    How well does Calzaghe have to beat Jones for you not to discredit him?

    Let's be honest, Calzaghe won't get ANY credit for this fight (not on Boxingscene anyway, If Lacy, Kessler and Hopkins didn't get credit), but thats not what I'm asking.

    How well does Calzaghe have to do against Jones for this fight not to DISCREDIT him.

    The Hopkins fight kinda turned out a bit bad for him, e.g "even a 43 yr old Hopkins gave him a close fight".

    So will it be this after the Jones fight "Even a 39 yr old Jones who was way past prime and had been KO'd twice could take Calzaghe the distance".

    I'll put up a poll
    60
    KO/TKO Rd 1-6
    20.00%
    12
    KO/TKO Rd 6-12
    5.00%

    UD 120-108 Calzaghe
    3.33%

    Calzaghe is discredited for taking this fight anyway

    Calzaghe gets credit from me if he beats Jones Convincingly

    Calzaghe will drop his P4P place if he has a SD with Jones

      Couldn't have put it better myself.

      Notice how this statement is true for ALL boxers.

          How much credit can you give to someone whose own fans admit is fighting a fight which is nothing more than a glorified payday?

            GREATJOE even though your an ******* and Red K me just for speaking out against Joe I'll tell ya what I think. If Joe were to ko/tko jones I would for sure give him props. Ko'n jones is not the easiest thing to do. If he wins like 8 rounds I'll give him props as well. Either way its not a great win to beat jones but a decent one. Now KO Pavlik, that would be something.

              The slap wont win but if he does I will give him P4p #1 because Jones is by far better than anyone he's fought.

                  Thats not entirely true , Joe has taken the low road his entire career and people see the Bhop fight and Jones fight as being many years to late , its obvious Joe is looking to ride on the back of their high profile names at a time when they a clearly nowhere near what they were , how much credit do you want for struggling with old former great fighters that are almost shot .
