    IDK why people are so intent on seeing claslappy in the ring with Pavlik. Pavlik has to move up 15 pounds to a weight he hasn't even seen before to fight Calzaghe, who is very comfortable at that weight and has taken down THE man in that weightclass. I see a one sided UD in Calslappy's favor.

He says Jones will be the last fight of his career. [details]
      calzaghe just wants to sell the fight. he knows rjj is a ghost of his former greatness and the rjj of the 90's would've destroyed Tito

            yea, its just talk. hype. or whatever you wanna call it. roy will be easier to hit than hops, but will be more dangerous offensively than hopkins.

            idk, roy is past it, hops is past it, but this will still be a good fight, moe entertaining than the hopkins fight, for the simple fact calzaghe just isn't "that great" to me......

            he lost to hopkins by a point, and i see roy winning a UD.......

            my opinion.

                Styles wise, Hopkins is harder.

                    Roys Jones Jr. is closer in age to Calzaghe (Calzaghe is thirty six) so maybe Joe is right here.

                    Also, we must all remember that Roy Jones is the first Middleweight World Champion in eighty years to become the Heavyweight Champion of the World and yet Joe has fought just once at Light Heavyweight!
