Roy Jones Jr. Deserves Credit

[hardmanbrit]

Calzaghe toyed with Roy. It was funny. LOL

No, it wasn't.

To watch two former great boxers in their late thirties fight each other was not great.

Not after all they both have achieved.

Also, I know Jones got respect from Joe outside the ring, but I never like to see showboating when an emphatic victory is being attained.

so if calzaghe is not great now when the hell was he ever great?

He is one of the greatest fighters of all time.

An exemplary boxer who has hardly any equals. For him to have world titles in four different weight divisions is incredible.

It is just a shame that him and Joe Calzaghe did not meet years ago when they were not both in their late thirties.

But well done Joe.

i agree.

Not to take anything away from calzaghe's win but too many people act as if he beat a prime roy jones jr and some others act as if roy isnt an all time great.

If roy isnt an all time great fighter then i dont know who is.

he's one of the VERY BEST (if not arguably THEE best) of his generation.

Gotdamn Roy punched like a mule kick. I don't see why folks knock his punch output for his bouts when he could easily put you on your ass in one blow. No 100 punches a round necessary.

Re-read the post.

I said it was not great to watch; I did not make comment on Calzaghe's greatness.

Calzaghe is 37 and slightly past his best.

He would never destroy a prime, World Champion Jeff Lacy in his current state.

Thanks mate. Very good post.

Where has all this nonsensical USA/UK hatred come from? I have American relatives and I sometimes jokingly take the piss out of them for being Yanks, but I love America and its people.

Americans are the most friendly and most magnanimous people on Earth so why are my fellow countrymen having a go at you? I feel ashamed and I can only apologise.

Anyway, we have fought alongside each other in countless wars for f***'s sake!

I think you will find that the most friendly and most magnanimous people on Earth are Scottish. Just my opinion
