Roy Jones Jr. says he wants to fight Joe Calzaghe and do it overseas. "July 8 suits me," Jones told BBC Wales. "I'll fight in Britain at super middleweight or light heavyweight. Calzaghe excites me." This represents the first time Jones has indicated a willingness to fight off U.S. soil since the 1988 Olympics in Seoul when he was robbed of a deserved gold medal.
this is not the biggest fight out there for- joe and does nothing for his career
if he wants a name fight johnson or tarver
shit let lacy get a couple kos and then whip his ass again
The facts are he is the biggest name out there. Its about money and not titles. When JC kos RJJ his rep will go sky high and will be the top fighter in the world.
If RJJ were to win he would be the top fighter in the world! Simple really when you use your brain for a nano second!
How long is a nano second?
Isnt it like 14 minutes in the Sudan or Chad or some shit?
Uhh, sure you can.
Roy Jones has lost thrice in a row. I can blame Joe all day for taking this fight.
It should not be happening.
I also blame Roy for being stupid. I blame both men, for different reasons.

If Roy Jones wants the fight then you can`t blame Calzaghe for taking it. Hopkins and Tarver are unavailable and Jones means big money. If Roy Jones claims he can beat Calzaghe and he is up for the job then its on his own back. I think Joe would hammer Jones in 2 rounds but it isn`t Joe's fault Jones is an idiot. Take the fight Calzaghe, make some easy money!
pshh. If anyone takes this fight they are adding nothing to their resume but brain damaging a human being. Its like someone fighting Holyfield right now...
The only way this fight makes sense is if the winner of Nard or Hopkins is the next fight and it is done in the states or they showcase Kessler on the undercard.
Just like a lot of people said I will believe Calzaghe is fighting LAcy when i hear the bell and not before then the same will go for Roy...I personally dont believe when it gets down to signing on the dotted line Roy really wants this fight-I'll believe it when I see the bell ring in July.
This fight should happen. Boxing is all about occasion, and razmataz 60,000 passionate fans in the Millenium stadium cheering a certain Calzaghe victory. And in any case who else is there for joe to fight, certainly nobody who will shift tickets.

Yes, plz let it happen, plz let it happen :D , I wanna see another KTFO against Roid Jones Jr. :D
Real proud of yourself and your boy Joe, eh?
Way to follow up the Lacy fight, Joe. Maybe Joe will fight more 37 yr olds in the future.
One can only hope.
I was lucky to get one of those free tickets to watch the Roy and tarver fight from a client.
It kind of amazes me how fast Roy Jones got old. The speed seem to be still there but what happen to all the power. He hits Tarver with some nice combo but ..nothing happens. He will probably hit Joe but I highly doubt if Joe will feel it.
I am very puzzle.
don't be so hard on yourself. this would be an amazing fight. The only thing better than seeing Roy fight is seeing Roy get knocked Out!!!! And you know Calzeghe is gonna Knoeck his ass out!!!! it will be worth every penny.
Are you serious? Roy has already been KO'd thrice, once in the ams, and twice in the pros. He obviously has post-concussion syndrome so why the hell would you want to see his frail brain turned off again? Obviously you are a sick man or you just don't realize how delicate the human brain is.
This fight should not happen. Joe should've stepped up years ago vs a guy like Lacy or Woods and then fought Roy. He waited too long. "Roy Jones Jr." no longer exists.
I cannot see why Calzaghe would be interested in fighting Jones. I mean, I can - no win since 2003, knocked out in 2 of them, nearly knocked out against Tarver, a four weight world champ who is completely past it - but this will do nothing at all for Joe's reputation.
But the really sad thing is, if this fight does happen over here i'm fucking gonna go! I'm gonna spend something like £200 to watch this shit! never mind i'm a fucking retard and its idiots like me that are gonna ensure this fight goes ahead.
I cant miss the opportunity to see Roy Jones fight in the flesh though, can I!?
oops i meant to qoute this one.
I'm sorry, I can't concentrate on what you wrote becuase those glorious tits are staring me in the face.

And you know Calzeghe is gonna Knoeck his ass out!!!! it will be worth every penny. this fight should have happened years ago. Roy knew who joe was at least a decade ago. rumor has it Roy started playing the rising in weight game because of joe, he didn't want it back then.
i read on teletext this morning that frank warren is talking to jones jrs representatives and talks are going well for a july showdown in cardif,warren also added its calzaghes choice to fight jones jr because he wants to be tested against hes biggest hero in boxing
