    yea Joe didn't land shit, i'm sure it was Jones' corner that cut open his eye to make the fight more dramatic ala WWE
    Yeah because cuts can't be caused by glancing blows? In fact its more likely to happen from a glancing blow, how often are cuts around the eyes caused by cleanly landed punches? Its usually the cuff or the seem of the glove that cause cuts like that, or a glancing blow which was Calzaghe mostly landed. Roy landed more flush punches than Joe did, it just wasn't enough when Calzaghe half landed twice as many punches.
    Jones is shot dude, he looked good on Saturday against another shot fighter the same way he looked good against Trinidad who also is *gasp* shot.

    with that said you're crazy, Jones whole strategy as of late is lay on the ropes and cover up, Taylor, Hopkins, Dawson, Kessler, hell ever Miranda will be able to keep him on the ropes and make him pay when he tries to counter, JONES IS SHOT! basically been getting worse since his 3rd fight against Tarver, didn't look all the great with the 2 KO losses back to back either

    Taeth Roy is my favourite fighter second only to Ali... but Calzaghe carried him.

    He looked pretty decent against Sheika but I don't think that is because he has much more to give... I think that he's just found his level.

    On his day I'm sure that there is still a winnable big fight out there for him, but the odds are against it and I don't think that he needs the $$$ or to help his legacy... both of those are solid.

    The guy just can't let go.

    He dominated SHeika, even before this fight I was saying he didn't look that bad against Calzaghe, how exactly did Calzaghe carry him? Calzaghe threw almost a thousand punches, he was trying to get through, but Roy's defense is really good.

    Shot is Ali losing to Berbick, Leonard getting ko'ed by Hector Camacho, Duran losing to somebody called Omar Gonzalez.

    If Roy was truly shot, Calzaghe would have landed way more, Trinidad would have stopped him.

    Not in the eyes of the haters Taeth. It just confirms that A Trinidad was also shot, and that B Calzaghe is and always has been fucking shit

    I'm not saying Calzaghe is fucking shit, just that he isn't a finisher, and hasn't been for years, just liek Hopkins and Jones haven't been either, but Roy was far from helpless against Joe, and saying Trinidad is shot is laughable people throw that word around as much as robbery and All time great, and its misplaced as often as either of those two.
