R.i.P Joe Calzaghe: 1993-2007, 45-1

[Vladimir303]

Styles make fights but if a guys workrate has truly dropped off and/or the guy is shot.. It won't matter. Ali's style would destroy any heavyweight.. but once he was washed up it didn't matter anymore. The real roy jones would have stopped Trinidad in 8.

Roy Jones is not washed up as Ali was in 1980.

Him not knocking out Tito had nothing to do with being old but rather him applying alot more defense then he usually does. And that's a good thing.

He is keeping his hands up making sure nothing Tarver-esque lands on that chin.

Jones is only glass chinned when he gets hit with clean closed power fists.

Not slaps.

RJJ takes joe to school 117-111 style making him more amateurish then Hopkins did.

When/If this fight happens, you're going to look pretty silly.

Calzaghe already knows a fight with roy would make him look bad and so do the fans its a fight that would embarrass boxing roy jones should just retire.

If Joe dosen't fight with Pavlik, evrybody will remember him as he was ducking Pavlik and nobody will remember what he did in his prime, and that's to bad. IMO right now JOe is affreid of Pavlik, he has much to loose.

More like 3.

Jones is done, has been for awhile. He's like Hopkins, he doesn't have the gas to throw for more than a few rounds, certainly not a full 12. ANY pressure fighter can beat Jones if they don't get KO'd before the 4th.

Calzaghe will put Jones on his shorts the first time probably around the 8th, and will TKO him in the 10th or 11th, I think.

For a while now, I've said that his best choice would be Pavlik as his last opponent.

Not only is Pavlik stylistically the easier opponent for him, but Joe would also get more credit beating a younger, stronger, prime, unbeaten champion rather then a has-been in RJJ. Bad choice Joey.

With that said, I've got RJJ all the way schooling the *****, making him look like a boyscout lost in the woods during camp.

RJJ will shine late in his career pulling off a defining victory.

Good luck with the prediction.

I think you all seem to be forgetting the RRJ of "now" and the RRJ of "then". Two completely different fighters.

Seems a lot of you are still living in the RJJ wonder years.

go kill yourself you piece of **** .

How the hell is rjj gonna win all those rounds when he can't even stop a pudgy washed up trinidad?

Winning rounds and stopping someone are 2 entirely different things.

The RJJ of now is good enough to handle what the ***** has to offer.

You have to be a better fighter then Joe stylistically to give Roy problems.

I just don't see the invalid being effective with those amateur punches against RJJ, he wasn't even effective against Hopkins.

Hopkins beat himself by not throwing enough while still being competitive with his defense alone.
