Why I think Joe Calzaghe will defeat Roy Jones JR.
Collapse
-
- Joe cannot win a decision over Roy Jones Jr with American judges in New York, such as Julie Lederman.
- Because of hand injuries, Joe cannot punch like he could when he fought Eubank, Mitchell and Sheika. So he is unlikely to knock Jones out.
- Joe will be fighting in a new environment, Madison Square Gardens against a fighter who has fought there and loves the place.
- Joe appeared to be somewhat past prime in the first couple of rounds against Kessler, and much so in the early rounds against Hopkins. In his past fights, such as Eubank, he started strong.
- Jones is somewhat faded but NOT a shot fighter.
Prediction: Although it will be fairly close, Joe will deserve a decision win in this one, but will lose on the scorecards.

why do people keep saying Jones isnt shot?
Its obvious that he is shot and totally shot at that.
A Jones that cant beat Tarver is a shot Jones.I wish with all my heart that he wasnt but he is and thats itComment

Tunney, of course Calzaghe can win a decision, he just has to make sure its clear. Because of the Hopkins fight everyone seems to be expecting Joe to look ****, but he won't, Jones isn't Hopkins and won't be able to stop Calzaghe from boxing in the same way.- Joe cannot win a decision over Roy Jones Jr with American judges in New York, such as Julie Lederman.
