Jones has as much chance of beating Calz as Judah had of beating Clottey

    But what I'm saying is Jones has a chance. People act like Calzaghe is the god of boxing and its impossible for Roy to win. Thats not true, Roy is still a good pro and has a shot.

      I'm a Hopkins fan and I picked Calzaghe over Hopkins. So I don't pick fighters to win because I'm a fan. I usually go with logic, but this time I'm going against logic. I personally see Roy winning. I said it the night Calzaghe faught Hopkins. Honestly I think Calzaghe is a great fighter and I respect him. I'm just in this instance am going with the underdog.

        If you're looking for me to say its possible then I can say it, this is boxing so of course it is. It would be a bit pointless if we just went around saying, either fighter can win, because its possible, wouldn't it? I don't view todays Jones as a particularly good fighter, certainly no longer at the elite level, and I expect Calzaghe to beat him comfortably.

          Its all good, I'm tired of arguing about this stuff.

          I think Roy Jones Jr. will win, it actually doesn't have to do with bias. Like I said I picked Calzaghe over Hopkins and I'm Hopkins fan as well.

          If you think Calzaghe will win, good for you. He probably will, but I'm going against the grain this time.

            Yeah, its all good. I can see why some feel Roy could win, he was a very good fighter. We all have our own opinions!

              My post earlier was dumb, your right people are suppose to write argumentative posts. your not suppose to be objective, your suppose to say Calzaghe will win. Thats what makes it fun. I guess I'm guilty of not liking it when people write off things I like. It pissed me off all last year when people were writing the Celtics off. I've been a huge Roy Jones fan for years(favorite boxer all time for me), so I really want to see him end his career with a big win. But people are right to pick against him, he hasn't been an elite fighter in a lonnng time.

                It wasn't dumb, and although I think its more fun when people post strong opinions, I think everyone here, especially me, could benefit from being more objective. I think as well that its easy to misconstrue innocuous disagreement over boxing as something along the lines of "OMFG! You are a moron!". I do it all the time. With me, if I don't call you a moron, it means I think you aren't!
