    YOU ARE SUCH AN IGNORANT ****!
    THE FACT is I am NOT a ROY JONES HATER!
    I tell the TRUTH that he has shown NOTHING to prove that he has what it takes PRESENT DAY..... NOT PRE-TARVER.
    I have stated many times that Roy had amazing skills in his PRIME.
    I have also stated my dismay at his testing POSITIVE FOR STEROIDS which is another FACT.
    Please feel free to quote me where I have stated that I hate Roy Jones.
    You are just upset that the guy is FINISHED.
    As for me "PUMPING UP" Calzaghe feel free to quote me on that as well.
    In fact I will say this for your ****** ignorant self again...
    I AM NOT A CALZAGHE FAN.
    Got it?
    And you STILL HAVE NOT ANSWERED THE TOPIC QUESTION.

      Everyone knows his best is behind him becasue well....it is.

      Roy has proved that he is not totally shot and can still hold his own in the ring
      .
      exactly! i feel the same way!

        Roy has shown flashes of what he was pre Ruiz in the 3rd Tarver bout, Hanshaw and Trinidad fights but thats all they were....flashes. I think what you've got to realise is that jones's style was speed, reflexes, athletisism, all attributes that fade with age (although he is still the fastest light-heavy out there). I think Roy at this point could still campaign at top level even though he isnt the 'elite' fighter he once was, his next fight, be it against Calzaghe, Dawson or even a rematch with Clinton Woods will answer all of our questions

          Roy may have shown flashes but are "Flashes" enough?
          He has also shown he can be hit by slower fighters like the unheralded Hanshaw who's claim to fame right now is that he is the fighter who has hit Jones the most in his entire career.
          I would beg to differ that he is still the fastest LHW out there.
          Until he gets in the ring with a Live opponent then how can you know he is good enough?
          You certainly cannot use the 3 wins he has as yard sticks as NONE of those fighters are renowned LHW's.
          I do appreciate that you gave a sensible reply rather than the "You are a ****en Brit hater " nonsense.

            I think your full of **** and your avatar explains your hate towards jones. You cant compare joe's resume to jones. Jones has already shown what he can do. I wont even list the accomplishments. Your asking "post ruiz" but it's the "pre ruiz" that still makes rjj a top fighter. He is capable of alot in the ring even at this age. Joe hasn't impressed me at all. WHO THE **** HAS HE FAUGHT a prime jones would ko joe in less then 6 rounds!! and jones can and will be joe at this age. Jones has something that joe doesnt and cant train a million years to have and that's god given natural talent.

              Roy hasn't done anything "world-class" other than the Tarver fight, which I thought he lost - but it was a competitive fight. But that doesn't necessarily tarnish his career - it's his choice to continue when his skills have deteriorated, partly due to his age, and partly perhaps due to the weight gain/loss for going up to heavy and then back (at least this is my buddy's theory - Roy's his favorite fighter)

                you dont think calzaghe has god given talent-jesus


                the only thing jones showed is his posing is as good in 08 as it was 98 nothin else he is shot and should no longer be considered a top 10 light heavy

                  calzaghe is just a good fighter that has got to where he is at with hard work. although roy jones is here for the same reason he has some unbelievable intangibles that calzaghe will never have. Jones is just a natural freek. he was probably faster then lightweights for crying out loud.
