In the last few days the tide has turned in this forum and now Jones seems to be the favourite to win tonight. A couple of weeks ago the majority of this board seemed to think this would be a straight decision win for Calzaghe and that this version of Roy was not to be feared. This is now not the case. People seem to have much more confidence in Roy now and think he will be something of his old self tonight. He looks in great shape and has an aura of confidence around him. Even the boxing "experts" have picked up on this and a lot of them favour Jones now.

I just find this very weird. A couple of months ago people were writing off this fight saying that Calzaghe should be fighting Pavlik, and that by fighting Roy, Calzaghe was picking on the weaker boxer. We now know this is not the case.

So, is Jones the favourite, and if he is, would a win for Calzaghe be a greater achievement than some people would give credit for?

hatred for Calzaghe and hype shows like 24/7 make people get caught up on the hype i still got Calz nothing is going change the fact Roy is nearly 40 and has had 1 good performance against an overweight Tito after being knocked out twice

if Glen Johnson can walk Jones down why cant Cazlaghe?

I think it has a lot to do with sentimentality rather that calculated logic. Lets not fool ourselves here, Joe is still the favourite.

People would LOVE to see Roy go out on a fairy tale ending, having beaten the second best fighter P4P, ending his 4 year hiatus from his position as the premier fighter in the sport.

Joe has the bettin odds on his side, but most fans I talk to are backin Roy.

The underdog always gets fancied more when it's closer to fight time.
