    I'm a big RJJ fan. I thought Calzaghe's showboating was entertaining...BOXING IS ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT. People seem to forget that. Joe wanted to put on a show, copy some of RJJ's antics, and make it seem like he had 100% control of the fight. Perfectly okay what he did (i thought) and am suprised at the uproar it initially caused on these boards.

    If Roy was in his prime it's not problem, imo, but doing it now is a bit like dancing in front of a cripple.

    To be honest I was never a fan of Jones showboating anyway, and though he was a bit of a

    Nah, Calzaghe's showboating has so little character it doesn't even register.

    I have voted what goes around comes around but he went OTT with it and made himself look a twat.
    I wasn't happy with it I felt sorry for roy a bit.

    The reason I hate him is the showboating. It's one thing to do it against prime fighters but against these old guys it's annoying as all hell.

    Showboating rarely looks good. Anyway, Roy didn't give a **** about who he made a fool out of in the past. I like the guy but as badly as it was executed, he got what he deserved.

    Current topic. The opposite of dick sucking is not hating. Now mind your ****ing business. I could give two shits what you've ever said about anything. That's a bad equation.

    You don't need an excuse to hate mate. None of the JC haters have even bothered explaining themselves in the past.
    FFS he's near 37 and past it himself!

    I didn't like it one bit. He put himself at unnecessary risk, and as I always think concerning showboating - it is just stupid and serves no purpose.

    Im a huge rjj fan. I didnt have a problem with him showboating nor do I have a problem with joe doing it. I thought it was very entertaining and funny. RJJ should have done something about it.
