Joe Calzaghe didn't fight 45 Roy Jones Jr.'s

[Technical_Skill]

Roy never fought someone who threw over 1,000 punches and is a southpaw. Calzaghe= Bad style for Roy. You can bring up the fact Calzaghe was knock down by bother Hopkins and Roy, but he got back up and won those fights.

If your grandfather knocks you over, then you get up and beat him up, does that make you great?

If Joe threw a 1000 punches at a 29yr old Roy... he would be countered to death.

Punches?

I think your obviously a joe nut hugger.

No way Roy would have fought Joe C 45 times, he'd have rather fought Bryant Brannon 45 times instead.

Prime Calzaghe vs Prime Jones is a close fight. Anybody who disagrees is a hater, or a nuthugger.

pime jones annihiliates "prime" (if you can even call it that) calzaghe

[S.G.]

Roy beats Calzaghe prime-for-prime (probably by KO) but Calzaghe gives him a fight while it lasts... His style makes him awkward for anyone, and he is actually better than people give him credit for around here

The ass whopping Joe gave Roy still clearly hurts his fans.

Kidding.....

The orlybirds! What makes me mad about Calzaghe is when some writers say, referring to Jones "...but it's no shame losing to Calzaghe, an ATG" and in the same breath they DENY those honors to people like Mosley, Toney and the likes, people who actually fought prime opposition, people who beat RJJ in his prime, people who beat terminator Margarito when they were supposed to lose giving place to a rematch aka tuneup, those are not ATG, Joe Calzaghe is!? This is outrageous. It's propaganda to try and elevate outside of the rings someone who couldn't elevate himself inside, it has happened before and it will happen again. To think Ricky Hatton could be in that same position had he fought 43 year old Mayweather or 40 year old Manny Pacquiao... How good would that be for boxing? Because even his fans know he's way overrated. People who aren't particular fans see this supposed ATG fighting and think "wow, i'ma stick to mma, if this guy is the best boxing has i'm having none of this boxing ****". Then you have networks closing and shows canceled not able to sell. MMA has no such problems, much on the contrary, they expanding.

end of thread....go back to page 1 through...let's see now...26, and majority of the posts consisted of roy trumping joe, and it didn't happen, so as usual, the whole prime debate comes tinfold...re, your boy lost---get over it...he got dominated in fact--and roy jones is my 4th favorite fighter ever...joe cal, didn't even crack top 30 for me as my favorite fighters....roy knocked him down with his forearm in round 1 and then he was dominated....i don't see joe beating roy in roy's prime either but i don't bring that up because of how roy lost how he did...johnson knocked roy out, and so did tarver---you guys tralk about this prime ****...that's what i don't get...before the fight---your fighter is too good to lose--after he does lose--then the excuses come out to play....the same thing goes when floyd beats somebody---it's always excuses---if these guys are past their prime after they lose---why do they keep fighting and claiming that they are in great shape and they feel so young and all that other ****...

it cracks me up...maybe, now just maybe, the fighter they lost to was just the one to age them, because of how good he was....hmmmmmm....i'll go with that one....hopkins beat up pavlik when he was in his 40s....what does that say about hopkins? or pavlik for that matter? is hop just that damn good---or was kelly just that damn bad? or was kelly just that damn good until running into hop, who showed just how bad he is? maybe roy just met his match once again.....
