    ...Pongsaklek Wonjongkam.




    But seriously, nothing good can come of this thread anyway, so no need to put up a real comment.

    This should really give people an idea as to how good Jones really was ..The two best fighters north at 160 had to wait for Jones to lose 4 steps and get Ko ed back to back before either of the 2 decided to step in the ring with him ..

    Hopkins. Calzaghe was hopped up on cocaine which is why he was able to throw so many punches.:smoke

    Make sure you get your facts streight because their is plenty of video and articles supporting the rematch offers from Jones as well as well documented articles from Joe 's own book explaining as to why he never wanted any part of Jones back in the day ..This is why the opted to fight him during the tail end of his career .Nice try though :good

    Yeah. who beat a very washed up Roy Jones convincingly?.. Its the 1st time ive watched Roy fight again since his ko loss to Johnson since i know at that time that Jones was already shot.. I hope he will hang up his gloves already. But a big boo to Hopkins for a gay acting job.

    Honestly, who gives a rat's ass. Jones has been convincingly shot for years. Neither guy should get credit for beating a credible opponent at the points that they beat Jones.

    Hopkins still needed to take breaks, foul, and have a bad ref to beat this version of Jones which is really pathetic, P4P #4? That's a joke, Dawson would beat the living **** out of his ass.

    I've been saying this for a minute as well. Hopkins would never fight Dawson in a million years.

    Calzaghe by far and I don't even need to see Hopkins-Jones 2. Calzaghe just did what he had to do and applied pressure to win. Hopkins, still like him, but he bitched and was crying that's not how a "tough guy" is supposed to act. I didn't ever think I'd say this but for once we need to give Calzaghe much more credit than Hopkins in a category.
