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

[THE REED]

I mean about Prime Roy vs Joe.

yeah well id say your about in the 5% minority on that one... prime 168 roy wipes the floor with joe

[Chunk..]

chunk, your rooting calzaghe right?

I like Calzaghe, but i like Roy more.

That's all am saying!

All you delusional Roy fans make me puke! Jones can't even put away a blown up welter so just forget about the undisputed granite chinned LHW being put down.This fight will be so one sided that you will cry in your Roy Jones shrine and pray to Jones god that he survives the fight without brain damage.He won't get the decesion or a KO

[Fenom]

roy needs to stay off the ropes...that will be big for him if he can.

agreed, he can not afford to be on the ropes with a volume puncher like Calzaghe

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.

exactly....lets face it Calzaghe fans are BANKING that a spent Roy shows up that night cuz if the Roy of old shows up:

ALL NIGHT LONG

and this opinion of Roy needing to stay off the ropes is also wrong.. the ropes are a good place to be for an older veteran fighter... if in fact roys legs are weaker than Joes... then staying in the middle of the ring gives Joe the advantage... staying on the ropes takes legs out of the equation, and now its whose better with the hands, and i take even this roy all day long over joe with the hands...

Go ahead Joe, flurry your wide little combo heart away while roy is on the ropes... see what happens.

Not so much banking....it's really more like knowing.

[Truth]

the roy of old isn't showing up. He left the house in 2003. But maybe a reduced Roy will be good enough.
