The trash-talking has begun for the November 8 clash between Roy Jones Jr. and Joe Calzaghe, taking place at New York's Madison Square Garden. Jones says that Calzaghe will never be recognized as a truly great champion.
American boxing legend Roy Jones has warned Joe Calzaghe that he will never be recognised as a truly great champion. Jones says Calzaghe is just a good Euro fighter with too many questions mark that hang over his career resume.
"Joe is a long way from being the king of boxing in America," said Jones to The Mirror. "He's a good European fighter but there are too many question marks about his career. I have answered all my doubters and beaten living legends but Joe has too much catching up to do. He beat Bernard Hopkins but Hopkins was at the end of his career - and now he has to get past me."
After watching some of Welsh champion's fights, Jones says that he doesn't see any way that Calzaghe can possibly win.
"I've been looking at tapes of Joe's fights and I just can't see a way that he can beat me," continued Jones.
