    I am NOT a fan of either guy, AT ALL.

    I hope Roy wins but I think Calzaghe will just out work him.

    Because they think this guy is the old Roy,because some fought him,because of genuine bias etc

    I've picked Jones to win this fight long ago when the fight was first made.

    I think Calzaghe has bitten off more than he can chew this time.

    I also pick Jones over Hopkins if that fight ever materializes.

    There seems to be a lot of people picking Jones at the moment. Wonder if they'll Calzaghe any credit if he does win?

    Are you kidding? Of course they won't. All the same people who are picking Jones to win, will be the same who are ripping him to peicies after the fight. It's his fault after all that they've been made to look a fool on ESB. Calzaghe doesn't get credit, either way.

    Well I wish they would start betting on a Jones win because the odds for a Calzaghe win are terrible....hoping they inprove before the weekend.

    ...of course not. Jones is fast, has good reactions, good timing, good precision...just because he's not what he used to be in his prime doesn't mean he's shot.

    Expect a good, close fight!:good

    I certainly will!!! Jones got KTFO twice, for ****sake it doesnt mean he's shot. It means he lost.....The closer it gets to fight night, the more I'm beginning to think Jones puts on an epic performance and schools Joe

    haha, Does anyone else think we can discard Bhop's prediction, along with Lacy and Malignaggi. Think the first two are still bitter, and Malignaggi only picked Jones because Calzaghe picked Hatton. I think Johnsons is the best analysis, although in saying that i still have Calzaghe on points.

    I'm kinda surprised. But i guess we could find much more fighters who think Joe is gonna win...

    Great to read some nice opinions, RJJ all the way, Calzaghe is a great fighter and all, but in all honesty he is a bit boring with his sloppy syle of fighting!.

    Jones is in another league when it comes to style and entertainment.
