    I really hope Jones rolls back the years. Cant see it happening though. Jones will be lucky to last the 12 in a clear UD victory for Joe.

    I was there for the Hopkins fight but not sure if I'm gonna fork out all that money again even if it's his last fight.

    It will surely be a better fight to watch than the Hopkins one that's for sure. At least Jones will come to fight and not spoil for 12 rounds.

    Yeah he probably wont drop him in the first round either.

    I doubt he will.

    That was a cracking right hand that Hopkins landed though credit where it's due. It's the only positive thing he did though which was a shame.

    Has he officially retired yet?

    No but I hope he does. Guys a ****ing legend & I'd hate to see him carry on & lose again. I stilll think he could school most fighters from 160-175 which is testament to a man his age. Should definitely retire though. Nothing more to prove.

    **** it, if it's in Vegas I have no real reason to be interested in this fight, don't want to see Calzaghe lose his 0 in his last fight but I also don't want to see RJJ beat either.

    Will he?

    Gun-shy I think, certainly looked that way against Tarver last time, too scared to get hit

    If Jones can get to 10% of his best he could win this. Sadly I think he'll be humiliated.

    He'll need a damn sight more than 10%.

    I really hope Calzaghe doesn't go out with two wins against two old legends. He has to fight Roy Jones Jr then Pavlik and he can retire without any ducking allegations.

    I'll still tune it.

    It will be interesting while it lasts, and I don't think Jones will want to end up humiliated. Of course he mightn't have a choice in the matter.

    I can see Jones giving Joe problems early, but Jones' lack of overall workrate will allow Calzaghe to dominate down the stretch for a clear UD win.

    Nope, because even if he does people will say he needs to fight Dawson. Pavlik is gaining some ridiculous elevation at the moment.
