    Roy ofcourse. But as i saw in the Trinidad fight, Roy's legs are GONE. I hope Joe doesn't make him look like a fool, Roy is a legend and doesn't deserve that.

    Jones. I cant stand Joe Calzaghe and his dad. This guy has the audacity to talk trash when he only has one fight in the US. Not to take anything away from him when he beat Kessler and B-Hop, but this guy was well protected throughout his career.

    Roy Jones...naturally because he is the underdog, and because it would be so cool if Jones gets his title back and is recognized as the Champ at 175 again at his age

    Suprise suprise, most people on the general forum want Roy Jones to beat Calzaghe..... probably a lot of the same guys who wanted someone to hand RJJ his ass when he was on top of the boxing world.

    If a fighter has become too successfull, they always develope a hate crowd & a pretty large one at that.

    Ps. If Calzaghe comes in in shape, comes forward & does what he does best then a lot of people on ESB are gonna be disapointed.... this is Joe`s fight to lose, not Roy`s to win IMO.

    I'll be pulling for Roy, but I will be really surprised if he wins.

    Complete bull****

    Calzaghe is a true warrior thru & thru, he would fight anyone, show the man some respect even if you do resent his success.

    Jones would have his hands full with Calzaghe any time in their careers, not saying Joe wins prime v prime but he`d certainly test RJJ more than anyone else ever did pre Tarver.

    After the drama and excitement of this weekend, Its time to come back to earth and realize that **** fights like Calzaghe vs Jones are still being made. Im just ****ing bored with Calzaghe and his whole career. You know what I dont really care who wins, its meaningless and an utter bore the fight will be total ****. A slapfest. I voted Jones but as I sit here now I realize I dont give a ****....Im still thinking about the the two great warriors and the awsome fight that boxing fans were treated to this weekend. **** this fight I dont care who wins.

    :lol:
    You USAbians make me laugh my ass off
    :lol:

    Calzaghe would **** all over Pavlik. Jones (even now) will give JC a better fight than Pavlik.

    Remember big bad Jeff Lacy was gonna expose JC ?
    Remember Kessler was gonna do what the (now) overrated Lacy could not & prove JC was over-hyped.
    Amazing how these real fighters become duds after joe slaps them around isnt it ?
    Remember how Hopkins was gonna show the (now) overrated Kessler how its done against this overrated Welsh guy.
    :rofl
    Please stop.

    Wake up & get a ****in grip, you aint got a fighter from 175 downward that can beat Calzaghe, thats why you talk bull**** & go round in circles avoiding reality - Calzaghe is a top 2 p4p fighter, just accept it now & it wont feel as bad later on.

    :thumbsup

    **** off **** off **** off.

    don't pull that hypocritical bull**** when many an american star never leaves the comfort zone of his own country to fight abroad.

    i know you are not american SS but this double standard pisses me off.

    Im not even that big of a fan of Roy and I like Joe but I dont know why Ill be standing up punching the air in front of the T.V cheering for Roy..I dont know why, I just will be. Maybe its just the aussie in me going for the underdog because frankly Joe will win and clearly.

    I'm hoping Roy Jones wins, but I don't think it will happen.

    What personality? Saying "At the end of the day.." ad nauseum is not personality. Jones has personality and is infinitely more interesting than Joe.
