    What u need my friend is a betfair account, i got 5/1 on Bhop and topped up half way through the fight taking 1.50 in the running after 4rds. Can u believe he was still 1.20 with 2rds to go

    More directed at the far-out Joe huggers

    It'd be a bad loss for Calzaghe if it were to happen, simply because Jones is a shadow of the fighter he was before.

    Earth to Teke , These days Roy Jones Junior ain't a Bernard Hopkins and Joe Calzaghe ain't a Kelly Pavlik ....

    Hopkins has good defence, the way he was slipping punches and countering with good combinations was great today.

    I wouldn't say Joe is a shadow of the fighter he was, he is on the decline a bit, but he hasn't faded nowhere near as much as Jones has.

    Though if you ask deram, he'll tell you that the Calzaghe that fought Kessler is 160% of any Calzaghe we've ever seen.



    Damn, I really miss this guy.

    Its a great matchup.

    Mosley surprised me with his KO win over Mayorga, Hopkins surprised me today and Roys 5 punch KO over Joe in the 8th round will cement a good year for me :yep

    I have to agree, I do think Calzaghe will win but if they were both in their primes Roy would take the W.

    hopkins won the calzaghe fight in my eyes, but it was super close, I had no problem with the result going to Joe because I have watch alot of boxing in the last 20 years and fights like that can go either way
