    Be honest ?? do you actually believe that Jones can beat Calzaghe???
    I know thats what your saying and all ! but you cant actually believe what your saying can ya!?
    Gamisou malaka!!

    This fight won't be easy for Joe....Roy is a legend and he still has power and those fast hands. Joe will have his hands full this time because unlike Hopkins, Roy is actually going to punch back with combinations.

      Are you implying Joe didn't have his hands full last time while he was slapping air all night?

        Nothing of the sort my good man!!

        Only reason Calzaghe won against B-Hop was his higher work rate, putting old B-hop's 43 year old body on the defensive due to Joe's better stamina and outpointing him by slapping at air and gloves all fight long while the old man showed glimpses of what he would have done to Joe 5 years earlier had they met by dropping him on his ass in the first round.

        All I'm saying is, don't count Roy out. He is past his best but his losses to Glenn and Tarver came after he destroyed his body by yo-yoing all the way up and down heavyweight. I think his body and psyche has healed a great deal from all that now and Joe will be in trouble when Roy realizes that he won't be able to hurt him.

        A confident Roy=big trouble for Calzaghe.

        Don't be surprised if Roy pulls out the UD even KO. I can't wait for this fight...B-Hop is boring, Roy is actually fun to watch.

            Adjamu,Johnson ,Hanshaw all hurt Jones neither of those are considered real punchers
            I don't remember any of those fighters hurting Jones, and I sat ringside for two of them.

            This fight will come down to how much Jones has left in the tank. Simple, really.

              Glen Johson did not hurt him ?

              Adjamu hurt him in about round 2 when he was on the ropes and i think the Jones uppercut that hurt Hanshaw was a retaliation because just before that i believe Jones had been buzzed by Hanshaw

              he was not badly hurt that is was clear cut but it was like Judah hurting Cotto

                Apologies. I did not see Johnson's name.

                Adjamu caught Jones with a solid left in the first. Jones took it well and fought back. He dominated the second round.

                I was ringside for the Hanshaw bout. At no point did he stun, buzz, or hurt Jones.

                    When has Jones been "hurt" from punches that Joe likes to throw? Roy's been hurt from the one punch power like Tarver and Johnson put on him. When in the last 5 years has Joe Calzaghe had that one punch power that will hurt Jones like Tarver and Johnson did? Look for Jones to stick his tounge out and tap his stomach at Joe if he does that wild and crazy swinging stuff. Can you imagine how pissed Joe would get if Jones starts making fun of him in the ring? We all know Joe gets into his retaliation modes when ever tagged. I think mind games will be played in the ring. This is going to be a great chess match......
