    are all aspects of sportsmanship logical? i just think you tone it down if your opponent is bleeding

    Calzaghe just looks foolish showboating like you said.

    But all is fair.
    yeah it looked dumb at times and wasn't something u could get behind

      Calzaghe was the first to draw blood. Roy was sticking his tongue out and trash talking. Suppose thats cool though?

      Calzaghe showed great sportsmanship throughout the fight. He couldve embarassed and stopped Jones late on but he basically carried him across the finish line.

          lol I would expect you to compare that minor sc**** to a gushing gash just to make point. and there was no potential stoppage

            Oh I see, so Calzaghe should hit Jones lighter so not to cause a cut then he can showboat.

            Great logic.

              Calzaghe was dominating him and wanted to go out big so i don't see anything wrong with the taunting, especially since RJJ did that his whole career to lesser opponents. That cut was nasty it could easilly have been a stoppage i'm surprised they let it go on til the end, just gushing out blood everytime they tried to stop it. He couldn't see very well i think RJJ just wanted to go the 12 rounds.

                I thought Joe went OTT with the showboating and the logic were Roy did it all the time makes it alright does it? It doesn't and you know it! Two wrongs don't make a right. That **** isn't conducive to who Joe Calzaghe is and the style for which he fights.

                If my best mate introduced me to his girlfriend and then i proceeded to embarrass my mate in front of his girlfriend, that's the same comparison to me.

                    I think he may have gone a little over the top with the showboating as when he kept on doing it I shouted at the screen 'stop doing it or he'll clock you'.

                    I did think it was funny though and Roy did a bit of it himself so I really can't see why people are complaining.

                      I found it annoying more than anything because Calzaghe is actually not very good at showboating he looked like a **** doing it to be honest and that very arrogant smile he had on his face while doing it, I really wanted jones to put him down when he was doing that. It wasn’t so much the showboating in its self that was annoying its the way he was doing it. I think Calzaghe needs to go to acting school to brush up on it.
