    Yeah, but he sure likes the money that comes with facing an american fighter though.

    Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that line in bollocks from the Welsh coward.

    How the **** can he criticise Pavlik for taking on and beating the unified champ, and then giving him a remath to close the show? When did Calslappy ever take on a unified champ? NEVER.

    Joe made the fight with BHop BEFORE negotiations for the Pavlik/Taylor rematch started!

    When in a 15+ year career did he ever take on a prime P4P top ten guy; never.

    Doesn't matter. Everyone who knows the sport knows that the Welsh coward would have gotten a good hiding if the fight had taken place when it should have. Even now Jones may well KO Calslappy easily despite being a shell of what he was, and that's the only thing that makes this fight interesting.

    I agree, but I also agree with Scar who has stated many times that if Roy was 10% of what he used to be, this fight would not be happening.

    Are you talking about Calslappy or Jones? If you mean Jones then he beat the universally recognised P4P number 1 in Toney back in 1994. Calslappy has never come close to that achievement.

    Considering the stupid crap coming out of Joe's mouth lately, we can hope he doesn't count so well either and has made a serious miscalculation on the % of RJJ left. :D

    I've started to lose respect for Joe Cool lately. I remember like a year back or so he said fighting Jones would be pointless because he was washed up.

    A year ago my ass. He was still saying that just prior to the Hopkins fight! In the same interview he said he wanted the winner of Pavlik/taylor II; and then said "Probably kelly Pavlik."

    If Calzage gets past Jones and Pavlik gets past Hopkins they will fight, the $$$$are too big....but they both have to get past there opponents and that is not a sure thing
