    He has been declining since 2001.

    If he fights Calzaghe, he will be destroyed.

    Because Calslappy was so dominant against a 43 yr old last month.

    That wasn't the same Roy Jones, but it was still a pretty good Roy Jones that showed up to get the win. I'm thinking he will get one more big fight at least and that will probably be sometime later this year against Joe Calzaghe.

    Judging by Calslappys dying swan impression in the first round against Hopkins, Jones won't need to produce a 12 round effort to win this fight. The occasional right hand will do the job :yep

    Hopkins landed right hand after right hand on Tito and didn't knock him out until the 12th round when Tito was desperate and swinging wildly.

    Hopkins put glass Joe on the floor with the first right hand he threw. Want to revise your comment?

    Anyone with a brain that watched Jones V Tito could see that Jones carried the guy basically because he likes him. Better pray he likes glass Joe eh :yep

    RJJ din't go for the KO other wise he could have it, he hurt several times, BTW Calslappy didn't look too good taking shots from Bhops.

    If Roy couldn't stop Anthony Hanshaw, he's not stopping Joe Calzaghe. This is 2008, not 1998.

    No. You can't compare the Tito that fought BHop to the Tito that fought Jones.

    Even so, Old RJJ wouldn't have done that. Reality is, he is long past it. If he isn't past it now, when do you think he will be? What other signs do you need?

    Exactly ... Joey's chick punches mean he doesn't have to even consider the possibility of getting hurt ... if he lands he knocks JC the f*ck out.
