The most likely outcome is Calzaghe moving away from round 3 or 4 to get a wide decision. I wouldn't be surprised if he got a TKO late on. I wouldn't even be surprised if it was a total mismatch and Calzaghe gets a TKO early in the fight. We haven't seen Jones in with a top fighter for a long time and its hard to know if he can still compete, its possible he can't. I also wouldn't be surprised if in fact it turned out to be close, Calzaghe is getting old himself, we don't know how his move to LHW has affected him in the longer term and it wouldn't be the first time if he turns in a poor performance. Since its unpredictable, I'm looking forward to the fight!
(You want my neck on the line? OK...Calzaghe dominates from the opening bell and boxes to a wide decision winning nearly every round.)
why do you insist on totally contradicting yourself within your posts ?
What if when fans buy a PPV boxing event they got to choose who their purchase supported? Like the money goes to the fighter they are a fan of? Would it be fair?
never thought of that idea ! ... what a great idea though. Then fighters would have to fight to earn there big bucks.
e.g ODLH vs pacman would definatley not happen. even the goldenboy fans would route for pacman in such a stupid fight
They all say the same thing, Well they ain't gunna say
"Khan gunna whoop my asss!"
But it's just talk, they all talk.
I specifically ment when they say " everyone in england will know me as the man who knocked out khan " ...
welll no casue no one cares about khan, i think his boxing fans are himself his parents and his 18 brothers called muhammed
I think calzaghe is going to dominate the first 4 rounds and possible tko jones out like he did to manfreddo. Jones isnt even in the same class as calzaghe.
calzaghe wasnt known as the terminator for nothing !
you are fucking comeday mate keep dreaming
The night grows closer, where the current P4P no.1 faces the forgotten legend. I have been waiting for this fight since calzaghe talked about it after the hopkins fight and in turn have been pissing alot of people off on these websites out of sheer boredom. However on the odd occasion when bryceyboi has not been drinking to much coca cola he is down for serious debate, and as the fight is approaching in the next few months i would like to hear some reasonable views and forecasts from all boxing fans
When people first heard the next opponent on the welsh dragons list was roy jones, there was massive upset, caliming pavlick deserved it and was the better fighter, this is not the case. Anyone who has ever watched roy jones live or in boxing videos knows that Jones at 2 years older is no excuse to be ruled out alltogther.
Roy jones always has a game plan. Calzaghe however is more adaptable. I think calzaghe will go in there open minded withe the heart of a lion, where as jones is going to have set out a plan A, B and C.
Ive said all along i think jones is going to pull off a massive upset to the uk fans and he will pull it off aslong as he goes in there wanting to win. The problem being a jones fan is that after the tarver and glen johnson fight, i personally think jones did not loose any power, did not loose his speed and did not loose his ability to box. However i think he did change in the way that he didnt want to win as much, he has alot of money, hes smart and hes now not the undefeated legend he was.
Its as simple as jones wanting to prove that he should still be considered an ATG, P4P champ.
I hope this fight doesnt compare to " calzaghe vs hopkins " or " jones vs tito "
because IMO both fights were about exciting as 2 goldfish playing hide and seek. It needs the full support of the jones and calzaghe fans, it needs both fighters heading into that ring thinking about one thing only, and thats winning.
Although i see jones winning this fight, i would never completely rule calzaghe out. In ANY fight there is really 50/50 chance.
Calzaghe has got an incredable workrate, the best out of all the boxers i can think of today, He just keeps on going and doesnt seem to get tired. He loves his fans and is clearly going to put on the best performance he can and has to date.
1rst Round
I see this being similar to " calzaghe vs hopkins " round 1, slow and uneasy for both fighters. Jones throwing some shock hooks and mabey putting calzaghe down but certainly not hurting him
2nd Round
Both Fighters getting stuck in and tryign to work out each others gameplans. Both fights connecting
3rd Round
This is where i think jones will pick up and start outsmarting calzaghe with suprising hooks,uppercuts,jabs from all directions, then straight back into his turtle defence
4rd Round
The most important round for jones IMO, from seeing pretty much everyone of jones fights and seeing many of calzaghes. I think this is the round where jones must go all out and try knock calzaghe out. From what ive seen calzaghe starts getting into the fight about round 4/5... If jones lets it slip past round 4 hes going to be in trouble. He must keep moving on his feet and trying to outsmart clazaghe because if he punches him self out and is on the ropes in his new turtle style defence, Calzaghe will unleash a flurry of punches on him tiring him out as we all know jones does not have the stamina of calzaghe.
Whatever happens its going to be a close one and im interested to see what everyone else thinks round by round etc , regardless of boxing records and names.
discuss...
The Khan Hatton fight is being talked about for after the Hatton Pac fight. At least the way they have it scheduled.
Nevertheless, could be great under the right circumstances.
the right circumstances being that khan wears bodyarmour ?
Out of interest Brave-Heart, since you think Jones is going to win, if Calzaghe beats him will this trigger some newfound for respect for Calzaghe in your eyes, or will you still hate him and think he's shit?
Hands down abadger i will give him all due respect...
im also willing to put a bet that " jones beats calzaghe" with all my points
Not 100% certain but i predict:
4rth round ko by jones, calzaghe gets up and is brutaly TKO'd before the end of round 4
No mate ! i just live most of the year there !
I work with my father in law running a small building firm!
ah ok decent ( no hate )... i dont hate calzaghe and his fans, usualy just a wind up
If Roy Jones wins by KO/TKO in round 4, I will give you 40k. If he doesn't, you give me 1k.
Wanna bet?
yeh put it your sig you week bitch
I really hope Braveheart is an alt.
Besides Whites never cry in the ring. Blacks bawl like babies. True story.
Sorry im not an alt, i get bored at work so stoop to a low level resulting in me posting shit about calzaghe to get a reaction of the likes of abadger because i think i have a hidden love for him
you need to sign off the dole and get a job !
i thought you were an irish gypsy fighter, so you should know too well that people like me are not on the dole ?
I am from a boxing gypsy family ,so i did a lot of boxing when i was a schoolboy !
But the first fighters i looked up to was ,Nigel Benn,Micheal Nunn, Hennry Wharton,Mcallum etc etc
i thought garyd would get tired of me owning him on every post, repps casue i feel sorry for your lame ass
calzaghe fans vote now:

Frank Warren is a major reason that British fighters get no respect abroad. The best fighters go to him as he can get them the best money, but then he just keeps them fighting bums in Britain for as long as the relatively unknowledgeable (?!) British public laps it up. It's a fuckin shame, we really should boycott the cunt.
im joinging team fuck warren ? is that ok
I think it would be a Sizzler. What you all think?
are you having a laugh or being serious >?
casue hatton would knock khan out round 3 or 4 ,
Pacman would Tko him round 1
are you fucking blind dog
Believe it or not mate but i am a more of a Jones fan than i am a Calzaghe ! i would much prefer to watch Jones ! But just feel that this fight is at least 6 yrs to late for Jones! IMO!
For the record i think that winning the WBA heavy weight belt was Jones Greatest hour!
Me and my old man stayed up and watched that,and i can remember counting down the seconds in the last round lol
comedy i just thought you were a die hard calzaghe only fan
thats kl, everyone has they're opinions, i really do belive jones can and will win this fight, But its how he turns up on the night. I hope he has still got heart and wants to win, if he goes in there for a pay check he will loose alot of fans. if he goes in there and gives it his all then no matter what happens ill just be happy he gave it all he could. My favourite boxer, and stuck by him when tarver knocked him out. Alot of people just moved onto new boxers. I want this to be his final fight and for him to go out as a champ like he deserves.
This was the first fight i ever watched of Roy Jones !
Me and my old man was in awe of him ! we watched it the day after it aired !
Great fight ,great performance!
garry d are you actually from cyprus brah ?
With 5 career losses Margarito has managed to hold alphabet titles in 1 division his entire career. He has no real amateur accomplishments. He has already been defeated by 1 of the other titleholders in the division. He is already 30 years old. But some would have us believe that he has had a greater career than future Hall of Famers like Oscar, Floyd, or even Joe Calzaghe & Roy Jones.
Is he the most overrated boxer in history. Guys like David Reid, Edison Miranda, Tommy Morrison were overrated but I think Margarito just might take 1st place.
your a maggit
i sent this to frank see if i get a reply eh
hi there id just like to share my disgust with you regarding amire karn and his resent move to sky box office !!!!! how on earth can you justify puting a fighter on ppv who hasnt even fort a top 10 ranked oponant a fighter who isnt even a world champion a fighter who hasnt even proved his worth !!!!! this is a disgrace to boxing cant you see that doin this is counter productive !! this now means karn will be shown to the smallest possible aduiance and also makes him and you frank warren look greedy and money grabbing in the eyes of the puplic , these sort of moves are the reason boxing is now a niche sport and no longer the main steam sport it should be, and for the record me and all my friends who are also fight fans will never ...... NEVER pay good money to watch a PROSPECT he is 10 fights ( against world class/ranked fighters) and a world championship away from been ppv worthy !!!!!
thats a solid message. Thing is because frank warren is so stuborn and ignorant, what people say about him does get to him. Thats why in khans upcomming fight he has changed to this columbian kid who no one has heard of, because he thinks us boxing fans are so nieve that he can make comments like " khan faces columbian KO KING "..........
owwwwwweooooooooooooo this kid must me amazing ,,, frank warren has called him a KO KING ,, infact hes soo amazing that rather then setting khan up with a top 10 contender, he has searched all over the world ( right to columbia in this case ) to find a KO king !!!!!!!
