    Haha, it's all cool in the gang man. I just had ****ers and mash, and you said yourself you had a chicken earlier. Bringer, you have tuna?

    See, no ones got beef.
    Took me a second to figure out exactly what the hell you just said, but I eventually got it, lol.

      Any fan of Stallone is a friend of mine, we're just going to have to disagree about Calzaghe until one of us dies first.
      Likewise, can't recall, but all cool. I'm a few years older but every things in working order. What's your health insurance saying, ETA 80?

        I was only messin son..

        But what if Joe does win though reed would you say that Most would say
        that Joe was the better fighter had the better legacy etc AND do you give any credit to Joe if he does beat Jones?
        my thing is... roy WAS a way better fighter than joe, so this fight completely depends on WHICH roy shows up... the best roy will beat joe, not even the best roy will beat joe... the roy we saw a few years ago will lose to joe... it depends, on what version of roy joe beats... joe will get credit, but not the kind of credit he thinks he deserves for it... roy ISNT prime, not even close... at 36, joe is near the end of prime.. but near the end of prime.. and WAY past prime are a HUGE difference...

        Joe beating Roy NOW, does not in any way shape or form mean that joe was always the better fighter... or had the better legacy...

        Roy did something nobody did in a over 100 years... former MW champion going to HW winning and coming back down to LHW...

        Joe stayed in a stalemate division, a division that is only a little over 20 years old to begin with... He beat lacy, who was SUPPOSED to be good, but as we saw, he WASNT... Kessler is a very good fighter, but not great.. who has kessler beaten? the same guys he continues to fights... He moved up to 170 fight a 42 yr old Bernard... Bernard looked horrible in that fight, and so did Joe to be honest...I think it was a contrast of styles... bernard was tired by round 5, and Joe only won a split decision...

        Now Joe is going to end his career with a guy who hasnt had a win over an elite opponent since 2004... coming from 2 KOs and a lopsided UD loss... winning over one bum... one undefeated prospect, and a retired tito...

        Even though I believe Roy can still beat Joe... Roy has really dont nothing to prove he can still fight at the elite level.. so... how much credit can Joe truly be given?

        But when we talk about what Roy did in his prime... and what Bernard is STILL doing... Joe is in 3rd place.

          yeah roy looks good... lookin forward to the 24/7 episode for sure...

          yeah the indiana jones look i wasnt feelin lol.. he does that **** on purpose, to try and cover himself up as much as possible before a fight, he doesnt like people seeing his body or what kind of shape hes in.. its a mental age kind of thing.. same reason jordan wore a new pair of sneakers before every game.. he said it always just made him feel better.
          I think the reason why he doesn't shave and i've noticed it on many occasions is that 100% focused on the fight. He eats, sleeps, and ****s boxing when he's training and doesn't have time to shave because he's on the grind. As far as the dress code I have no idea what he was thinking!

            Cool reed i get ya mate..
            Guess i confused the better fighter right now with the better legacy.
            Maybe a bit hasty in saying that these last fights decide each guys legacy completley forgetting what Jones has already achieved ie..heavyweight champion etc..

            So in saying that really no matter what Joe does from here his not really topping either Jones or Hop's legacy right now

              Its not saying he cant top it... but beating roy wont top it... if he beat roy, then beat chad dawson, i think hed be damn close..

              but beating roy just isnt proving it... thats why joe has everything to lose and roy has everything to gain...

              if roy loses its because he doesnt have it anymore... if roy wins... then a past his prime roy beat joe... which ****s all over joes legacy, and skyrockets roys

                So Joe is in a tight corner here then thats a proper Big gamble to be taking

                    lol

                    I know thats the real reason Joe is taking this.In his auto he swore blind he wouldnt fight Jones because it wasnt the Jones we all knew in the past i lost a lot of respect for joe after that.
                    And its a question of becareful what you wish for cause i have no doubt the minute the fight was signed that Roy Jones would win it..
                    His been written off to quick....
