Roy Jones Jr vs Joe Calzaghe A Disgraceful Fight.

[Taeth]

The only disgraceful thing I've seen tonight is your post. Give the man his due respect and stop being so lame already.

He beat him decisively and didn't allow him to get off and you picked wrong once again because your eye for boxing is obviously not as good as you think. Joe figured him out early ad never looked back just like he did with hopkins. Only difference is that hopkins cheated so much that we didn't get to see how good Joe Joe can look in dominating him.

And you want to talk about the showboating? You got some nerve. Roy was doing it against Tito and he tried against Joe until he noticed he was getting beat to the punch and had to cover up.

Near the end he was in survival mode. Give Joe his due respect. I hope you wake up with your senses in order tomorrow and stop this nonsense.

Coming from you i would except this kind of response, especially how much of a Joe Calzaghe fan boy you are. And how you disrespected Bernard Hopkins in your other thread. Where you got told by many members how much of a stupid post it was.

My eye for boxing not as good as i think ? who the hell are you some sort of god ? your little know it all and you think you know the lot but you actually don't know nowhere near as much as you think you do.

I think i know more boxing than you ever know, i've been following boxing for over 10 years im also an Amateur boxer. And i come from a good boxing family, and i've learnt many things. From my Grandad/Uncles ETC.

RJJ showboated in the past but to the extent at what Joe Calzaghe was doing. Was just damn right ridiculous and disrespectful to a legend like RJJ, Joe Calzaghe done it for almost the entire fight in every round.

I give Joe Calzaghe no real credit for beating a fighter, who hasn't had a stoppage win since 2002. And has been a shot fighter for atleast 7 years. And if you read my other posts i said this before in Bilbo's thread.

You know what? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because it's still the night of the fight and I can understand you're angry but, if you're still talking this reckless a few days from today then you are a true hater.

I'm not biased toward any fighter. I'm Puertorican so no one can say I'm all into my hometown guys. Joe is a special fighter that I truly appreciate getting a chance to see. This is a guy that makes the best adjustments in the business and he's come back from 2 first round Knockdowns to win convincingly unless you're a Roy or hopkins gan or just a Joe hater.

Calzaghe P4P #1

You might just appreciate going forward, he certainly didn't land clean punches on Hopkins, in fact those three left hands they showed leading into the fight were about all he landed on Bernard. I agree he made adjustments against Hopkins, but I think it evened up the fight, and I had him winning most of the rounds from that point on MORE because Hopkins got tired then anything, and He was still throwing a lot of punches. I had it even with Hopkins winning on the knockdown, how does that make somebody a hater. I had him winning all but maybe 2 rounds against Roy. I question somebodies boxing knowledge even in the great boxing nation of Peurto Rico if they think leaving your hands down and asking to be hit is making adjustments. I think that Joe realized Roy wasn't throwing punches, thats not a huge surprise. He didn't give any Roy a whole lot of different looks, he just imposed his will on a guy who has let opponents do that to him for the past 5 years.

Joe is a great fighter, but his weaknesses weren't exposed by old men, his weaknesses because of his chin need to be exploited round after round, and Bernard and Roy couldn't do that effectively anymore.

[Taeth]

Hopkins made Calzaghe look silly, Calzaghe couldn't land a damn thing against him, and Hopkins still had the reflexes to counter Joe with left hooks and right hands.

Calzaghe is a great fighter, he gets credit for that, but he fought guys way past their prime then he is. I said from the begining out of the three big fights coming up (Cazlaghe-jones, Hopkins-Pavlik, De La Hoya- Pacquaio), this was the biggest mismatch if we all saw it how did Joe do anything anybody didn't expect?

Also Bx70Ny, if you knew half as much as you think you do you would see that Joe didn't need to figure anything out, ROy didn't do anything. He landed when he threw punches as often as Joe did, but he hardly threw anything, Joe had difficulty landing cleanly for a lot of it, and he didn't prove anything with this fight except that he is pretty fast.

In fact largely Joe's whole style I don't even feel is all that much boxing, my brother who doesn't know much about boxing thought it looked like point sparring, because thats how he punches. I give him all the credit in the world for getting away with it, when I can't see anybody else getting away with it, but if thats all you have then you are in trouble agaisnt Roy Jones Jr or Hopkins or Toney in their prime.

Markus is being a complete douche bag.

In a a rematch Calzaghe would destroy Hopkins AND YET you would still get tools like you saying "But he didnt fight Dawson"

Who moderates these boards?

Are you an idiot?
Styles make fights and Hopkins is too elusive to ever be "destroyed" Joe couldn't finish a on the ropes zero offense shot fighter in Jones who didn't even "evade" shots. How on earth does he "demolish" a game Hopkins who already know he has to be more aggressive against Joe now.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

No matter how bad i want to see hopkins knocked out. I have come to realize that there ain't nobody that's gonna do it now. he has to be one of the best defensive fighters ever. He has to be right up there with "will 'o the wisp".

The version of Hopkins that showed up for the Pavlik fight is pretty damn good and I don't see anyone beating him including Calzaghe....If that version showed up

Lopve him or hate him Calzaghe won and he deserves credit for his victories but lets not get too worked up about him to the point you start sounding as stupid as his taunting looked

[GAME]

I dont think it was a discraceful fight . Some of Joes taunting was distasteful but he was simply doing what Jones has been doing to his undermatched opponents for the last decade

Great win by Joe. He proved his superiority in the other guys backyard

[Andre]

Thats what gets to forums more than anything after a big fight,name calling of other posters and using the fight and the fact that you called it as some form of a fantasy advancement scheme. It looks like pulling others down just to climb over them.

[Snakey]

I knew that the chances of jones winning were slim but i went for him and picked him because im a loyal fan!! I picked from my heart and not my head? But does anyone want to tell me i was wrong about what is needed to beat calzaghe? He is so open for the right hand it aint funny. All he proved today was that Roy Jones is officially finished, without a doubt. But Calzaghes resume will look good, i think it should show that he caught three great middleweight fighters at the right time...bernard, eubank and roy. And two of them dropped him in the first round. Congrats, like i said. Calzaghe won, he was the better man but really tonight it wouldnt of taken much to do that.

Ive been hear long enough to say what i want and not give a shit about guys sad clicking me, neg repping me...i dont care. Im speaking the truth and if anyone doesnt like it then go ahead and neg rep me. I guarentee you that it doesnt ruin my night

[Althugz]

I honestly couldn't watch it all, it was like i was watching a glorifed sparring session. And a dancing show all at once, first off RJJ's performance uhh where the hell was it ?

He would just throw single punches all the time, and just allow Joe Calzaghe too hold his hands down when he is 2 inches away from him. I was screaming at the screen just bloody hit him RJJ for goodness sake.

Joe Calzaghe was so wide open i can't believe RJJ didn't take those openings, and secondly all of Joe Calzaghes taunting was just ridiculous. It was like watching a clown in the ring, he done it in every round and in every minute of the round.

And the action was like a sparring session, RJJ would hit Joe Calzaghe with single punches every now and again. And then Joe Calzaghe would come wadding in landing mostly slapping punches to the body.

This may sound like sour grapes but im very disappointed, in both boxers. RJJ didn't even try to win the fight after the 1st round, and Joe Calzaghe's constant taunting dancing whatever you want to call it. Was just ridiculous to watch, this fight was not a good fight for boxing at all a disgrace IMO.

You beat me to making this thread. I'm glad I wasn't the only person utterly sickened by both of their performances in this fight.

I feel like a mug for ever thinking up all of the possible scenario's that could happen in this fight when Roy clearly had the fight mapped out from the day he signed the contract.

JC is also the most unlikable piece of shit in and out of the ring. His arrogance is delusional and I felt nauseous by the shit he pulled in this fight with no response from Jones who seemed to just find it funny that he was getting the piss taken out of him.

I wish he took his legacy more seriously because he could have scalped Calzaghe tonight the way he fought those first 2 rounds...in fact he could have done him in one because Calzaghe was gasping for air when he was knocked down.

I feel so mugged off by this fight...by both Jones and JC. More dissapointed in Jones because I really believed he was hungry for his one last roll of the dice. He just didn't want to know.

I don't care if I get accused of sour grapes but Calzaghe has gone even lower in my estimation and this just proved to me how easy a prime RJ would have had it. RJ deserved to lose tonight though for the lack of respect he had for himself and his legacy. They can both go fuck themselves for making me stay up for this farce.

[Greig]

Man there is a lot of sour grapes on this thread.

Seriously, what did you expect?


This fight was about dollars from day one.

For Roy, redundancy money - for Joe, one last pay per view extravaganza.

Well I'm glad you enjoyed the farcical circus show I, however, value my time a little more
