after how many yrs did he finally unify it? PLease lets not go down this road, its 2 early in the morning 4 me 2 even do this calzaghe thing with you right now. If dude is soo good right lets read in between the lines here. If he was so good, he was apart of bernards and roys era, why did he wait till now 2 fight over here. If he really wanted 2 prove himself, and "take a risk" like he did 2nite, why didnt he do that earlier? If you wanna prove your the best you go out and make the fights happen. As much as I dont like Tarver, dude earned my respect you know why, he was a nobody, but he fought his way up and he went after a fight with Roy Jones, he said he was the best and he got the fight and did wat he had 2 do. If Calzaghe really wanted the fight it couldve been made. Frank Warren knew wat he was doin, why would you risk comin over here, when the money is good over in Wales. Please man I dont buy it.
wat xcuse did i make point it 2 me lol, please, bring the post up. SInce the 1st post I said he won, in other posts I said no1 is disputin his win. He won fair n square. Who is makin xcuses 4 roy, again 4 the 2nd time, I am just a fan roy losing doesnt do nothin 2 me. He has 2 dela with that not me, im just vocing my opinion, freedom of speech if you will, a right that I have in the US. that is all
lol these are facts, so here let me help you you g2 youtube.com you type in roy jones jr find a highlight, watch it not 1nce not2wice, 3x's so you dont 4get it. Then come back and tell me if that person you saw fighting, was doing the same things 2nite. He beat Roy Jones congrats bruh, if you feel satisfaction from beating this roy jones then let me not spoil ya joy lol. Damn shame it is really
calzaghe g2 earn my respect period. When he beat Kessler I gave him all his props, I said that was a solid win, against a good fighter, good resume builder. Him fightin hop and jones, ima suppose 2 b impressed. Thats like this dude oscar pickin on a 135 pounder in pacman. If he beats Pacman im suppose 2 b impressed by that. Oscar is supose 2 win Same here, Jones was the underdog 4 a reason.
Youre just making excuses up for the man. Yes Jones jr isnt in his prime but neither is Joe Calzaghe, remeber that!!
I agree that this achievment is not as great as some poeple think. I think Chad Dawson beating Adamek means more than beating this version of RJJ. As for the cut yes it gave the impression that Roy was beaten to a bloody pulp, however the cut was caused by the punch and Cazlaghe did bust up Jones, he face was pretty swollen at the end.

Fab2333, i hear exactly what yiu are saying and reading some of the replies by so called boxing fans are a joke. dont worry they spend a lot of time on the internet boards, they do this stuff a lot:good As i've said in another thread, Joe hasnt achieved anything of any great substance in beating Jones lastnight. Jones doesnt have the punching power to trouble Joe and as soon as Jones realised that he stopped throwing...I say that forgetting the first round, but at the beginning of the fight Jones was fresh and that was him in the "best shape of his life" as he put it. As the fight went on i wasnt sure he could keep up with Joe's pace, but you are right that before the cut he was beginning to make some progress, the cut happened in the 7th i think, after the cut the fight was over. For a fighter to get a cut for the first time after 50 odd fights, with a joke of a cutman in his corner (was that a cutman) no wonder Jones' gaeplan fell apart. I'm not saying Jones would have won, but at times the fight looked pretty embarrassing for RJJ. He did stop throwing puches and it was becasue he wasnt fast enough to deal with Joe. After the 9th JOnes went back to his corner and said he was trying to hit him bu he couldnt. Jones has been shot since Tarver. Calzaghe and Hatton want name on their resume, but they dont go after these guys unless they are confident they an win, this usually means waiting until the fighter is percieved to be on the downwards. it's worked for Joe, it backfired against Ricky, cause Mayweather wasnt shot.
cuts are part of boxing...and roy being a 19 year veteran , you cant use a cut as a distraction or excuse.....
who cares everyone knew calzaghe was going to win by UD was always going to happen... but like in the lacy fight he apparently threw near to a 1000 punches against jones but couldn't knock him out and in the lacy fight he hit lacy with a 1000 punches but couldn't knock him out
How come they never used vasaline on Roy's cut? he had it on his glove and never used it? They were trying to get the fight stopped on cuts.
