    He'll have to be more aggressive that he was against TITO though, if he want a decision. Jones is as accurate as anyone, but Cal-Z throws alot of punches... The judges in Wembley will have the ammunition to toss Cal-Z close rounds. I think this ends badly for Jones. I don't want to argue about what punches landed months from now.

      I'll tell you what, a loss to Calzaghe in a questionable decision in London would be a fitting end to his career, considering what happened in Seoul.

        i agree... and roy will have to make sure he makes it obvious... there WILL be a US judge, a judge from somewhere else, and one from wales though

          Whilst I respect the opinions of Kswizzy, I still think Roy would have trouble eating the kind of uppercuts Kessler doled out to Joe. OK he would have to actually hit him, I accept that, but I feel Roy needs a fast but inexperienced up and comer to test his reflexes, someone he will beat, but someone he will have to work hard against. My reasoning is that Kessler's handspeed is quicker than Tito's and, although he looks like that classic upright European style boxer, he's got a bit more about him tham we maybe give him credit. Maybe Kessler / Bute or Froch ???

          Anyway best not to mess with Swizz, or he'll get his training partner Georges St Pierre on you! And those Quebecois are bred much tougher than their French cousins, no white flags in that part of Canada

            Roy needs to make any of the 168 guys come up to 175. No need to drain yourself for anyone but Tito. The best fighter he can beat is probably Clinton Woods who just beat Glen Johnson, and is perhaps about to beat Tarver.
