About RJJ never was a great, Calzaghe is a bum and just the ******s threads in general. Roy Jones is an ATG. Look at his accomplishments, four weight champ, owns six title belts ranging from 160 pounds to Heavyweight. Beat all time greats Hopkins and Toney in an utter domninating performance. If he beats Calzaghe Saturday, he will have to be talked about as one of the greatest of all time. As much as I hate to say it, Calzaghe is great fighter as well. He is already considered the greatest Super middle of all time. After he beat Hopkins and seeing what Hopkins did with Pavlik, you have to admit that Joe is a great fighter. He may not be among the 100 best greats of all time but he has got to be something. If he atained a record of 45-0 (or 46-0 depending saturday). If he accomplished an undefeated record, even if he fought all bums has to be somebody. Something similar to what Larry Holmes said about Rocky Marciano after the first Michael Spinks fight. If Joe beats Roy saturday, he will cement his legacy in the hall of fame amassing a spectacular record of 46-0.
Agreed,the ******s in here are a growing mass plus some ******s fro the lounge have started to polute the general forum.This place is getting worse
People hate people. If we think about it long enough without being biased, we can't deny either of their records. Hopkins, Tarver, Toney and Ruiz? Come on now...
I used dislike Joe before his fights with Kessler and Hopkins, but his performances over them and considering what both have done afterwards, just makes me respect the man.
Well balanced and fair post mate. I agree I think Jones and Calzaghe are great fighters, no fighter has a perfect resume some on here pick holes in some of the finest fighters that have entered the ring and the majority of the time it is just to score points for their own favourites. Jones was exceptional to watch in his prime, quick hands, unbelievable reflexes and amazing natural athleticism and power. What I most respect about Calzaghe is his will to win, heart and ability to adapt during fights. Both have different strengths but both great fighters in my opinion!
Regardless of what happens Saturday night, Jones and Calzaghe will always have my repsect and I'll look upon them highly.
It gets very annoyning after a while when you can't put in a respectable opinion without some idiot saying RJJ has a "Glass Jaw" therefore he's a bum. Also when people try to discredit other greats such as Frazier, Louis and even Ali.
spot on pal, good to hear some sense on these forums for a change, too much bitterness, a great fighter is a great fighter.
I already made a thread like that. Problem is, a lot of people will say you are right...and then go back to another thread saying: Bum, glass jaw c class, cab driver...about very good fighters. What can we do...
99% of the people in here have never stepped in the ring. It hurts getting punched, not to mention doing it for a living! I respect both fighters, and every man that steps in the ring. RJJ is still a bum though.
