    Do you think that these many so called-experts tipping Roy Jones Junior to turn back the clock and win on Saturday night (and some are saying he'll win quite easily by the way) are getting caught up in the hype the fight has generated?

    The reason I ask is, when the fight was first mentioned for this year back in around May time you'd have been hard pressed to find anybody fancying Jones. Now it appears that it's a 50/50 split with many people seeming to believe that we'll see the RJJ of the 1990's.

    Are people letting the hype cloud their judgement or is it a distinct possibility?????

    Calzaghe could very well lose, that's not my point.

    My point is that people are letting the hype shows effect their judgement.

    If you've not changed your opinion recently, well done - you've always been wrong.

    AFTER the Hopkins fight nobody was giving RJJ a chance.

    A lot of people seem to have been swayed quite recently.

    what happens when roy neutralizes joe by making joe respect his powerfull counter punches

    hell slow down and end up trying to beat jones at his own game, and it'll fail

    Jones' legs are gone. There is no denying this. If he still had his legs, he could win, but he simply doesn't.
