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

[Frontliner]

First of all if Wales is not a "real country" then England is not also a "real country". As they are both a part of the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain. No-one owns anyone and as the name suggest its a united country.

And its that sort of ignorance that is going to cause all sorts of problems, if and when Joe actually does come to America. Its just the excuse that is needed for the trouble makers to kick off, and although a smaller country the Welsh and just as bad if not worse than the English for causing trouble.

Im not talking at the actually fight itself but at the surrounding areas. A Welsh fighter has not fought in America for a very long time so if a fight does go ahead there there will be thousands of Proud Welshmen travelling and I do fear that unless some people learn to be alto more repsectful and in honesty alot less rascist then, a riot is not unimaginable.

People forget that Calzaghe had the crowd against him against Delaney, Reid, Starie and Woodhall. He was in a foreign country

lol at Wales not being a real country.

I've looked for that ********* interview with Calzaghe EVERYWHERE but can't find it.

It was only a few days after the Jones-Ruiz bout and he said - POINT BLANK - I never wanted to fight Roy Jones. Something to the effect of he knew that he was too good but he was willing to move up and face other light-heavies. VERY, VERY telling and I believe someone removed it on purpose...

I'm guessing because it doesn't exist. Whereas I can find plenty of quotes where Calzaghe called out Jones.

This fight'll never happen. Calzaghe stated in his autobiography he wouldn't want to fight Jones now as he's a shadow of his former self, but would have loved to have fought him at his prime ... even if they never fought at the same weight at the same time.

I don't think he is quite a shadow, it'd still be fun to watch. But Jones comes under the who needs em bracket now for Joe. amazing really. It has to Hopkins/Woods/Dawson, if he wins all those he is a two weight undisputed champion. Jones brings nothing to the table anymore, its sad really.

It's all bull**** anyway as Joe is really English, he was born in London

[JoartCC]

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]

RJJ is shot.

But one has to admire his courage.

I respect that more than anything else in a fighter.

COURAGE.

Joe is not welsh he is English.

[Unseen]

Joe is not welsh he is English.

he was born in england, grew up in wales and has an italian dad. joe calzaghe is a mongrel that's why he is so good.

he's got the brains of an englishmen, the heart of a welshman and the irateness of an italian.

[steptwome]

Jones would definitely deliver againt Calzaghe
