I'm a fool for thinking Roy could still beat an elite fighter.

I picked Roy to win, and I was wrong.

with that being said, calzaghe fans should not be spin doctors and try to act like they pulled off a major upset last night.

Calzaghe was the betting favorite.-Fact
Most writers/analysts picked joe- Fact
Roy was thought to be done amongst most fans and boxing people-Fact

ya joe cal was favoured big time by oddsmakers.
however, there were many fans and fighters (including jeff lacy,hopkins, lennox, list goes on) who thought jones was still a good enough fighter to beat joe calzaghe.
however even though jones tried to bring what he said he was gonna, joe didnt let him do that.
i think were in agreement here, finally somebody steps up.
not saying joe beat a prime SRR but hes at least #2 maybe 1 p4p right now, we'll see on december 6th lol

i thought roy would win ..calz surprised me alot ..lmao if he was black hed get a bit more respect ...cause dawson has done **** ..and gets all the respect from keller man ..even though its not calz weight class

I Roy basically got exposed as a fighter who is done as an elite fighter. He can't compete an elite level.

Can't hate on Joe for winnin the fight. I was hopin for and expectin an RJ win but I got no problem admittin I was wrong. No controversy on the UD cuz it was decisive as hell. Nothin dirty in the fight to ***** about. Joe won fair and square.

- admit that you picked both jopkins and jones to win but calzaghe beat both, worse than anybody else has done for twelve rounds.
- admit that there is currently NOBODY who can beat calzaghe
- admit that if he was african american, he would be considered an all time great.

rjj is shot.

calzaghe inconclusively decisioned bhop.

there's still dawson and glen johnson out there. not saying joe wouldn't win these fights, but saying it is one thing, doing it is another.
