Joe Calzaghe: "Roy Jones Fight is Tougher Than Hopkins"

[MWMerlino]

Wow thank you for this, I've seen the fight 3 times and haven't been able to tell if Joe landed even one flush punch. Damn good photographer.

This comment is totally viable. Jones will definitely pose a bigger threat than B-Hop.

how?

is rjj gonna get his chin, legs, and stamina back?

is rjj gonna ko calzaghe with the same punches that couldn't even end the shadow of the retired tito trinidad?

rjj has no chance and calzaghe knows it that's why he's taking the fight... also because of the money.

Exactly. Roy wanted big bucks instead of big fights. Which is why it amazes me when certain people criticise Calzaghe for doing the same for his final fight. Roy was doing it during his prime years.

So which is it? You're switching arguments....

Roy wanted big bucks because he was the draw. How does that equal ROY ducking Calzaghe? You have said that everyone avoided Calzaghe....and then said what did woods, and telesco do to get fights with roy....

oh I dunno...FIGHT IN AMERICA like the champ wanted...and take thin purses. Pretty simple. Back then Calzaghe was the one avoiding. Period. NO matter how much spin you Joe fanboys put on it.

Finding that picture must've been like finding Carmen Sandiego when you were a kid. Impressive that anyone could find a clean shot landed to Hopkins chin in that fight. Great picture.

silly goose.... lol.... Yes Joe Calzaghe took this fight for the money and didnt want anything to do with the Pavlik.... Which is COOL. I cant hate on that...

IMO Joe will not be prepared for the Jones that's coming to the fight... I think Joe's Style is perfect for what Jones was looking for.... EASY PUNCHER (so Jones chin wont shatter) a guy that likes to swing a million times (Jones will counter) a guy that gets ****** and lets emotions and pride take over (leaves him wide open, for the right hook counter) this is exactly what Jones wants... I feel Jones will pull Joe to the Ropes and hit with body shots that will hurt and slow him down for the later rounds that will determine the results... this will be a competitive fight.....

Joe Calzaghe feels the bout with Roy Jones Jr, scheduled for September 20 on HBO pay-per-view, will be a tougher bout than his split-points win over Bernard Hopkins in April. Calzaghe feels that Jones looked sharp in beating Felix Trinidad in January, but Trinidad was fighting for the first time in almost three-years and fighting near light heavy for the first time. He says Jones will be the last fight of his career. [details]

lol ok Joe. Whatever you say

Roy's legs aren't as gone as his reflexes. But when you say that they're faded, we have to consider that it's Roy Jones. His 'faded' is still better than most of the comp out there.
