something remarkable and Roy had greatness in the palm of his hand and he pissed it away, shame on him,, Joe did what he had to do, would the win be shinier if it was Roy of 2002?? Of course it would have but it stil has some gloss on it.. Roy fought tough and battled and despite him letting Joe clown him around he still was game.. Jones at that stage is still a pretty good fighter, just not as good as Joe is at this stage... Joe deserves his credit

I only wish he fought Hopkins and Jones sooner, as I feel a bit like I do when I think of Lennox's fights against Holyfield and Tyson. Just a few years to late.. But again Joe deserves his credit
This fight is just the icing on the cake and a scalp to nail on to the end of the resume. Calzaghe was clear favourite to win this fight and he did what was expected. Couldnt ask for anything more really. Eleven rounds taken and a shocker to open proceedings with. All cracking fun.

And Ice, its just getting boring hearing you go on about Calzaghe all the time. Fenster and Conrad made some good points. You do sure talk a lot about Calzaghe, considering he's a fighter you dont have all that much time for.
