    I knew he was good, but he was very good tonight. I do not like him because of his cocky attitude and all the BS slapping, but he dominated this RJJ.


    RJJ deserves to lose because he refused to fight. This RJJ is old and slow.

    I say a prime RJJ would be a different fight, but it would be a great fight and Calzaghe would be no pushover even then.

    I am not a RJJ fan and never have been, but I wanted him to win.

    Calzaghe deserves it and his fans deserve to hear that he is a damn good fighter. My biggest regret for Calzaghe is that he didn't fight anyone until the past few years. If he had fought these type of fights a long time ago, he would undoubtedly be considered ATG. He may still be anyway, but if he had started fighting these fighst years ago, there would be no argument.

    My hat is off to Calzaghe and his fans.

    Calzaghe is good. I can't believe he let his hands down from 2-12. RJ, despite his hand speed, couldn't capitalize. There is a reason for that.

    Whats the reason? I couldn't figure it out. RJJ acted like he was afraid to punch. One would think that at some point you let it all hang out to try to win. I never saw him do it even once.

    I do realize that this RJJ is a shell of what he once was, but I am still so very disappointed in him. When a guy holds his face in front of you for like 8 rounds and you don't even try to punch, that's sad.

    Some of you must have been living under a rock for the last 10 years.
