    Roy Jones: "I'll Fight Joe Calzaghe in England"

    Light heavyweight Roy Jones Jr. has a big fight ahead of him, and even bigger plans beyond that. Jones takes on the returning Felix "Tito" Trinidad on January 19 in New York's Madison Square Garden. Jones tells BoxingScene.com that unlike some of Trinidad's past opponents, he intimidates Trinidad, which will make the Puerto Rican superstar come ready to fight. The two meet at a catch-weight of 170-pounds. [details]

    I truly hope there is a way this fight can happen.. I know Roy is a much past prime fighter.. But I really thikn because if his fighting style and fast hands he is one of the hardest fights for Joe at the moment..

      jones is finished, if he cant beat glen johnson and average antonio tarver, who got whooped by hopkins, what makes him think he's got any chance against joe calzaghe, who is a force to be reckoned with.

          yea it cant be explained to you obviously.. Roy is one of the toughest fights out there for Joe Calzaghe right now.

          Dont matter though because the big risk little reward will be used as the excuse until he retires..

                Does Roy understand that Joe's actually from a little country called Wales, not England! He's full of ****, he will never come to the UK to fight Joe.

                  LOL, u know..I mean no offense to anyone, honestly, but now that u mention it I never really thought about it but it is true I guess. Most Americans I think associate Calzaghe with ENGLAND and not Wales. I mean, if you asked me today where is Joe from I would have automatically said England and if you asked me what part I might have even said Wales!! I think subconsciously we think of Wales as "part of England" rather than part of the UK.

                    Way to go Roy... it's a good thing you decided that you would go to England when you still had all your skills and high status in the sport.
