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

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Its a no win situation. If he KO's Jones, people will just say Jones was shot to pieces anyway and that a bum couldve beaten him. If he goes the distance, they'll say Joe couldnt even stop a shot Jones etc.

People said the similar things when Tarver beat Jones. Even using weight as an excuse. Some people are unwilling to accept that Jones can be beaten.

Zero credit. If he beats Roy, it just proves that Roy is shot. A non-shot Roy would brutally KO Calzaghe at will.

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

Jones is shot. Calzaghe deserves no credit for this retirement easy fight. Once again Joe's fans are beyond pathetic.

he would'nt be discredited if he had'nt ducked Pavlik to take Jones on a 40 year old man ,he dont deserve credit for that

You've never boxed, and have no clue what you're talking about. fOnce again you bull**** and lie. Typical.

A LOT of people are ALREADY saying Jones is shot. Like me. Over and OVER again. But you'll just pretend that we just started saying it after the fight because it fits in with your nutty biased worldview.

Pavlik is a nobody, even worse than Calzaghe.

Jones is 10X better than Pavlik.

Pavlik would go through Roy like a dose of salts right now , other way around years ago .

Joe hides out in Europe his whole career building up his record then decides to go to America when Jones and Hopkins are old men lol

what a champ

Yeah so you can have the excuse when he loses. And then if he manages to win, you'll add more significance to it because he's supposedly shot. Wonder how many would say Calzaghe is "shot" if he loses....considering he's only 2 years younger?

People hate who they wanna hate and praise who they wanna praise. If Joe C wins decisively, he'll get his props from me and whoever else is unbiased.
