    That Joe Calzaghe would be a -340 favorite over Jones 5 years ago. How the mighty have fallen. Today, I am hoping Jones to bring some of his "superman" skills back which I haven't seen for a very long time.
    He has been covering up more than the superman we used to see him. Instead of leading punches, he is more concern of getting hit. Where is superman? Is a long shot but I hope super Roy will show up and beat Joe's ass. Just 50% of his superman like skills will be enough to beat slappy joe. Hell a 43 year old bhop who throw less than 20 punches a round took joe on a split d which I thought is a draw so maybe the washed up jones can do better.

    Roy can still punch! Whether or not he can still do everything else remains to be seen.

    Well, I'm in his corner. I'm hoping to see a flash of brilliance.

    Haha too hard not to resist not betting on the odd +350 (or whatever it is) next to Roy Jones Jr's name.

    Well you ought to believe it, Joe made the perfect time to take this fight and the fight with Hopkins. What happened to never wanting to travel when those guys were young?
