Is it right for a champion to act like Calzaghe did?

[Motofan]

Roy regularly went out of his way to not only beat but clown and demean opponents who long before fight time had no business in the ring with him. That he ended with it done to him is not anything less than poetic justice.

Pretty much. I didnt like seeing it but he had it coming. His clowning early on in this fight sticking out his tongue and smiling alone earned him that. Let alone years of taunting ****ty fighters.

[Davros?]

Smiling in a sick sadistic way as he pounds a former boxing great who is a shell of a his former self. I could maybe understand if Roy was a mean guy, but being that hes not...I don't see why someone with class would do that.

This is different than the clowing Roy does, first of all Roy does it in a light hearted way. Even against Tito, you could tell it was just for show and they were smiling about it. Secondly he hasn't done it against a fighter on the way down, while he was still elite...

To me it was classless. **** even Lampley said, alright Joe you've proved your point.

I felt Joe went over the top, against a guy that was once a great fighter, Ok Jones used to showboat but i began to find it unwatchable by the end of the fight. Did u see Holmes showboat when in against Ali?

1. Roy Jones is a jackass and he has been fleecing American fights fans for years.

2. If you paid $50 to watch this you should have done it with the clear understanding that you were not paying for a boxing match so much as to "see RJJ get his ass kicked all over the ring"

3. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if Calzaghe gouged the cut with his thumb or maybe nailed Jones with a vicious nut shot halfway through the 12th round.

Thats nice of you, did Joe fleece his fans with the Manfredo fight?

[MaYaN_SuN]

lol I watched the replay of Roy Jones vs Trinidad they aired before goin to sleep, and Roy was was doin the same **** to a lesser skilled AND smaller fighter. And I DONT EVEN LIKE TRINIDAD. lol AT ALL.

But Roy was stylin on Felix like it was 1980 and hot pink sun glasses needed to be on his face.

Roy was just makin Trinidad look ****** for no reason lmao....Now if Calzaghe was doin the same ****, lol you gonna hate it if you're a Roy fan.

[Drunk Punch]

I'm a RJJ fan but c'mon, Roy would have done the same to Joe. It was entertaining.

[Silencers]

Calzaghe does not deserve some of the criticism he's receiving for what he did in the ring.

[pbftxrs316]

i didn't find it tasteless at all. what's wrong with you people who did? it's boxing, it's a showsman sport also. joe c. had every right to act the way he did. it showed his confidence and he deserved to have as much fun in there as he did. he gave jones his props and a lot of respect during the post fight interview. calzaghe didn't make me a fan of his with his victory over roy, but he put on a great showing even though his style is so goofy looking to me.

[Kobe Bryant]

For the first few rounds it was cool. But after a while it got tiresome. That's Joe. He can retire now and pretend that he beat the best.

[Guest]

not right but roy has done his own antics in the ring so......

who cares?

roy lost , joe won.

doesn't matter.

everyone knows who the greater fighter between the two is , who the better skilled fighter is , which fighter has the better resume......

and it wasn't the guy who won tonight.

You are right. It's Antonio Tarver.

Tarver>both
