Calzaghe vs jones knockdown

[Dropanuke]

I post these threads because it was a curious situation.
When Roy knocked Joe down he didn't go for the ko, why is this? I mean if you watch Roy when joes up it looks like he's thinking of 2 things

Calzaghe has excellent recuperative powers, Roy was anxious about gasing.
Roy was an old fighter.

Yeah, that sums it up.

When Roy fight Tito he had him down a couple times but never once looked like raising the pace. Jones always boxes in his comfort zone but he would have been better suited to go all out when he had Joe hurt because he was never going to have the engine to stay with Joe for 12 rounds. Maybe he thought he could land that shot again.

Ok so what was stopping from doing a Roy jones special warp speed combo and doing Joe there and then and walking off and saying hey bhop u lost and I didn't?

If he could have he would have but Calzaghe was a different animal to anyone he had faced before and he would have always had trouble with him.

Roy was verging on 40 years of age.

Yep, Roy was a whole 3 years older than Joe

3 yrs in our age....10yrs in fighting age.....

Jones has not been able to be a fight stopper in years....Since before his move to HW....Counting Sheika and lacy in legit stoppages on a world level is silly......Sheika was knocked down 4 times by gust of wind on his way to the arena and Lacy had to have Andrew Hartly removed from his camp as a sparring partner due to Andrew going too rough on him when he was preparing for Roy......

Jones was happy enough to last the Calzaghe fight without being stopped....I think he went into the fight with that mindset

Thing is, if they had fought earlier, Joe may well have sparked Roy. he's just been over here in Guernsey for the channel islands sports personality of the year. He said he couldn't come back because he hates losing weight and he'd have 35lb to lose and that his hands are ruined. He keeps in shape but hasn't touched a punch bag since his last camp because of his hands.

I didn't go up but according to some of the lads, the Joe they saw in real life was huge compared to the fighter they saw on telly. They reckon he was at least 15 stone and my mate is 6 foot but he said Joe was taller than him, even though Joe is down as 5,11".

did you just make this up?

[Dropanuke]

Perhaps Roy should have tried emulating what bhop did because bhops plan was spot on, if it wasn't for bhop being older he may have won it, agree??
I watched jones calzaghe live and was biting my nails and I really thought that if anyone can beat Joe it's got to b Roy but didn't work out! Alot of people slate him and they shouldn't, he beat the necessary people to claim the belts

Different fighters though. Roy was at his peak early,
Joe later.

calzaghi had a couple of off nights early in his reign as he did late, i woulnt say he peaked pretty consistent all the way through his career

he had more defining fights towards the end but imo was no better a fighter

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Infact he was probably worse because his hands went to shit.
