Calzaghe wont lose to Jones.
He may get knocked down and maybe possibly hurt but he has heart and he will continue and outwork Jones.Comment

Any comments?Shane Mosley- Former lightweight, welterweight and junior middleweight champion of the world
"Roy has trouble with southpaws and Calzaghe is a great southpaw. Roy is a fighter that is always on his toes and I think that when Hopkins fought Calzaghe, and was moving a lot, it gave Joe a lot of problems. I think Roy can do the same thing. I think he can cause problems for Joe with his speed. I'm not really sure on Roy right now. I have to lean towards Joe on this one. You can't count Roy out, but I think Joe will get Roy with a lot of combinations and out point him. Roy back in the day would have destroyed Joe, but now Joe will outpoint him with a lot of activity and win the fight.Comment

I like how Oscar is talking about how peoples careers are ending when he can't even manage to keep his own word and retire like he said he would do after the Dec. fight. Now I surely hope Manny cracks that ass. It would be good for him to shut the **** up now. Oscar is just upset that Roy has started a promotions company and has a chance to steal some of his thunder.Last edited by Chase8400; 11-05-2008, 05:17 PM.Comment

Most everybody knows this is true Benny , when the fight was announced all we heard was Roy is a shot fighter , now after the hype a lot give Roy a good shot , gets me with matchups that the majority are against and by fight time its all rah , Roy has a chance but he is still a shot fighter compared to what he once was , Shanes comment is spot on prime Roy destroys Joe .Comment

I like Paulie's comments as well; it's typical of how many Americans are going to be thinking: they know Roy is shot, but for some reason, feel he has a gambler's chance. But, ever since Joe openend his mouth, it's on; they want the Gods to shine on Roy one more time so he can beat Joe. We are all thinking with our hearts in hopes that the heart overcomes logic.
We also have this:
Except for Glenn Johnson did this Champ {Lennox}. But, I hope you are right because Roy back in the day was fine with this. He would just sweep to the side and hit you with the left hook...follow up with some combos and the chicken dance. Damn, I loved Roy back in the day.Lennox Lewis- Former heavyweight champion
"Jones has unbelievable speed and Calzaghe's never fought anyone like him. Jones likes it when his opponent comes to him and unfortunately for Calzaghe, that's exactly what he does; comes to his opponent and is right in their face. I pick Jones on points, but I think it'll be a very close fight."Last edited by Benny Leonard; 11-05-2008, 05:36 PM.Comment
