Calzaghe vs jones knockdown

[DaxxKahn]

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

did you just make this up?

sorry for not reaching your comeback standards dude

it is the biggest load of poo ive ever heard tho soz

[porkypara]

Jones has never liked to take risks.

Unless a fighter is out on there feet Jones is likly to hold back rather than just go for it.

Type of fighter that looks for opening then fires quick shots in rather than force opening.

Yes Jones wanting to go in and be happy surviving against Calzaghe was Poo....HMM lets examine this further shall we.....

RJJ Avoided Calzaghe in his prime years,,,,,,

RJJ Self stated during his time calling the Calzaghe/Hopkins fight when asked by Lampley and Merchant why he never fought Calzaghe when Jones said he wanted to face the winner of Calzaghe/Hopkins....."it was too much of a risk, I had too much to lose, If I went to England like they proposed More then likely I would have lost my belt, When they offered to come here I felt I did not need to take the risk because I had the titles and did not need Calzaghe at the time, I have nothing to lose now and I would be happy just to get the bout, but I prefer to face Bernard then Joe".......

Sounds like a confident man

Jones had beaten Ajamu, Hanshaw and Trinidad by points lost 3 of the prior bouts 2 by horrific stoppage losses.....Jones last stoppage win before Calzaghe came in 2002....Going into the bout with Jones Calzaghe was on a 5 fight win streak over Lacy, Bika, Manfredo, Kessler and Hopkins...

Tell me it is crazy to thinnk Jones was happy surviving?......Calzaghe mocked him during the fight!!!!.....Jones was not even a shadow of his formerself in the bout past the 3rd rd......No big deal knocking Calzaghe down because joe has been down more times then a dime store hooker......Thing is keeping Joe Down....So no it is not poo to think Jones went into the fight happy to survive and just wanted to make a good showing of himself

Yeah see when you say stuff like that it tells me and everyone who is a Vet of these boards your lack of knowledge on the sport itself....Big difference betweeen knowing who is who and knowing what is what....

Fighters age differently skill wise then regular people....Why do fighters not fight until they are 50etc (Though now a few here and there do but no more really then back in the days...Moore fought til he was in his 40's as did Walcott)......A fighters in ring reflexes go sooner....EG the last thing to go is the punch.....They may still be faster then the average guy but slower then the average elite fighter......

A fighter who is known for his toughness gets stopped once and all of a sudden he is an easy KO for guys in the future why because they just had one too many wars and a dent was put in their armor....They can still take a punch better then the average guy but not better then the average elite fighter (A perfect exmple of the is John Mugabi and most recently Edison Miranda)......

Anyhow the lesson is over and maybe now you understand WTF 3 of our yrs 10 in fighters years...You know like a dog...they really don't get 7yrs older every yr but their body ages 7 yrs in terms of what it would take a persons body to age

[somnolence]

Yeah, of course Calzaghe was far far better at the time.
But on the age/years topic, you have to bare in mind the years grueling fights at top level take off you, which Roy had for years. No dig at Calzaghe at all, as careers just went in different ways, but I believe that to be partially why Roy was so drained towards the end. Then the example of B-Hop just proves what was said by the last poster right, every fighter ages differently.
