Joe Calzaghe vs Roy Jones Jr.

[WLAD OWNS]

Calzaghe landed at will vs Lacy and didnt knock him out so I question his power.

Lacy has an iron chin...Jones has a glass chin...Calzaghe is definately capable of knocking out Jones Jr.

u cant slap someone who doesnt come straight in on you

This poll is closer then the Hopkins poll.

Both guys should fight each other cause both are very overrated.

will Joe fight Roy tho ?

[Dick-Sucker]

I think Calzaghe would win by KO/TKO

Anyone who said RJJ by decision. Is seriously dreaming.

No way can he even compete with Calzaghe from what he showed us today.

Tito is well past it and so is RJJ. Living the dream

Glass now or Glass always?

Jones was never knocked out before Tarver, and even in the first fight with Tarver, took shots.

Ruiz landed a few punches flush and couldn't put him down.

Roy's body became "shot" which took his chin away...including mentally he went downhill. You have to be mentally strong as well to take a good shot.

Andy Rod**** was asked about being able to return a 130+ MPH serve. He said, you have to be mentally focused, 100%. If you are not, if you let your focus slip even a little bit, the balls will go flying by you.


For Jones, think of it like this as well. Next time you are sick, say the flu or pneumonia, tell someone to punch you...see what the difference is from when you are sick and when you are healthy.

You also have to be able to see the punch coming, which Jones didn't see when Tarver unloaded a hay-maker from Florida. It's the punch you don't see coming that hurts you the most. The Johnson fight, besides the obvious Roy decline, he was hit with a punch that covered nearly his entire left side of his head, from the neck to the temple and then went down hard on the back of his head. He also may not have recovered both mentally and physically, since once you get a concussion you can get another one and be susceptible to hits.

u say it like he has something to fear do u honestly think Roy can beat a man that throws 1000 punches a round Roy was knackered & could finish of Tito when he has him hurt ,how is Roy gonna counter Joe who dont throw single shots he throws combinations etc a 1000 of em a round

[Silencers]

Calzaghe by decision. Jones' inactivity periods will cost him.

Anything is possible.. Roy throws such clean shots.. a truuly great counterpuncher.. Joe will be coming at him all night.. this is a good fight that can go either way... dont for 1 second think Jones is an easy matchup for Joe..

Joe has never had to deal with someone who has faster hands than him..

but Roy would have to throw more..

it would be competitive while it lasted but its already been said Roy in a defensive posture is vulnerable & u can guarantee Calzaghe would back him up & fire combintations at him

i dont care how fast u are how great a counter punches u are ,it is damn near impossible to counter effectively against someone who puts u under so much preassure
