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

[THE REED]

I think you still think this fight is all about Roy, it isn't. Unless he becomes Hopkins overnight, Roy is going to need his legs against Joe, just as he needed them against Johnson in particular.

As for his stamina, sure I'm yet to see him exhausted in a recent fight, but I'm also yet to see him fighting hard and expending a lot of energy, again, something he is going to need.

it is about roy, because roy is the superiorly gifted fighter.... but hes past his prime... the thing is, if roy comes in looking like his old self... which... is in fact hard to visualize, then roy will win this fight...

By everyone agreeing roy beats joe every single day in his prime... that means roy has the SKILLS to beat joe... the question is, can roys body do it?

and that is why this fight IS about roy... because if he SHOWS UP.. roy will win... if hes old... then he loses... i think this fight completely depends on how Roy fights... period.

[Chunk..]

I can't imagine it being very slick. What fight does he do that in?

I think it was the Byron Mitchell fight? Didn't look good, he got dropped soon after i think?

[Truth]

I hope Joe has his legs like he has in past fights aswell.

[Chunk..]

I think the Roy Jones crew on here want this win real bad, i know i do.

But Roy isn't prime. And...I don't agree, obviously.

chunk, your rooting calzaghe right?

[Stickman]

Conditioning. That's it. If he could, somehow, be conditioned enough to be able to throw for 12 rounds at Zaggs' pace, he could take a decision. That's the only guaranteed way for him to win.

There's another chance, but it's slim to none: If he jumps on Zaggs from the starting bell, while he's still cold, he might possibly be able to hurt Zaggs enough to get a TKO (probably won't get him actually down for a 10 count...possible, but highly unlikely...Zaggs' recovery time from a KD is nearly non-existant), but again, very slim chance, and it would have to be early, before Calzaghe gets into his rythm. The big drawback to this is that if he jumps on Joe, he's going to burn up all that energy he'll need for later rounds, and will, without doubt, end up KO'd himself.

No Brit can root against Calzaghe, it's impossible.
