There are no excuses for Roy Jones, Jr. He was magnificent in his recent fight against Trinidad. He was ready for Joe C. And, who really dodged who "back in their primes?" There is much evidence to conclude that Roy could have made that fight...if he had wanted to.
There are no excuses for Roy. He was beaten and beaten soundly. The verdict is in. Calzaghe was always the man to beat....and nobody ever has. Calzaghe is going to the Hall of Fame will be considered an All Time Great, whether you like it or not.
Im from the Uk and feel a little embarrested to say i was rooting for jones to win, and by ko/tko.
Before the fight i had feelings if the calzaghe that fought hopkins and a decent Jones jr who shows glitches of his prime ( like he did at times ) showed up it would be a painfull night for the welshman.
Instead a similar calzaghe who fought lacy turned up, full of confidence and relentless. We all knew calzaghe could take a great shot, but after being droped in the first it didnt seem to dent his confidence in taking on roys power. Droping his hands allowing Jones to land with great snappy shots especially in the first half of the fight.
I still think primed Jones would win, quite comfortably. Although he did show shades of his prime last night and the way joe coped with him. I cant help but think he would have given the jones of old a hard time.
Now im hoping calzaghe retires. He has nothing else to prove! Hes beaten every oponent put infront of him, and now you cant argue he wasnt in competitive fights. Who else is there to fight, Carl Froch, who is obviously a few levels below joe and in my opinion is abit over rated. In all fairness hopkins had his chance and lost. As close as it was that fight was a bore! Who would want to see that again. So one more name, Chad dawson. Dawson vs calzaghe would be a huge event, and probably a harder fight than the jones fight was last night, although its simply a risk calzaghe doesnt need to take now. Maybe 47 and 0 would be pushing it.
Joe Calzaghe. What a fighter.

I will give Joe the respect and credit that he beat Jones last night but you have to remember RJ is way out of his prime, shot, and the KO losses made him more careful.
About the Trinidad fight, Felix went up in weight and has been inactive for awhile.
Does this look like the Roy that fought JoeC? Joe C was knockdown in the 1st round. Just imagine if Jones was in his prime, more snap, more power, and faster.

I wonder why this is the first time we seened you around since a prime Mayweather beat the shit out of a prime Hatton?
Get the fuck out of here, you pathetic vulture.
Ruthless my purple ass.He's just a slapper nothing more.The hand injuries were all fake injuries.
Pretty good slapper though, huh? Got look at Roy's face. Hopkins spent 12 rounds running, hiding and turning his back from the same slapper.
He humiliated Roy Jones last night, he is ruthless. A killer. Jones was all nicey nice with Joe but come fight time Joe wins and railroads him outa the way. Ruthless.
I've been posting every single day, or are you talking about someone else?
Not you!
BTW show Roy some respect! You want Joe to get credit and that's fair enough, but you haven't given Roy any yet! So what does that make you?
He couldnt even KO Roy when Roy had one eye,
The win against Roy cements Joke's legacy of fighting has beens and nobodies.Joke and his father would need to be seriously deluded if they think they are great because they made a career of fighting old people.

A great fighter. One of the top 3 British of all time in any weight.
He career could have been even better, had he not been unlucky with numerous injuries and not milked by Frank Warren early on he could have faced bigger fights earlier. But that takes nothing away from him and what he's doing now. But he has beaten everyone he has boxed and that is all he can do. 46-0.
He is an old fashioned fighter. He doesn't have an entourage of yes men and various coachs and experts, he doesn't need that. He has and needs only his dad working his backside off. No rubbish, no flashness just good old solid boxing.
He has amazing mental strength and confidence, lots of nerve and bottle and an iron chin. He can take a punch, he has great speed, has proven he can get up off the floor and win. He has great workrate, stamina and an awkward southpaw style that both confuses and causes problems for the other fighter. And he has a very underrated boxing brain and the ability to change tactics during the fight, in fact just fight off his natural instincts and judge how to win that way. It's proven that it works.
And one more thing that people miss or overlook - Joe Calzaghe is a killer. He is a quiet man outside the ring but inside he is a killer, he is ruthless.
Roy Jones last night was a shell of his former self.
And it's funny how theses Calzaghe fans come out of the woodwork(you know who you are!) after not being active on here for months but low and behold, a day after the night before they're here to brag.
Hope you're all having fun!

You only become great by beating great prime fighters not a 67yr old one eyed Roy.What makes it worse is Roy even knocked this guy down.
Tarver KOd Roy,so did Johnson and then the Slapper of Wales couldnt,how can we call him great
So you're not going to give Joe respect for the win?

It's a shame that Calzaghe still isn't getting the credit he deserved. I'm not saying he beat a prime Jones, far from it. But Joe is simply a great fighter, no doubting that at all.
Calzaghe could ko Chad Dawson with a slap, and still not get credit on this forum filled with tards.
Didn't nearly prime tyson lose to bum busterdouglass?
Whats that got to do with anything? I never commented on how good Tyson was, or was perceived to be. I merely said that Lewis got credit for beating him when he was shot.

Oh please spare me this bull sh.it.
Roy Jones was shot to pieces...ey and guess what smart guy SO WAS TITO.
Calaghe beat Hopkins and Jones when they were past ait and that makes you happy huh..please.
The boxing writers and the magazine writers know that Joe C is a fraud...going around beating up shot fighters when your relatively fresh should get you crucified.
Jeff Lacy was not a "shot fighter" by anybody's standards. Calzaghe beat his brains in.
Nobody has ever been able to get to Calzaghe...including Hopkins and Jones. This is a bitter pill for alot of boxing aficionados, but the truth is the truth. The dust has finally settled and Calzaghe reigns supreme.
Lennox Lewis was given credit for defeating a shot Tyson. Calzaghe gets credit for defeating a less shot Roy Jones Jnr. Whether you like it or not, they have fought once and Calzaghe won. Thats all there is to it. Nothing else can ever be argued more convincingly than that, because the rest is conjecture and that is fact.
Didn't nearly prime tyson lose to bum buster douglass? His American fans won't consider that nearly his prime though because b-douglass a bum beat him.
