        1) "American" is not a race.
        2) If people can't deal with the truth, too bad. The United States is the Mecca of boxing right now, and has been for a while. If you deny this, you're in denial, not anyone else.

        You can take it ass arrogant if you wish. It's just the truth.

          Since when did American become a race? Man I gotta walk outside and check everyone else out now that we have all become one race we should never have problems here in the states again.

              RJJ al the way i just think Calzaghe is too over confident after his fight with Lacy.

                  Roy seriously needs to retire. Joe's style is all wrong for the aged Roy Jones, we already saw what happened to him against the Road Warrior. On the flip side, this is perfect for Joe-big payday, big name on his list of W's...If I were him I would try to make it close so Roy would want a rematch and get paid again. What an ironic end to Jones career, he wasted his best years and is only willing to fight the best fights when he's washed up. Go figure.

                    crazy, but JC is quite vulnerable his left hand appears to be made out of playdough hand/wrist its all ****ed otherwise Lacy would have been out of there on several occassions, so JC is kind of on the verge himself obviously his skills arent diminishing but his hand is letting him down.

                      Ok, here is what I'm thinking off the top of my head, like I said, early prediction.

                      1. Joe is SMW and the fight will most likely be his first fight at 175. Roy is old hat at 175.

                      2. Lacy truly believed he was the better fighter, and went in looking for a KO. Roy is not going to look for a KO, is not going to stay in range like Lacy did. Roy will be in and out of range and potshot.

                      3. Roy will have infinite counter-punching opportunities, because of how active Joe is. Tarver was built to give Roy problems and always would have- defensive-minded, good jab, doesn't open up much, etc. Joe is the opposite of all of that. Joe throws 90% power punches and is open to being countered very often.

                      ..... I think it will be close, either way. No stoppage. But I give the advantage to Roy on paper, so far. Roy's problem is mental anyway. When he opened up in Tarver 3, then he was really in another class above Tarver, it's just that he is a little shell-shocked and doesn't like to tear-it-up like he used to. I actually don't think he's slowed down as much physically as he has mentally. This is just the kind of fight that might pysche Roy right back to an old-school performance.

                      I like Roy, so maybe a bit of wishful thinking? hehe.

                      If this happens, I may actually fly over and see this. What an event it would be...
