Does Calzaghe deliver punches correctly and look cool when he showboats?

    i must admit, i quite enjoyed the showboating. but jesus christ he took it over the top many a time with his hands low i had visions of a jones left hook leaving joe on the canvas, but hey it worked, and lets be honest jones is 39, hes not much older then calzaghe is he, so to say the fight shouldnt ever happen is a bit stupid IMO

    I thought it was brilliant.

    Nothing better than clowning on a clown.

    Particularly liked him sticking his head in between Jones's guard to tempt him into hitting him, Jones just couldn't catch him.

    It looked a bit gay at times. Maybe JC has homosexual tendancies as he did do that dodgy hip swing behind Bhops like a batty man getting ready to penetrate.

    It's about humiliating your opponent.

    Hopkins is a wannabe gangster who hates white people, so for him to be bent over and shafted by Calzaghe is humiliating for him.

    Jones likes to showboat, in particular that showboat he did to Toney which resulted in the knockdown...so Calzaghe imitated him and embarrassed him.

    RJJ was nguilty of doing the same last time out against tito, who was clearly shot and out of his depth.
    That said the dry humping is shameful

    Yes but RJJ and Tito were both shot so it hardly matters. It is like a fresh soccer superstar doing an overhead kick when playing against bobby charlton.

    The dry humping is only a problem if you're insecure about your sexuality.

    ...or like Ali doing it to Archie Moore perhaps. ;)



    By the way, why is humiliating a legend any worse than showing up an honest pro with 15 losses on his record, who works 12-hour shifts down the factory most days, has three kids and is struggling to pay the rent? :huh

    Calzaghe was pissing about in front of a guy who he knows he could'nt **** about with in his prime.

    Jones had no offence though so Calzaghe was allowed to **** about.

    Could you imagine Calzaghe walking up to a prime Roy Jones with his hands down, sticking his chin up through his guard and getting away with it?

    Bit like Danny Williams vs Tyson. The win means nothing. He beat the shell of a former GREAT fighter.
