    He's gonna show us if he's recovered after the ridiculous decision about his weight loss from HW to LHW, which he clearly shouldn't have done, or he's gonna show us that Roy is just a shell of his former great self

    In a nutshell, I wanna see theold roy; not an old roy

    I think Calzaghe wont force Jones back to the ropes; Jones will go their voluntarily. If Jones can keep the fight in the middle of the ring, Calzaghe will throw flurries of slaps, thus forcing Jones to throw back. Joe will land 6-7 slaps or so, but Jones will land 3-4 good, powerful placed shots, which will take their toll on Joe throughout the later rounds. On top of that, Jones is far superior at countering; he may even anticipate Joe's attack, and catch him coming in with a straight right or left hook - breaking up Joe's flow, and forcing him to reset himself and start another combo. He then may not be able to fire any decent combo's on Roy, giving the fight to him on effective agressiveness and punching.

    Jones needs to stay off them damn ropes though!
