    Why are you personally giving Roy Jones a chance to beat Calzaghe, or why do you believe others are doing this? What are the specific reasons.

    around 10-15% chance max. i guess he is just the sentimental favorite to win. no way he beats joe in his present form.

    Because Hopkins knocked Calzaghe down on his ass in the first round.

    I think people still believe that Roy possesses the same ability that he used to have but, sadly they are going to find out that he doesn't when he gets beat.

    It should have been 'Flawed And/Or Limited.' That was my pick. Calzaghe is flawed, though I don't specifically feel that he's 'Limited' persay. In fact I think he's the very opposite of limited. He's got more tricks than most in a non-conventional sense.

    jones has a good chance i think, i definitely think jones will be able to put hands on calzaghe. Judging from his last two performances i can easily see how he can be a threat to calzaghe. If jones has a good ouput, and puts in good work on or stays off stays off the ropes he might really shock a lot of you.

    As a Calzaghe fan when this fight was announced I thought it was a foregone conclusion, that it was a silly fight to take and that he should ash up Pavlik and then retire and forget all about shot Roy Jones.

    The close the fight comes though the more I think he has a chance (probably just the hype), he does have a counter punching style which will give JC problem, Calzaghe has looked a lot slower in recent fights and is reaching the end himself, Roy just might catch him at the right time.

    However even with these concern I reckon Calzaghe wins a comfortable decision.
