Will Roy Jones Drop Calslappy Like So?

He does get hurt. To think that shots from the likes of Kessler, Eubank, Mitchell, etc don't hurt is pretty dumb. The important thing is how quickly you can recover.
I think that's what CJ meant by it; that he hasn't been hurt enough to get dropped and stay down.

LOLZ, calzaghe and trinidad are about as unlike each other as possible for two boxers. trinidad is tailor made for roy - one dimensional, he stands right in front of you, loads up for one big shot at a time, and he's shot, too. calzaghe throws maybe 150 punches / slaps per round, never comes straight in - always at angles. the fight with trinidad looked like two guys sparring, calzaghe will put pressure on roy and make him fight. RJJ won't be able to stand there and pick his shots like he did on tito, he'll be waiting for the gaps in joe's punches. if i were roy, i would try to pick my shots - hit joe on the ear, the temple, the chin, eye, all the places that do the most damageComment

You forgot to mention Trinidad's legendary iron chin. Unlike Calzaghe who got knocked out three times but benefitted from long counts and cheating Trinidad was never knocked down ever. His supposed "knockdowns" against Alberto Cortes, Anthony Stephens, Yori Boy Campas, Oba Carr, Kevin Lueshing, David Reid, and Bernard Hopkins were all slips. The last slip resulted in him bashing his head on a hard spot on the ring which left him slightly dazed, although the ring came off worse.I think he will, kid.
Calzaghe always reminds me of a blown up former welterweight who had never fought at 170lbs and had been retired for nearly three years.
I think you're onto something. Well done you.
So if Roy could knock down the Man Of Steel, Felix Tito Trinidad, he'll have no problem knocking out the slack jawed Welshman, probably with a jab.Comment

Getting knocked down isn't indicative of a bad chin or even a suspect one - particularly early in your career (Trinidad was 20 when he first won the welter title). Pernell Whitaker was dropped several times early, as was Oscar De La Hoya and a slew of others. But as some poster mentioned above, it's how well you recover when you get up. Tito stopped ever single person you listed except for Hopkins and Reid (who he dropped four times and ruined).You forgot to mention Trinidad's legendary iron chin.

As Larry Merchant said, "You don't go through 20-something odd championship fights without the ability to take a punch." That applies to both Calzaghe AND Trinidad.Comment

I'm making a point here. People are saying that Calzaghe has a weak chin because he got dropped by Salim, Mitchell and Hopkins, all the while ignoring the fact that Trinidad has been dropped more times than an ugly baby.Getting knocked down isn't indicative of a bad chin or even a suspect one - particularly early in your career (Trinidad was 20 when he first won the welter title).

I didn't claim that Calzaghe is superman,What I meant was althoigh he's obviously been hurt he's never been hurt to a serious degree in 45 fights.
Unlike the dude below trying to rewrite history by claiming that Calzaghe has been knocked out 3 times and that Felix ''Tito'' Trinidad is the man of steel who's never been knocked down and just slips on occasion in the ring....lol
Lmao It's always amusing when someone tries to rewrite history..lolYou forgot to mention Trinidad's legendary iron chin.
