Roy Jones Jr vs. Joe Calzaghe: One and Done For Joe

[AceNguyen]

History will be kind to Calzaghe if he beats Jones because people will just look at the name, but fans know that Pavlik is the only true challenge left. Roy looked happy just to score a knockdown against Trinidad; he's easy work for Calzaghe. Joe just has to throw a few flurries each round and steal them as Roy cautiously tags him with lead hooks every once in a while. This is a waste if it is truly Joe's last fight.

Nah, after he fights Jones (40) Glen Johnson will be turning 40 as well, so I reckon he'll take that fight. I don't think there are any other 40+ year olds around the division so he'll hang 'em up after that.

calzaghe vs jones and then calzaghe vs pavlik and he can easily be considered a GOAT if he holds he undefeated record

Didn't you predict a 43 year old would beat Joe?

Shame on you

I predicted a very narrow decision for Hopkins as well as an early round knockdown scored by hopkins. So yes, I picked hopkins and wasn't off by much.

And I'm willing to bet, you've been slightly off in some of your boxing picks in the past??

Yeah i know. Roy is no Bernard and i don't think he beat him. Roy is faster and hits harder than Joe. And they are the same size so that mean Roy is not fighting a big LHW which means more trouble for Joe. Roy has only lost to 2 bigger men in Tarver and Johnson who hit hard as hell and not that slaps which didn't even put a whelp on Bernard

I agree. If Roy doesnt fear Calzaghe's power: That will spell the end of Joe's unbeaten career. MARK THOSE WORDS.

It appears that unbeaten WBC/WBO/WBA super middleweight champ Joe Calzaghe is back on the road to retirement. Calzaghe has switched his plans around in the last few weeks, initially stating that he would retire after one more fight and then stating that he would fight a few more times depending on the money. Now Calzaghe has once again made a call for retirement after his next fight, scheduled to take place on November 15. [details]

If you're not over 40 you're not qualified to fight Calzaghe. What a joke. He won't be seeing any of my money that's for sure.

Last fight and the first loss on his record if he picks Roy.

[WilmaFlintstone]

I feal like he has to do more to be consider one of the so called greatest fighters, I know hes undefeated but the best name he has on his resume is Kessler and Hopkins and even if he fights and beats Roy he still wont get his respect because both Hopkins and Roy are old and pass their prime, He has to stick around and fight these young fighters like Pavlik, I think he's making to much of this retiring undefeated.

Well said.
