Calzaghe made himself look like a fool last night.

I would consider myself a Calzaghe fan but his actions in the ring last night were petulant to say the least. Keeping his hands down, backing up from Roy, walking away from him and taunting him when he knew Roy's stamina was done. If Joe was as good as his antics would lead you to believe he should have knocked out or stopped Jones.

Ok, I could understand Joe acting like this with a prime Roy or if Roy was not exhausted, but to me this reaked of over zealousness, arrogance and disrespect.

Roy was the more dignified of the two fighters. Fair enough he didn't have the cardio requirements, but he fought a great fight. Even with his eye badly cut he soldiered on like the true warrior he is.

Roy has been doing it for years. Zaggy produced the goods, and did it with style. I loved his behaviour personally.

But the difference is Roy did it against fighters who stood with a chance of beating him.

Joe did it against a gassed out bloodied up RJJ.

Fighters as good as Joe should be gracious in their victories.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. And lets be honest here, Roy did it against people who NEVER had a chance at beating him.

Would Joe do it if he was fighting the Roy who was prime and P4P king of the nineties?

Joe dominated, there was no need to take the piss. Roy has been nothing but respectful to Joe during the lead up to this fight and the aftermath of the fight.

"nighties" lol for a moment I had an image of RJJ wearing ladies pyjamas a la Oscar!

Jones started a bit in the first couple of rounds. Like standing in the middle of the ring with his chest out etc after the 1st. The only reason it didn't get worse i because Roy was taking a beating so why would he start acting ****y...

He was a ****y, arrogant prick!! I cant stand him even more after last night. I hope he doesn't retire and Dawson knocks him the fuck out.

I'd absolutely love for him to have his hands down smiling in Dawsons face and then get cleaned out. Nothing would make me happier.

Thats never gonna happen.

In the words of Steve Bunce, "Dawson can't draw flies"

I don't get that, Jones would have done the same thing, he's been doing the same thing for years, 1 fight like that from Calzaghe and he gets criticism.

Calzaghe made himself look like a fool last night.
