ROY JONES SAYS HE'LL TAKE 40-60 TO FIGHT CALZAGHE!!

[boxinggalore]

If Roy wants to get knocked out then he should fight Calzaghe. If he wants to keep his career going he needs to fight the Prince Badi Ajamu's of the world.

In hindsight, I think I may have been stoned when I replied to this post. It's ridiculous for Jones to COMPLETELY price himself out of a potential match-up with Calzaghe. Why isn't Jones chasing Hopkins? If he really wants to fight, that would be the fight to make. Surely, there would be a ton of money involved, and I think Hopkins would go easy on him for the first 15 or 20 seconds of the bout.

Like Roy is going to WAIT to see if Hopkins beats Wright.

Whats wrong with Roy saying he would go overseas and fight Joe with Calzaghe getting the biggest of the post.

Thats what everyone been saying about Jones in england and overseas

"He wont come over here" and "he prices himself out" But when he finally does it you say "why doesn'e he fight Hopkins"

How about this

Why doesnt' Calzaghe fight Kessler, Mundine, EVEN BERRIO!!!

People say Roy needs to fight the Badi Ajamus of the world well I guess you see nothing wrong with Calzaghe fighting the Bika's and the Manfredo's of the world So you are going to justify Joe NOT fighting Roy when Roy is doing the things you always complained he didnt? Damned if you do, damned if you dont

I'll second that P4P

[Pugilistic]

i think calzaghe should take it. this fight is for jones. he think that if he fights and beats joe then that will get him back on p4p which it will.

him beating joe would be huge for him and i would love that to happen, jones does deserve it.

When he finally does what? Stipulate a 60/40 purse split with Calzaghe? Why? It doesn't make any sense. You're jumping the gun a bit by attempting to infer that I don't have some serious issues with Calzaghe and Warren. You can find many a post of mine that calls into question this parade of bums that Calzaghe has been fighting - Peter Manfredo Jr. C'mon, it doesn't get any more ridiculous than that, Starr. :P
Yes, Jones would be a Quantum Leap up in class from the Manfredo's of the world. But Bika was a legit contender that was giving Beyer all he could handle, and prior to that, Calzaghe had the Lacy fight. But I'm sure that you're aware of all of this already.

Let me ask you this, though:

Don't you think it's a bit premature for Roy to be making these types of purse demands? Given, if Calzaghe has the true grit of a champion, he would jump on the opportunity to fight one of the greatest to ever strap on gloves. But Jones is really putting Calzaghe's back against the wall? Certainly not the way Hopkins did to Jones prior to the 2nd Tarver bout, and we all know that Hopkins vs. Jones 2 never materialized.

It may be a case of damned if you do damned if you don't with certain people when it comes to Jones, I just don't fall into that category. For a man with a legacy as rich as Roy's in the sport, I would think it best to get a good arbitrator and go into serious negotiations prior to making demands. Let's face it: Jones isn't holding the title, and I think I'm solid ground historically by saying that the ultimate leverage goes to the champ. Roy knows this all too well.

However, I may change my mind after posting this as the Lysergic Acid kicked in about 40 minutes ago.

Good points, BTW.

[Wacko3205]

Back in the day RJJ would take Calzaghe to school and back, but he is going to get a big beat down look at how gun shy he is these days, Calzaghe should take this fight if nothing better is available he will beat RJJ easily at this point imo.

Exactly.

Totally agree. While I do believe that Jones looked good after the first 3-4 rounds with Prince Abugabi (or WTF ever his name was) but Prince aint Calzaghe & no matter what anyone has to say...Calzaghe would get up majorly for a fight against Jones.

While Roy's reflexes have seemingly gone by by...Joe's have not.

In the past I have stated that I would never wish to see Jones fight in the ring again...now...I'd be thrilled to see Roy leave the U.S. for a fight against Calzaghe. Roy's become a bit of a gotdam tool, IWO, of late & I have begun to lose respect for him by the barrell loads. All this horse shit of him saying this & doing that is fwockin aggrevating to someone that tries to remain a loyal fan of the man.

that fight (laugh all you want) would generate PPV buys on HBO & the gate across the pond would probably be staggering.

[Wacko3205]

What's wrong with it? Nothing...except for the fact that he will NEVER do it.

If he does...I'll be shocked...shocked & thrilled.

"He wont come over here" and "he prices himself out" But when he finally does it you say "why doesn'e he fight Hopkins"

If he's smart...he won't fwock with Hopkins...but the tagline & promo for that fight would be glorious.

He'd be out to beat the one man that legitimately beat him...twice.

For some reason...Jones has conviniently forgotten the KO loss to Johnson...atleast in front of the flashbulbs & inkpins.

Loyal fan? Who are you trying to kid Wacko?! Ya predicted Ajamu to knock him out. And for the record, Roy looked good the whole fight and had Ajamu ready to quit, but fat ass with pipe(McGirt) had to talk Ajamu out of it. Granted Ajamu is no world beater but he is on par or a touch below Sakio Bika, and above Manfredo. Jones has been acting like an ass lately, but I still love the guy and will support him till the end. Especially if that end includes him whippin Calzaghe's ass.

P.S. Where ya been lately?

Jones is. No doubt.

[The Shadow]

No, Jones isn't going to take any of the Hopkins action. He wouldn't as a champ when Hopkins chased him all over the country, and he sure as shit ain't going to take him on now. He eeked out a fairly close UD the first time, but Hopkins would probably stop him this time around.

ROY JONES JR WILLING TO ACCEPT 40-60 SPLIT TO FIGHT CALZAGHE IN UK!
By G. Leon

Says if offer isn't accepted Calzaghe "must be scared"

Yesterday afternoon BoxingTalk.com received a call from a particularly confused Roy Jones Jr. The former pound for pound kingpin is wondering why Team Joe Calzaghe has virtually ignored his proposal to fight the King of Cardiff in the UK later this year. In an effort to show that he should still be considered one of the world's best, Jones makes it clear that he would fight Calzaghe in the UK under a 40-60 split, 40% for Jones, 60% to Calzaghe. RJ willing to accept less than parity? Yep. Read the full must read one on one interview to see what Jones had to say, you don't want to miss it. ONLY ON BOXINGTALK.

rest of it must be a member on boxingtalk.net


WOW... Jones must really want this fight!

Who the hell does Jones jr think he is. He lost 3 of his last 6 fights 2 by devastating KO's. Since the KO's he has fought 2 clubfighters and an overweight ex champ fighting 2 weights above his normal. NOW he has the gall to offer Joe Calzaghe, an undefeated p4p ranked fighter, a 40 60 split. ROFL
Jones does not deserve to even be Calzaghes sparring partner let alone an opponent.
