Why I think Roy Jones will deafeat Joe Calzaghe

[Truth]

This post is very reasonable. Its objective...great post.

Roy cameback way too soon after that Tarver KO. Emanuel Steward says it all the time...

Great post by welt. I disagree however in your winnerpick. I believe Joe will outpoint RJJ on basis of workrate alone. Rjj is also chinny. Thats well-known, so a KO is not out of the question.

Regarding the concussion let me add that there recently was made a survey of american football players. One of the things the survey said was that without proper time to heal, the likelyness of another and far worse concussion is multiplied. It also said, if I recall correctly, that the more concussions you sustain the easier it is to get the next concussion thereby making you susceptible to permanent braindamage.

Boxers live that risk everytime they spar, let alone fight.

The athletic commissions would have picked up a concussion and not let him fight.

Danish fighter Johnny Jensen fought his last 2 fights with a severe braindamage. He cannot concentrate today and he cannot stay outside in the sun without getting headaches.

It's not like it happened in The Upper Volta 50 years ago, no it happened in such well-established nations as Denmark and France. Those commisions definetely has got something to think about and a lesson is there to be learned for everybody who loves the sport.

I will not go in to further details in this matter as it is a little off-topic.

That's crazy, I would hope the state athletic commissions in the US have more thorough testing.

An investigation is ongoing in Denmark (it happened in 2007-2008). The top guys are washing there hands. It's a bit ugly.

That 'incident' is the reason why Kessler fights Haussler in Germany. Mogens Palle (and probably most boxingpeople) considers this fight a gross mis-match. Palle doesn't want a potential disaster held in Denmark, so at the purseoffer he bid very low. He fears another tragedy might be the end of pro-boxing in this country.

That's really a shame, hopefully the people over there get everything settled.

Jensen fought Monrose with a braindamage for the european title. A disgrace. I posted a pic of the weigh-in:

Jensen was brutally KO'ed in a round.

This is what gives boxing a bad name, this stuff shouldn't happen.

What?

I see someone saying "Calzaghe is garbage" on the first page, but nothing like that has been said by a Calzaghe fan about Jones anywhere in this thread.

Yeah its only because I am picking RJJ.. I actually WANT Calzaghe to win..

Only recently the Boxing Commision realised that Samuel Peter has been completely brain dead all his career.
