    On the other hand I want Calzaghe to win so Yanks will stop with the euro hypejob stuff but I'd like to see Roy do good too because hes had couple bad losses.

    To be honest, I'm not bothered at all who wins. Whoever does win, especially if its Calzaghe, it won't be a win of any real significence if my view.

    They say better late than never, but I don't believe that's always accurate. Jones is shot, no matter how much he may try to cinvince us otherwise. Calzaghe has stated this will be his last fight so retirement is already on his mind.

    If Joe underestinmates Jones then maybe the fght could be interesting, but otherwise I see Calzaghe winning a somewhat dull bout. People said Hopkins-Calzaghe was a dull fight, we I predict Jones-Calzaghe won't be far off that!

    :lol: boxing needs exactly the opposite or all the upcoming boxers can think they can get away with the same crap as he did and take the shortcut to ATGness and HOF status. Joe losing would be justice and sweet karma

    Jones, I'm not a huge fan of his, but it's always nice to see a legend reclaim his crown. Calzaghe's lack of power and weak slapping style does not appeal to the average fan in America, the Kessler/Calzaghe drew extremely low numbers for HBO. I feel a Jones win is whats best for boxing.

    It was the lowest in the history of the sport on there. Showtime or whatever it is called.

    Maybe it was Showtime, I remember someone posting the numbers a few months back and they were down right embarassing, it drew Showbox the new generation type numbers.:lol:

    I'm not from the states, so I'm not sure what broadcasts they have, but who ever had it (I think it was show time), I remember reading in a news artical that it was the lowest viewing figures ever on record.

    Perhaps thats why they were so keen to have RJJ V Calzaghe in the states.

    I think your right, I just hope Jones has something left in tank, if he does I could really see him knocking out the light punching Calzaghe, I'm sure the Hopkins fight gave him more confidence to win.

    The less, race, country, continent etc.... gets mentioned the better. Try dropping it from your conversation. Like that will make a difference. :lol:

    Roy can win this one boys, he really can but he wont. I think it'll be a great fight, i think Roy has got enough for one last great show but i think Joe's got a few great shows left in him. He better have one for fight night coz i think Roy brings everything he has left.

    Inferior fighters to Calzaghe have done it already, I don't really see the issue.
