    I completely agree, it looks annoying when Calzaghe does it.

    I just re-watched the highlights on the bbc, and i thought it was funny as hell. ****, even RJJ was laughing at some points.

    Just after watching the highlights on BBC. Calzaghe does look a tit when doing it. Same when he did it against Bika. I felt sorry for Jones.

    But the parts where he'd stick his head right between Jones' gloves were funny as ****.

    It was unbecoming of a future HOFer to act in such a manner.

    Me too.He's a terrible showboater.The worst ive ever seen.
    Ali,Leonard,RJJ,even Naz,were smooth,slick and fluid doing it.....Joe just looks like a skinny John Ruiz when he tries it.
    He's done it in other fights too....very badly:roll: :patsch

    Your boy got his ass SCHOOLED and handed to him and Joe was ****ing with him too. Joe is flat out faster than Roy, and it was HILARIOUS to watch Jones get embarrassed like that.

    I wonder how Jones was able to throw the same amount of punches he threw in his prime and land roughly the same amount and still not beat Calzaghe. I guess thats what happens when you go fighting for a while and not fight anybody substantial. Then when a few guys who fight a little better than what your used to fighting don't lay down and you start getting knocked out, then you hit a road block. Then you don't want to let your hands go. Then you don't want to take to many chances. Then you realize a good fighter will take advantage of that weakness and all you want to do is cover up. Then you have nothing else to fall on to beat your opponent. See I don't think Jones was as old as most people think. He was trying to be competitive for the first 6 rounds. But between him being a little older, just a little, and the body shots that Joe was landing early, it was obvious Jones wasn't gonna do what so many are used to seeing him do. And there was not a big age disperity the way alot of people have been twisting it. 3 years seperated isn't that much a difference. Yes Roy isn't the same fighter he used to be, but not by much. I don't think it was so much his age as it was his fear of getting caught. I think Jones has been losing mostly because he can't take a good punch and now his competition knows it.

    Calzaghe looked "foolish" showboatiing?

    Well, personally I think all fighters who showboat look foolish. It's shows a lack of class and a disrespect not only for the other fighter, but for the sport itself.
    Roy's always looked like an idiot when he's showboated and it's stupid to say that somehow his ring antics are less "foolish" than Calzaghe's.

    If you can Showboat and embarrass a jackass like RJJ, it's all good baby.

    Was it also hilarious watching Duran get stopped by William ****ing Joppy? :patsch Roy is so far past his best. This fight was sad to watch.

    You call Chavez shot when Hoya raped him....yet nothing is said in Jones's defense here? :huh
