Attn: Idiots who just started watching Boxing- regarding Jones

[bsrizpac]

Calzaghe is a bit of a special fighter though, and I think that by trying to pigeonhole him as a "pressure fighter" you're doing him something of a disservice. What happened on Saturday night was pretty simple: A past-prime Joe Calzaghe beat a further past-prime Roy Jones Jr in a big money fight featuring a big name. But that's no reason to then assault the career of a talented fighter in a fit of pique.

The thing about Joe is that he had a bit of everything in him especially in his prime. He could apply pressure with a volume of punches, he was a very accomplished boxer, he was a murderous puncher (which may be hard to stomach now but he was known for his power back in the day). He's a fast counterpuncher, an awkward and tricky southpaw and had an iron chin. He had great footwork and could fight going forwards, backwards and sideway and he had superb reflexes.

More than all of that he was always a superb boxing tactician. He fought in a way which nullified his opponent, no matter what their style. And he was always a ferocious competitor and a born winner.

I think you should take a look at yourself before you label other posters "trolls". Especially considering that this topic title implies that those who disagree with you are "idiots" who "just started watching boxing".

Someone is taking things very personally.

Jones always has been vastly overrated as a boxer. He is actually not a very good technical fighter and without his inhumanly quick reflexes he is trash in every aspect.

Take aways his ****** fast reflexes in his prime and give him normal reflexes and you would probably have never heard of him, because he would of been a bum.

Hes not that smart of a fighter and even lacks some basic boxing skills that even most amateurs can master.

Good analysis. I'm glad a guy with a stellar amateur record such as yourself can see this.

You're spot on with your stellar amateur record, i am sure you'd know firsthand.

Jones is an overrated hypejob.

Bsrizpac has to p4p one of the angriest and most bitter posters on boxingscene. I think you're the one thats delusional if you can't even admit the fact that Calzaghe is a great fighter. I have no problem with people saying Calzaghe is a slapper or that they don't like them stylistically, but there are just too many idiots that can't admit that he's an effective boxer.

Umm, I've "admitted" he's a great fighter many many times. I fail to see your point.
