Does RJJ see a weakness in Calzaghe he thinks he can exploit?

Took the words outta my mouth.I'm not as smart as RJJ when it comes to seeing weaknesses in opponents, but I'm pretty sure he has a game plan, and for me, I think it might work.I just wish this was 5-6 years ago, there would be no doubt about the results back then; Jones TKO 4.Now.... UD, for either of them - I still can't call itHope RJJ gets it though

 

put your missing key parts Hopkins aint RJ.
Your not factoring in speed and more power
Factoring in those things equals calzaghe getting hit more and feeling more pain. If hopkins had RJ's speed and power he probably wins that fight. He lost by Split decision

 

I'm sure by now Roy can write a book on how to beat Calzaghe......Joe is a checkhook away from losing his 0

 

And you are not factoring in Hopkins far superior defence and movement, which means a lot of Calzaghe's offence was neutralized which meant he had to rethink. Roy Jones has changed his style in his old age, his defence now consists of standing there with ear muffs, trying his best impression of Winky-Wright. Hopkins was constantly on the move, taking away Calzaghe's jab

And RJJ doesn't have great speed or power, they are both diminished. If he had great speed and power he'd have finished Trinidad and Hanshaw, there is no getting away from that. He has good handspeed in short bursts, and reasonable power, but nothing outstanding.

 

Jones is gonna kick Calzaghe's ass. Calzaghe didn't adjust to anything against hopkins, it was Hopkins age and lack of stamina that allowed hin to win. Jones is still to fast, too powerful and way to intelligent for Calzaghe and this will be evident on fight night.

 

His wallet

 

that ear muff style will work against calzaghe b/c 1 calzaghe doesnt have the power to break through it, so RJ will b fine.
Calzaghe will only have RJ's body to hit and thats like waisting time b/c RJ takes body punches very well. So Calzaghe is gonna have to find a different way of being effective. Throwing all those punches gives RJ a lot of opportunities to land clean counters. This fight is gonna b a chess match for both fighters but I think the Calzaghe is trying to play chess with Bobby Fischer this time

 

you're right.

 

Uh, sure. You might want to watch the fight again. Calzaghe adjusted to the point of making Hopkins look bewildered. Hopkins got tired because he was expending so much energy trying to get back into his gameplan, which Calzaghe did not allow him to do.

 

Guess what, if Calzaghe is standing there firing 60 shots at Jones for 2 mins they score him the round, whether they hit or not. Which is exactly my point, Jones has to knock him out. Jones ain't hard to hit anyway, Trinidad hit him plenty when he came out of his shell.

 

ima have to watch that fight over, b/c off memory I cant remember him doing that. I will watch it over, if he did then he did, but right now I dont remember that. I remember BHop landing the harder effective punches, and Calzaghe basically outworking him to the decision.

 

hit him plenty? I dont remember that, I remember the 1st 3 or 4 rounds RJ covered up and landed the more effective punches, and TITO was hitting gloves, and after 4 rounds of effective body work RJ started mixing up his attack, I dont remember Tito landed a lot of punches.

 

I think he hopes to exploit Calzaghes openess to right hands. Jones still has speed and some power, so could be a big problem for Joe.

 

Hopkins did land the harder punches, especially early, but Calzaghe start to move in and out and laterally and frustrated Hopkins, allowing Calzaghe to pick up a lot of rounds. Calzaghe also caught Hopkins with some nice looping left hands to the head that definitely got Hopkins' attention later in the fight. I still think that Hopkins could give any top LHW a difficult time. It was a very close fight and Hopkins is the master at making other fighters look out of their game, even at 43.

 

Tito won the 1st 3 or 4 rounds on the scorers cards but everything changed after a while, body shots started to hurt, slowed tito down and eventually RJ won. FLoyd was losing rounds to hatton at 1st but still won, sometimes you have to do certain things to set u up l8ter in the fight, RJ knows wat he is doing trust man. Not saying Calzaghe cant win, But im just saying RJ has more of a chance than you give him
