ok this fight is coming off. It's about time in my eyes. i think it will actually be an exciting fight and i feel both men are declined. but recently alot of people have been pushing for a RJJ win. I myself am riding with JOE on this one and by Ko in 8 rounds. i feel this will be a great fight but alot of people are starting to underestimate joe and thats when he comes out his best. people seem to think that the roy of old will show up. and that the joe of the hopkins fight will show up. joew still has 1 or 2 good fights left in him and will give the fans public something they have never seen before.:good IMHO
As much as I want Roy to win, I will pick Calzaghe by UD. People take the Hopkins fight out of context I think... Saying Hopkins dropped him, imagine if that was Roy's power... Well Hopkins dropped Tarver too, something Jones failed to do in 3 fights... You just never know though, Jones has to somehow find a way to fight 3 minutes of every round, or will get outpointed easily im afraid.
Prime Roy destroys Calzaghe, and that is coming from one of Calzaghe's biggest defenders on this board. But this version of RJJ isn't active enough. I think Calzaghe wins a decision based on workrate.
I'll take Joe but it sure as **** isn't by KO. I would expect this one to be close, probably a split decision IMO. It will be interesting to see to guys that have always been way faster than their oposition fight a guy faster than they have ever seen even in their declined states.
