Did your respect for Jones go up or down?

it hasnt changed because he fought a good figt but in the end lost as i thought he would

 

Exactly :good

 

has it changed what you think of calzaghe at all ?

 

Jones is a trooper Calzaghe is better than he is given credit for

 

Jones is NOW DONE!!! BUT still a fan and lot's of Respect for him.

 

Definitely up.

 

it was pretty horrible to watch. joe acted like a ***** with all his showboating, roy was certainly talking a lot, i suppose there was some karma going on in there but still it wasn't nice to watch. proud of roy though the way he kept at it.

there is something rather sadistic about calzaghe. i'll probably look at the lacy fight in a different light now.

 

Same respect as he once was, always a legend
YOU MUST'VE FORGOT!

 

For a guy who is 3-4 over the last 4 years, getting knocked cold twice and with wins over mediocre competition I hear he did pretty well.

Especially when you realize that he was so bored with the sport that he actually thought he could become a point guard five years ago.

 

Down, definitely down. He once again entered the ring with absolutely no intention of winning. The man was so scared to take a risk that Joe would literally put his face directly in front of Roy, unguarded, literally inches away from Roy's gloves (repeatedly) and basically dare Roy to hit it and Roy would not even attempt due to his lack of heart and a will to win (someone please explain to me how that is Roy exhibiting a will to win). Once that goes you gotta get outta the game and it was evident that that went several fights ago with Roy. I don't mind boxers losing, I just mind when they lose while never making any attempt to win. That there is larceny and you just stuck up all of your fans. There's no shame in getting carried out on one's back.

But I knew this going into the fight so it came as no surprise. Roy just fulfilled prophecy, that's all, and collected a handsome paycheck in the process while swindling his entire fan base.

 

I think Calzaghe pulled off the bigger swindle selling this as a meaningful fight.

 

its the same as it was.
