Why all the HATE for Jones-Calzaghe Fight?

Because its anti climatic

Jones is not a major factor anymore in the current scene of things...
Jones hasnt won a meaningful fight in more the FIVE YEARS
Jones is not p4p anymore (unlike JC and PAVLIK)
Jones proved and showed all he needed to show in his 3rd fight with tarver... against his nemises... the rubber match, when the fight was on the line and glory was there to be had... he rather be meek, dance around, and live to fight another day... even in his words.




Lets remember that pavlik just knocked out the guy that dethroned hopkins and beat him twice, 3 years before JC did, and didnt get knocked down in the process... (also beating taylor twice and capturing the undisputed middleweight crown puts him on a higher level then lacy ever was)


Beating the linear, undefeated, p4p'er prime middleweight champion who is also a name, and a rising coverboy for boxing (ring mag),

is never a 'nothing to gain everything to lose' scenario


the JONES fight is the REAL fight where that term should be applied.

If JC loses to Pavlik... it will be looked at as a passing of the guard, in fact i am willing to be JC would be the underdog... if he wins, it becomes the best win of his career alongside kessler. When you stand to gain one of the best wins of your career, how can you say that theres nothing to gain??? if in 4 months JC fought and defeated Pavlik... it would be one of the best wins of his career... which is all i need to say on the point of him having nothing to gain, in fact i believe Pavlik is 'officially' only 4 or 5 spots below JC p4p! now compare that to jones who isnt on ANYONES p4p lists... not even top 15!

and if he loses... he lost to the young undefeated middle champion whos sky is the limit, a p4p'er, and it was obvious (at least to me) that JC is/was slipping and on his way out anyways... and went out against the best



against JONES

If he loses against jones now it will damage his legacy much much worse then if he were to lose to pavlik at this point... NOBODY takes jones seriously anymore in terms of the power players at whatever weight, and jones has not had a noteworthy win in FIVE YEARS

If he wins... well ill let JC's own words sum that up
'I have no interest in being the 3rd man to KO jones'

a JC win is *yawn* ok whats next... its expected to most.

im sorry but i completely disagree with you


Although i dont want to see the fight at all.... i have no real problem with JC taking this fight... took him a long time to earn this money and so i say go for it, hes on his way out anyways...
but dont try twisting and turning it to make it appear as a legit move...

anyone and everyone should be able to see that Pavlik is a better fight legacy wise... glory wise.... and battle worthy wise.

Roy is simply a legend and $$$

and thats all there is


JC has fought Lacy, Kessler, and Hopkins.... if he wants to fight Roy Jones i say let him... just dont get it twisted.
