Roy Jones Jr. vs. Joe Calzaghe is Set, Sam Peter Next?

[mikenorfcutt7]

Whadda ya mean "ask Klitschko"?? When everyone was regarding Peter as an unstoppable KO Killer (Mainly due to the PR of his management and the almost dead bodies he was knocking over) Klitschko JUMPED at the opportunity to fight him. Peter knocked Klitschko down 3 times. the 1st was the culmination of a series of rabbit punches, which "BLIND RANDY NEUMANN" should have already DQ'd Peter for, and which the analysts properly pointed out.

The 2nd was a shoulder grab and push to the canvas, with no blow struck, which the analysts properly pointed out.

The 3rd was the finale of a "bums rush" of Peter across the ring, making Klitscko retreat very fast, overbalancing and falling to the ropes where he bounced to the canvas, from which he got up right away, unharmed. Peter's swinging punches just fanned the air, and perhaps the last one may have been the merest graze, if anything at all. Peter hit Klitschko with several legit hard right hands during the fight, without bothering him at all, so maybe he doesn't punch nearly as hard as his "set-ups" indicated. Klitschko taught a clumsy beginner all about the art of boxing that night, and won every round on the judges cards except the ones in which BLIND RANDY gave KD's.

When peter fought klitschko he was still inexperienced. he was just a slugger. and yea he threw a few rabbid punches but he connected right on the chin of wvlad and rocked him to the floor twisted body and dazed recovery and all. peter since then, learned how to use his jab to set up his big right hand and defensive skills. They will meet again and heavywieghts will finally have a ppv bout. Beleive me its going to be the first heavyweight superfigt in years. its the only one im looking forward too. need more fighters like peter. tired of wanna be's trying to move up in weight. HAYE is a perfect example of su 1 who talks too much and aint done **** yet!!!

Man I wish I had the confidence of some of the other Roy fans on this board. Guys, have you been watching Roy? He looks less than 50% as good as he did before Ruiz. He looks pretty much gone to me. I think Joe will just throw too many punches.

The light heavyweight contest between Joe Calzaghe (45-0, 32 KOs) and Roy Jones Jr. (52-4, 38 KOs) appears to be a go for September 20. Instead of Las Vegas, the event will likely take place at New York's Madison Square Garden. The card will be televised by HBO pay-per-view, as expected. [details]

Roy Jones was once a great great fighter. But his time has passed. I can't see the man going the distance with Joe.

[Chase8400]

roy is the thing of the past. if he cannot inflict serious damaged on felix trinidad who was more stationery and very sloppy, how can he inflict damaged to a more agressive and dynamic puncher in joe calzaghe?

what is left with roy is his wild imagination that he can still deliver the same punches a decade ago.

calzaghe will made fun out of roy.

Calzaghe a more dynamic puncher than Tito? What are you smoking? Besides, Jones let Trinidad off the hook on purpose. He admitted that he liked the guy after the fight even. He could have KO'd him at any time, but Jones don't like to hurt folks no more. I thought you knew something.

[daggum]

calzaghe punches harder than trinidad wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fantasyworld.

[mikenorfcutt7]

I have realized how much most of the people on here enjoys the taste of calzaghe's d*ck. But please realize joe has no power and if you watch the trinidad fight and listened to coach merk ask roy "did you see what you wanted out of him out there?" you would realize jones has become a chess player. He doesnt go into fights intent on slaughtering opponents. he has a gameplane designed for each fighter with different styles. You will not see the same style jones used against tito being used aginst joe. jones knows he will have to outperform him out move him and of course out punch him. first few rounds will go to joe becuse in those rounds roy will figure him out and began surgery on the fight, disecting and tearing joe down. look for joe to hit the canvas off of left hooks and straight right hands. plus joe has never been chopped to the body and roy will expose that area. roy is only 4 years older. this aint foreman vs morrison. joe will be beat to the punch!!! Look for enzo to threaten to throw in the towel

[ml2niceguy]

i really hate calzaghe and would like to see roy jones whup his ass but i don't see it happening

[Mike_R]

I think Roy has significantly more power than Joe. But I also think Joe has a great chin and a possible edge on speed.

This will be a great fight- regardless how you feel about either fighter. Style wise its a cream dream- old Roy is still fast and skilled.

If Roy wins this fight, he should retire. Doing anything else wouldn't prove anything. Beating the undefeated #2 P4P fighter in the world after people have been calling you washed up for nearly half a decade would be the stuff of absolute legends.

That being said, Calzaghe wins in an easy UD after the world realizes that Jones is barely capable of throwing more than 2 punches at a time.

Yeah this is the key to the fight to mine. I don't think Roy has the ability to throw punches in bunches like he used to and as a result I think he will get out-worked to a decision.
