    Exactly, this should end discussions on the subject. It's sport and entertainment and Roy, who was fed with his own medicine, still showboated vs. shot Lacy, so where are the pissed off fans now?

    When Jim Lampley, already in tears in the last round, said Joe should stop showboating and fight instead, did he really want to see Joe unleash hell and KTFO Jones? :think He just didn't go for the knockout due to respect. Great sportsmanship.

    You want to compare Jones' showboating with the pathetic dancing Calzaghe displayed?

    Are you saying that simulating gay ass sex isn't as cool as KOing someone with both hands behind your back? :admin

    Jones looked good when he showboated, plus he is one of the best fighters off all time, Joe is good but he is no where near as good as Roy was.

    I didn't like that little shimmy because he looked so stupid doing it. I kind of liked it though when he stuck his head right at close range of Roy and Roy didn't hit him.

    Jones taunted many guys, so he had it coming.

    I dont like showboating at all! But agree with threadstarter, i cant see what so bad about JC doing it, when others do it (its not worth whining about).. if he tried to entertain people, fair enough! BUT he have no reason to do it imo, its not him really

    Those were his last two fights maybe he wanted to make an statement against the two american legends, and he did it.

    Some fighters can pull off show boating like RJJ and Hamed some can't it just doesn't look right and instead of looking good they just look awkward and make a fool of themselves. I am a huge Hopkins fan but whenever he show boats I cringe same with Calzaghe he just looks like a twat when he tries to show boat.

    Well for me the end of round 3 was priceless if you hate Calzaghe then you didn't like it, but who cares IN YOUR FACE hater.

    When Jones did it, it was hilarious, entertaining, it was his MO, he had the charisma for it.

    When Calzaghe did it, he just looked like a dick.

    There's no double standard. Some people can do things that others can't.
