Calzaghe Fans Who Think He "Ruined" Jones

[General Zod]

I am just saying.. you cant use that as a valid reason.. because a fighter says hes ready to go? What fighter hasnt?

Good point

[THE REED]

You dont know if that was really the case. Its been a while since Ive seen some his pre Ruiz fights but im sure come fight night he was always 185+lbs.

Exactly... just like you dont know he stripped exactly 14 pounds of muscle and then 10 pounds of water... you wrote it out like you were with him on a daily basis.

What we do know is this dude at 199lbs didnt have an ounce of fat on him.. and at 35 years old.. he had to make 175lbs... a fighter whose legs are his most important asset... A dehydrated Roy Jones is a bigger deal than other fighters because he relied so much on his reflexes and his legs, for movement and defense, moreso than the typical fighter..

That is exactly what happened to Jones Jr. It is also the reason I predicted how the Tarver fight would play out. It is of course why I also predicted Chris Byrd's knockout loss to Shaun George when Byrd thought he could drop to light heavyweight. You would think history would be a good lesson for these guys, but no they have to learn the hard way.
