    Joe looks like a fish riding a bike while Roy is a master, no doubt.

    The thing is, when they were both doing it, in the early rounds, everyone was OK and it looked like we were going to have a spectacle. As the rounds went on and it was obvious what the outcome was going to be, people whinged about Joe's apparent 'lack of sensitivity'.

    You really couldn't make it up.:patsch

    look joe c looked like a complete twat when he did it, but this is boxing

    being insensitive just doesnt cut it, when your in the ring with anothere guy, trying to beat the crap out of each other, who gives a ****

    but it pissed me off what a twat he look like

    Disrespectful behaviour to a past it legend. Though it doesnt suprise me that Calslapperzghe has the audacity to humiluate a fighter that is far greater than himself.

    It was up to Roy to stop him from doing it then wasn't it?

    :lol:

    what a bunch of homos.

    joe acted like a ***** doing it but don't give us that 'oh you shouldn't disrespect a great champion like that!' roy never thought twice about showboating against guys heavily overmatched against him.

    Hello noob here,

    But i think of it like this
    clowning a roy that was on top of his game is fair.
    clowning roy in a rematch in which he clowned you or he embarrased you...fair
    clowning an over the hill fighter is like beating an old next door neighbor and bragging about it....
    calzag came to fight these old guys on his way out of the sport and thats sick.....where was he during the glory years of bhop and roy...clown them then and its fine...don't wait until a lay off and the guy beats bum to get back into the game....
    so if i beat buster douglas right now I can clown him

    Calzaghe's showboating was perfectly fine, if Roy had been winning the fight he would have put on a show like that too no doubt and he was even showboating in the first. With regards to disrespecting a legend, is this not what RJJ did to Tito in the last fight?? Calzaghe's antics we're entertaining, especially when he looked through Jone's guard.

    That's the way he always does it, is this the first fight of Calzaghe most of you have seen?

    Definitely what goes around comes around. I'd have a problem if he had done it to this extend against a guy like Kessler, that would be classless. But we're talking about RJJ here, his legacy is heavily based on showboating, highlight clips of Jones are 50% showboating.

    Calzaghe was hilarious, and really summed up how much he could control Jones, take all he had, and laugh, the one where he danced and swivelled his hips as Jones missed his 4 hit combo made me roar with laughter, and the one where he turned away got punched flush by jones with 3 punches and it just made him dance and laugh as he got hit, pure class, a lesser man would have been KO'ed.

    Oh this is too funny:rofl

    Insensitive??? Who are the 43 clowns who voted insensitive???:rofl:rofl:rofl

    Awwww poor RJJ, was he being picked on?

    This is ****ing boxing, not womens hour.

    Grow a pair of bollocks and wake up to the fact that this was a)pure entertainment and b)something RJJ has done his whole ****ing career. Hell, he even did it with JC til he started getting owned bad.

    There are some first rate ****ing hypocrites on here.

    Insensitive:rofl:rofl:rofl
