    JC has more power than he is given credit for, but will be reluctant to throw as many shots as he'd like or throw them with the conviction he'd like, because he is going to be countered. Hopkins did this, but not with the power of Jones, and Hopkins wore down as the fight went on. Roy will still be hit more in this fight than he has in his entire career. Roy doesn't like getting hit at all! All that being said, I think there is a key in this fight that many are missing. Sure Roy is going to land his straight right hand and left hook, but the key is going to be the uppercut. JC leaves his head unprotected when he throws punches in bunches and leans forward at the same time with his head lowered. He has good footspeed, so he gets away with it against ordinary competition, but Roy has exceptional hand speed and accuracy and doesn't need to set his punches up the way conventional fighters do. Roy will end it with uppercuts and his unique hook-uppercut.

      If Calzaghe wins this fight it makes him the best in the world right?

      Roy isn't faded so if Calzaghe wins he is the best. In fact if Roy is so good then Joe is one of the greatest of all time if he knocks out RJJ?

      No double standards. Answer the question!

      Grararrararrrrrr!!!!!!
      Its a lose lose for old Joe. If he beats Roy its because it ain't the original Roy. When he loses to Roy its because he is overrated. I don't plan on giving Roy any accalade for dropping this guy. I'm just stating what will most likely happen. As much as I dislike Tarver, HE could beat calzaghe. Look, tempur-pedic is overrated. Period. A better brawl would've been Winky versus Joe. With all those pillows in the ring someone definately would've went to sleep.

        He won't. Calzaghe's chin is far too good for that.

                I just want everyone to know that I didnt want to desigrate Roy Jones. He's a fistic heroe of mine and I think he is very special, but I I don't want these chumps taking credit for beating Roy when it isnt the real Roy Jones, the one I practically idolized. None of these guys from Pavlik to Hopkins to Calzaghe would have stood a chance with Roy ten years ago, but Roy is shot, its over and I want him to retire.

                  He should retire, but it's his choice not to. Speaking of choices, he had a chance to school Calzaghe a long time ago, so the fact that he's stepping into a ring with him now... it's his own fault if he loses.

                  I still give Roy a BIG chance in this fight. Roy always was special and it's possible he still has something left in the tank. Only until recently, people had pretty much written Hopkins off, too, but 'Nard proved a lot of people wrong... again.

                  My money is on Calzaghe via UD, but I would happily give Roy the benefit of the doubt.

                      Flash knockdown wasn't a big deal. I didn't see Joe shook up at all. Please stop bull****ting. What I saw was Hopkins crawling around, faking low blows, and Calzaghe pretend to hump him. Is that what you call being "shook up", haterboy?

                      I wish they'd ban you. You offer nothing at all to this website, not even a rational conversation on points you disagree on.

                      Please, mods... ban this clown.
