    He was willing to fight Eubank and Benn in London, but Eubank wouldn't entertain it and Benn was with Don King who for some reason Jones wouldn't fight for back then (neither would Eubank, that's why Eubank didn't fight in US)

      Does Jones really need to go to England to get destroyed? He's an old man, the least Joe C can do is beat Roy close to Florida. That way Roy can go back to the home right afterwards.

          Jones is a Welsh name you know?

          Nearly everyone in Wales is called Jones, Calzaghe has already beaten 365 fighters called Jones.

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.
            And there folks we have the wonders of the American education system in one "cut out and keep" post.

            You do realise England is part of the UK don't you?

                  "They don't have to worry about where I come. They make it right and I'll go to England,"

                  Wtf is Roy on about?

                  I think at this point in his career he wants to travel because he just wants to make a buck. For so many years he didnt want to travel anywhere.

                  He should have fought Dariusz Michalczewski who was 46 - 0 right up until 2003.

                    To be fair though the fight would probably take place in England instead of the millenium stadium, not that thats right.

                    I'd actually rather travel to USA to see Calzaghe's next fight, at least then it will stop the talk about him only willing to fight in his own backyard.

                      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****.
