Calzaghe vs jones knockdown

[ross]

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?

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".

Really that big?....funny how some guys on TV seem huge then in person seem much smaller then others that seem small are much bigger in person....,Thought TV added 20lbs ......As far as them meeting earlier and Joe stopping Jones I don't know....Jones in his prime was very skilled athletically and IMo would have found a way to keep away from Joe...Jones never liked a high paced bout and Joe as we all know threw a lot of punches so I really think it would have been a snoozer

When you click it it gets to a normal size pic that you can see clearly...IMO it just looks as if Joe is healthy and is bigger because he is at his walking around weight....Obviously when a guy fights he is 20lbs or so under his normal weight so I would guess that is why.....He retired at LHW so figure he was 175lbs for that bout and he was in shape so he probably shed 15lbs in camp giving him a walking around weight of about 190......

Well apparently he stood on the scale mucking about and it flew over 200lb

The big ginger lad on his right weighed in at 106 kilo for his fight last friday night, that gives you a bit of a comparrison, size wise.

Do I hear comeback at CW .......

Seriously though good to see Joe is out and about doing well.....I do wish Joe and Froch could have met before joe retired so we would not have to hear Carl's constant bitching about why the people do not show him the love they showed Joe

Incidentaly, the lad stood behind Joe with the gold trim shorts is last years ABA junior lightweight champ.
