          40% with 7000 votes and that percentage could easily be overtaken if a vast majority voted.No one should base their opinion off of a poll with only 7000 votes when there are millions of boxing fans that don't vote.

            What do you guys expect? These are casual fans. Fact Jones is a known and popular boxing figure in America. Fact number two (no disrespect) no one really knows who Calzaghe is in America.

              Of course people know who he is! His fights were televised on showtime way back and he has recently had the Kessler fight televised along with the Lacy and Hopkins fight.He wouldn't of gotten 40 percent of the votes against Jones if he wasn't known.

                I know people know who he is. My point was that he's not well known by causal boxing fans. So don't you think his lack of familiarity to some of the American voters could sway the vote?

                Of course they do that's why you see the disparity which makes my point fairly accurate.

                    We are talking about Roy Jones here.Even tho he was knocked out and is on the decline at one point in time he was Mr unstopable and Mr uknockoutable.I am sure his memory has stuck in the fans minds and that could cloud their judgment.

                      Exactly that's what popularity does for you.
