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

[macman]

I don't think Jones is any where near the fighter that he was, but do think that his body has recovered from moving up to Heavy then back down to Light-Heavy.

Think it would actually be a decent fight, although believe Calzaghe would be the clear winner.


One good thing about this is that if Hopkins prices himself out, then Calzaghe has a decent, good paying stay busy fight that would actually get him motivated for.

It also adds pressure on Hopkins to play ball in a realistic fashion in negotiations, which is definitely a plus.

hes talking BS. he know he won't fight one of the best fighters around. he should stick to choosing fighters that are past their prime and has no chance of beating him before he gets knocked out again.

[SHB]

I wouldn't trust Jones. He made similar statements after the Lacy fight, but priced himself out. He wanted 60/40 to the winner, which is bull****.

I don't think Calzaghe or Warren would have too much of a problem with 60/40 split towards the winner. Given RJJ's previous track record when it comes to negotiating I'm just surprised anyone thinks he was playing a straight bat.

I dont wanna see that Bull****...I want Calzaghe vs Hopkins or JOnes vs Hopkins...ZROy is trying to steal B HOPS thunder cause he probably jealous...he knows he'd get mauled by Hopkins....he should either fight Hopkins or JAmes Toney and get his ass knocked out

[SkillspayBills]

Roy would be trounced I am sad to say. He is hungry I will give him that but Calz is still relatively fresh compared to Roy.

Lets see how jones does against trinidad, if he puts on a good perfomance, then he should fight calzaghe, if hopkins wont fight JC, why not?

[Del Coqui]

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]

Looking past Tito already? Man, he is very confident!

He's Baaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!! I'd honestly like to see how Joe would fair against someone just as fast as him....then a vet on top of that...Hop didn't want none of Jones that's why they can never agree on terms...Everyone knows that!!!!!!!

[kamicazze]

face it! roy is one of the very few that can match calzaghe for handspeed! rephrase that from middleweight up the only man who can match calzaghes handspeed! and add to this how roy fights off the ropes nowadays and calzaghe can adapt, i say its a foty candidate! unlike if it had happened 6 years ago where it would have been boring! for me if they can get trinindad out of reirement surely the can tempt michelewski! jones should fight michelewski and glen johnson! then think about the calzaghes and world titles!

[MamaDuck]

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.

This is what I mean... Calzaghe wins one big fight and he turns into the god of boxing.
