Roy Jones compares Calzaghe to Marciano

[pr20]

this statement says to me that Roy, in is mind, really feels like he is going to win. For him to Pump a guy up that much can only be to make a big deal out of it when he wins. I think that is what roy is doing. He know Joe is not comparable to what he was himslef in his prime. I think we all know that. joe is indeed a great fghter and I think unless roy comes out with the ideea that he is going to let his hands go then Joe will ge thim.

Ok, I like Joe but this is a bit far

Roy Jones Jr has compared Joe Calzaghe to Rocky Marciano ahead of their clash at Madison Square Garden on 8 November.

"Calzaghe's one of the best fighters ever, one of the greatest of all time," Jones told BBC Sport Wales.

"He has a 100% record of 45-0, Marciano was 39-0. He's a true athlete I respect - we've nothing bad to say to each other, we'll give it all in the ring."

We have a winner.

Haha they've been through this so many times... They are just tired of all that hate between fights.

But I really hope that we will get a good fight and ofcourse Joe to come out as a winner. I believe he will based on skills.

He is hyping Joe. So if he wins...he beat a great great fighter, if he loses he's just a past prime fighter who gave his best to try to beat a great fighter.

actin like a *** why is he being so nice?

Jones has a point but maybe that's not really a compliment you know? Marciano's biggest win was over a washed up Joe Louis and Calzaghe's biggest win was over a 43 year old pretty washed up himself Bernard Hopkins.
Both these fighters were allowed to retire undefeated without loud protests from anyone. I could point out more resemblences but it would be pointless.

RJJ still alive?
