What does the Roy Jones of TODAY need to do to beat Calzaghe.

[Truth]

roy was running in the mountains for Tito. I always heard roy was gym rat with no bad habits such as drinking/smoking. maybe i'm wrong...

wow. I wonder what he does, do you know?

No idea, but a good way to do it is to run 7 to 10 miles a day. Only problem with that is you wear out your joints doing it. Swimming is better, but then you have to have a nice sized pool.

I think he probably was, I always heard he was a good boy in the gym, but there's a difference between training hard, and conditioning yourself like I'm talking about. It's an entire new level. I ran 5 miles a day (or more) every morning for most of my military service, and even that didn't give me the kind of conditioning I'd need to swing like Zaggs does for 12.

It's not really about Roy doing anything wrong, but when was the last time Roy threw Calzaghe volume punches in a fight? It's just not his game, which has always been about speed and skill. Calzaghe has to be doing something to enable him to have that high a workrate, which may be the highest that weight range has ever seen. If you ever see a video of Calzaghe training, its always him running the hills near his ****ty gym in Wales. Truly, I cannot imagine Roy doing the same down and dirty hard work training, he's a global superstar, and to back it up I would simply ask whether Roy has ever exhibited the kind of workrate and stamina Joe does routinely, just as I would ask whether I've ever seen Calzaghe throw punches and move with the flair exhinbited by Jones.

roy isn't really hollywood though. hes an outdoors guy. he like horses, fishing stuff like that. He lives on a farm.

I watched Calzaghe against hopkins and kessler and he wasn't throwing thousands of punches. Unless I missed them...I watched those fights a while ago.

I do know what I'm talking about, but by the same token, I'm wrong sometimes, too. Not as often anymore, but it happens. The more I run an upcoming fight through my head and study it, though, the more likely I am to be right, and I've see alot of both Jones and Calzaghe that I'd say I'm likely to be right by probably 85% or better. The Vitali/Sam Peter fight, I'll say I'm about 95& likely to be right (Calling for a KO win by Klitchko). As for Manny/Oscar, that's 100%, Oscar can't lose unless he throws it on purpose.
But hell, you never know...I might miss all three of these in a row. Never happened before, but there's a first time for everything.
