    This is a stylistic fight where Roy is a huge chance of upsetting JC. I don't think JC can take Roy out but we will soon see. If Roy couldn't get Tito out of the way then he has no chance on a KO win. But a points victory is a huge possability.

    I think this is almost as big as big fights go.

    I will get the fight.....very interesting to see if Joe will throw 1000 slaps and win on points or if Roy will outwork him on style and movement and score enough clean shots to win.

    It would be great to see Joe go out with all wins however it would also be great for Roy to hit the main page again for the right reasons.

    I will tip Joe on points but my tips are so bad maybe I should go for Roy KO :huh

    I can't see this fight lasting more then 8 rounds. Calzaghe will dominate this fight from the outset. And i think it might just sink in how good he actually is. Its not often a fighter can throw so many punches.

    For Roy Jones Junior, apart from a few flashes of brilliance it should spell disaster.

    He will lose BTT but I cant help but think it will go the rounds.

    Roy will just lay on the ropes and fight 11 secs a round. And Joe will want to play it a bit safe being his last fight.

    I dont think it will be a spectacle...neither are in their prime.

    Love to see Roy win for some reason.

    Its hard for Joe because people are going to say Roy is shot if Joe wins.....Joe may need another big fight with a current top champ like Dawson or Tarver to get the full wrap he should have now.
