Roy Jones Jr: "I Will Beat Joe Calzaghe in New York"

[mellow_mood]

Im with Roy in this one!!!!!!

[seebert]

Roy is...

Ok, washed up/not washed up discussion aside, has anyone noticed that Roy is an extremely nice and likable guy now? Maybe since his last two fights? Is this true or did I unjustifiably write him off as a delusional loudmouth years ago?

Like I root for Calzaghe and Mayweather to lose, I used to root for Roy to get clobbered, but now I am kind of rooting for him.

Calzaghe has a better KO ratio.

Acually they both have about the same ratio. About 73-74%. The difference is, that Jones has fought better competition. Joe has never Ko'd top competition. Don't say Byron Mitchell. He was a nobody and nobody cared if he lost or not. If he could not KO Lacy while throwing 1000 plus punches and almost landing half of them, he has no real KO power. Calzaghe only has (2) real Ko's on his record. Those fighters were : Frank Minton who was 26-21 at the time and had been stopped 16 times before that and Tyler Hughes who was 12-0 at the time but later was KO'd 20 more times.(I researched) LOL. Gimme a break. Calzaghe is not a KO puncher. I hope that is enough to convince you because Rjj will show that as well. He will know he has nothing to fear in way of power punching and will eventually hurt Calzaghe because of it.

I think hes been humbled honestly.... i like it too...

although, mayweather was always the kind of ******* arrogant

roy was always funny arrogant


but yeah hes a lot more humble now

Someone said before that Jones couldn't KO Tito, but I think that may have been because he tore his bicep muscle in his...left arm? I know he tore it in one of his arms.

his left bicep... and u could actually see the line in his bicep... thats one injury u could literally see

35 seconds

It wouldn't effect his straight right which is his most effective punch.

Very good point you make. In his recent fights Roy has been starting very slowly. If he does this against Joe he could be out of the fight on the cards before he gets into it.

I got a feelin that the fight will not go to the cards.

Roy Jones Jr. is one of the greatest boxers in the entire history of the sport and has a huge number of fans here in England, and also in the rest of the United Kingdom.

Regarding whether or not he is "past it" or whatever, of course he is not quite in his prime any more because, like the unbeaten British World Champion Joe Calzaghe he is in his late thirties.

However, if I was a betting man I am afraid I would simply have to back Roy Jones Jr. to win this fight. He is a class above Joe.
