    didn't pavlik-hopkins teach people anything?

    boxing is about more then whats on paper. on paper pavlik kicks hopkins on ass. in real life, hopkins out boxes pavlik.

    on paper joe calzaghe should beat roy jones. in real life...we'll see.


    whats on paper sometimes doesn't mean ****.

    Here's what I PM'd someone earlier.

    People are saying Jones could do what Hopkins did and suprise us all, when the difference is Hopkins beat Tarver and Winky, then lost a close one to Calzaghe. Not looking good, still the level of opposition is good. Jones has been fighting guys like Ajamu or whatever the **** he's called, Hanshaw and Tito and not looking great, although he did dominate Tito. I rekon Calzaghe should have to much left in the tank to lose to this version of Jones, I thought he might have been slipping against Hopkins but now we just know that B Hop has a lot left. I can see Jones having his moments in the first 6, and maybe dropping Joe, but I doubt he will be able to keep up in the latter stages of the fight.
    That's my thoughts on this.

      but its still a situation where everybody ran their mouth saying one thing...

      and then in the end they looked like fools. You guys are seriously underestimating Roy Jones Jr. Thats all I'll say...your writing a 4 division champ off as peter manfredo. look out...

        Nah, i'm not writing Roy off just yet. Tito ain't no Calzaghe, but Jones did look good in that fight. He will be motivated for this too, so you never know.

          even at 40, i'll say it right now, Roy Jones is the most talented fighter Calzaghe has ever faught. Roy is one of the smartest fighters of all time.

            I know Roy hasn't faught the best comp in a long time. I know what your saying. But theres that old saying that every great fighter has one great fight left in him. I think Roy is going throw kitchen sink in this one...

              calzaghe fans, don't take this as an insult but another reason i think roy will win is i think calzaghe is overated. I never said that until now, but thats how i really feel. And I think roy has the style to expose that.

              Its not that I don't think Joe Calzaghe is great fighter, I do. Its just I think people think too highly of him. Hes great, but I think some over do it...
