    40 years old. WOW. The guy is superhuman..

    now....I don't think at this point in his career he can beat calzaghe. Mainly for the fact that he lays back way too much and calzaghe punches the entire fight. i could see it turning into a very frustrating fight for Jones fans.

    When Jones presses and unleashes he is still one of if not the best in the world. His defense is just not there anymore. his feet and head movement aren't what they used to be.

    All of that said...to be a 40 year old man the guy is simply a FREAK. Not many humans on earth like that guy.

      i think it would be a pretty good fight, joe is off balance alot when he punches and roy is a good counterpuncher, i wouldnt be surprised if roy knocked calzahge down like 18x in the fight lol

        Jones feet are in wet cement...I've said this since he returned to fight Tarver (I). I also say the years in which he was able to control a fight hurt him in the end because the amount of punches kept going down. Even Floyd's punch-out-put has gown down, even against a lighter fight like Ricky.

          This fight was more exciting then Bernard vs Wright/Tarvar/Taylor II put together

          It was actually a good fight,and Roys speed and the way he put together punches impressed me alot,and the corner work did too,the way he knew what he was doing and pointing out the mistakes he could see,he was inteligent in the corner

            Bernard uses great boxing technique, great defense, but his reflexes, if he had his hands down all the time, are nowhere near Roy's.

              Lets not get too excited just because Roy won a decision over a washed up middleweight.

                Roy couldn't KO the smaller man.
                He was talking **** about Jermain Taylor not being able to KO Spinks yet he couldn't KO Trinidad.

                  i'm gonna watch it again in better quality this week but i seriously doubt its as impressive as the performance Bernard Hopkins put together against Antonio Tarver.. that was just amazing to see with your own eyes..

                    Jones just turned 39, so he's not 40, he also beat a former welterweight that been washed up for years.

                    Lets not get carried away with this fight, Hopkins is the Freak of Nature, not Jones.

                    Hopkins at the age of 42 dominated the best light heavyweight in the world and also won a close fight against the P4P #2.
