    Has Roy fought anyone like Calzaghe before?

    I think Roy's gonna have to take a few rounds to study Calzaghe on the 8th. Joe's awkward like Bernard. There's a reason why Bernard lost. Calzaghe has fast hands just like Roy. He comes from different angles and isn't really stationary. I can't recall Roy fighting some1 like Calzaghe before recently. Well Joe's never fought a Roy Jones either. Roy's gonna have to fight his ass off to outwork Calzaghe IMO. I don't know how Roy's gonna do it. I'm hoping though. Your thoughts?

    Jones is not going to win the fight by outworking Calzaghe and I don't really think he should take a few rounds to study Calzaghe because Calzaghe does his best work in the second half of the fight, Jones needs to go into the fight prepared to start quick IMO, he needs to get Calzaghe's respect early.

    And no, Jones hasn't fought a guy like Calzaghe, Calzaghe hasn't fought a guy like Jones.

        RJJR fight great Champions to became a Champion in many weight division, but Slapzaghe did not fight as many champions as RJJR did to became a Champ, but he defeated many bum challengers during his prime and affraid to fight in US soil during that time.

            Joe was a world champion in his own right. Why didnt Jones or Hopkins push for a fight with Joe?

              I wouldnt bother with that guy. Hes barely coherent and cant string a sentence together let alone make a valid boxing argument.
