Roy Jones: "Calzaghe Not Great, Only a Good Euro Fighter"

[boxingfan4life]

facts - Calzaghe Is Only A Good Euro Fighter. B-hop Took Him To School

How can you take somebody to school when you lost and got hit most in your career. that doesnt make any sense to me.

The trash-talking has begun for the November 8 clash between Roy Jones Jr. and Joe Calzaghe, taking place at New York's Madison Square Garden. Jones says that Calzaghe will never be recognized as a truly great champion. [details]

LOL. a couple weeks ago he was sayin calzaghe is one of the best fighters ever. jones talk too much bs nowadays.

[Kris Silver]

How is Joe just a good Euro champion when he's beaten world fighters in and around the top for over 10 years capturing all the world belts?

Just doesn't make sense. Roy had a good few fights against lower quality guys so he can talk. I think he just lives of the Jones name and hype of it. At only a couple years older he had 4 losses to Joes 0. I also find it odd Roy can't see how Joe can beat him. He was saying before how Joes the quickest and busiest fighter he's ever faced. Didn't he even say Joes a great champion, one of the best in some interviews, pretty sure he did several times. Slight contradictions Roy. By that standard and going by the more valid fact you've only fought there, your just an American ex-champion then Roy. Ouch.

I like the guy and welcome some trash talking as it'll hype them and the public more. But surely he can do better than this. He isn't the talker some believe him to be, even at the press conferences he talks about as much sense and fluently as Calzaghe snr. Need interpretors for this ****.

cause he took him to school and fought his fight, landed all the clean punches and calzaghe could no nothing against him but miss. as for getting hit the most in his career LOL! air punches from a windmill don't count as getting hit in my mind. nice "win" calzaghe

[eason]

go back and look at the punch stats my friend. cal landed 232 total punches to hopkins 127. 45 jabs to 11 and 187 to 116 power shots. what other fighter has done that to hopkins. numbers dont lie. and in case your confused the person that usually takes someone to school in boxing is usally the winner.

[Fulcrum29]

yea he's not great only a good Euro then after Roy beats him suddenly Roy will claim he's the greatest ever. **** these damn hypocrites

I know you've been lied to before right? we all have......On the night of April 19, 2008 Compubox lied to you! If Joe landed over 200 punches on B-Hop, then Joe has cotton in his fist and we all know thats not true! Joe's punches do cause damage just look at his KO .pct(not bad) If Compubox was any where accurate with their count then B-Hop was supposed to be busted or lumped up......he wasn't either!!! Now explain that.....because Winky didn't land 200 shots but B-Hop's face looked like he was in a fight when it was all said and done! And dont give me no junk like Hopkins never shows damage.....thats because he doesn't get hit!

[Randall_Hopkirk]

Wasn't he calling Joe a great a few weeks back? Is old age rotting his memory?

the reason why hopkins face was not busted up is because majority of his punches had little impact plus not all of them were flush. hopkins himself said that joes punches aint have nothin on them. they were all slap punches. plus hopkins has never looked lumped up in any of his fights so whats makes calzaghe special. yeah may have some scratches and stuff but he never looked "beat up." and with the compubox thing if that wasnt accurate how come hopkins never protested it. face it your boy bhop got hit more than 200 times. they may have been majority slap punches but he was gettin hit.
