    Calzaghe is past his prime...

    People keep talking about Roy being out of it, but look at Calzaghe.
    1 million hand injuries and what not, he's not 25 anymore.
    I already see excuses from a bunch of little snitches trying to already discredit the main man, Joe.
    Both fighters are well past their prime so whoever wins, gets FULL credit!!!

    Calzaghe is in his boxing prime, meaning hes winning his best fights now. But your right, hes past his physical prime from a technical stand point.

      I think Calzaghe should get some credit for a win. But to say he deserves the kind of credit they would have gotten if he beat Roy of 1997 is wrong...

          Yep, he is.

          Calzaghe is nearly 37, not that much younger than Roy. His hands have been ****ed since before he turned pro, but they have got worse and worse over the years. And are now totally ****ed up.

          Just because Joes winning his biggest fights now, doesn't mean he's in his prime

            Please stop trying to make it seem like what its not.

            One has had his biggest wins in the past three years.

            The other is 3-3 in his last six fights.

            But thanks for playing.

              Joe Calzaghe is in his boxing prime. He just beat Lacy, Kessler and Hopkins.

              Jones is thought to be shot to pieces by most boxing fans and writers. Jones is a 4-1 underdog going into this fight. Joe Calzaghe is top 5 p4p. If roy wins its a great accomplishment.

              If Joe wins, its a good accomplishment. But you can't tell me he beat the Roy Jones who knocked out Griffin in one round. Theres just different consequences because each figher is in a different place in their careers.

                Hey ******, it's not Joe's fault that Roy can't properly age.
                Roy never even had any serious injury and still got knocked out silly by bums. On top of that, Roy's heart doesn't even come remotely close to the one of Joe. Roy gets knocked down he STAYS down *****! Joe gets up like a gladiator and takes your heart away in the same ****ing round! (remember poor Popkins that was too afraid to capitalize)

                Making excuses right now shows;
                1. *****ness.
                2. Bitchiness.
                3. Snitchiness.
                4. Fear of loss.
                5. Mama boy.

                Save your excuses people, when Joe spanks Roy. Better stay in your shell and be quiet while you listen to me and my fellow Brits cheer.

                Cheers Limeys.

                  Most great fighters in history were done by age 39. Leonard was never the same in his late 30's.
