It looks like calzaghe`s next fight will be on 8th july and he wants roy jones it will be great to get it on in wales for all the welsh and uk fans to cheer on there hero, and jones although nowhere near the fighter he once was is a boxing legend.
Sure Joe is no Mike Tyson but there is a couple common similarities to the Tyson v. Jones fight and the Calzaghe v. Jones fights...in both cases Roy has mentioned that he is interested in the fight...thats the first similarity...in both cases Roy has no intentions of making these fights...thats the second similarity.
That goes against the evidence seen when Roy caved in and swallowed his pride to make the 3rd Tarver fight happen. There's no reason to say Roy does or doesn't want to fight Joe. Roy said he might like to do it, and that his interest in boxing waxes and wanes. He's 37 and has lost 3 times in a row. Of course he isn't going to emphatically get involved with Joe Calzaghe.
I doubt this fight happens unless Roy gets 70% of the purse.
Like he asked for vs Tarver, right?
tyson didnt want to fight jones there though.
and you know jones aint going to fight anywhere but in america period.
this fight would have been real good three years ago in vegas.
I doubt this fight happens unless Roy gets 70% of the purse. He fights for money now. If he really wanted to resurect his career he should have fought Hopkins.
Roy has zero chance against Calzaghe. Remember Glen Johnson's swarm of punches that had Roy covering up for 8 rounds? Well, Calzaghe will actually be LANDING punches. Roy goes down in 3, guaranteed.
False. Calzaghe is not Mike Tyson. You're off your rocker.
Anyway, if you think Joe is making the right move by fighting Roy, you're in the dirt. This is a stupid move. Why the hell should RJJ go to Wales first off, and why can't Joe come to the U.S. like he said he was going to do, since he's so bad? RJJ is 37 and WAY past it.
Roy said he might like to fight the winner of Lacy-Joe, and we all know Roy is not the same as he was before. He's willing to do things now (like fight Joe perhaps) that he wasn't willing to do before simply because his value is less. That's why Roy acquiesed to more of Tarver's demands in the final fight of their trilogy. That is evidence enough that Roy is not the same.
Anyway, point is, it doesn't fucking matter. This is a waste of tme for Joe. Remember that door I talked about Joe opening by beating Lacy? Well, if this fight happens, Joe is NOT walking through that door of oppurtunity, he's taking the Hokins route (what Hops did post-Tito).
We should all hope with any amount of common sense that Roy DOESN"T take this fight.
I specifically state that Frank Warren and Joe Calzaghe need to forget about Roy Jones, right? So we are on the same page.
Now we can argue over where a potential fight should be (I could give a shit) but my point is Roy is all talk at this stage and anything he says should be regarded as garbage.

Who's off their rocker here, me or Roy Jones...hell or both of us?
Let me tell you how it is.
The chances of Roy Jones coming to Wales are ZERO.
The chances of Roy Jones fighting Joe Calzaghe are ZERO.
Roy Jones is all talk and he is in serious DENIAL.
Roy will talk like he wants to fight right up until any contract and then he will refuse the contract by making a ridiculous request. (like when he kept running his mouth about fighting Tyosn, when he was put on the spot he said he's in if he gets 50 million-AKA I dont want the fight)
Joe/Frank... do yourselves a favor and forget about Roy Jones!

I could careless about this fight. Go fight the winner of Tarver/Hopkins or Taylor can move up in show Lacy how it should've been done.
Im not so sure you and JErmain Taylor are on the same page.
