Why all the HATE for Jones-Calzaghe Fight?

I'm a huge RJJ fan so don't think I'm bias against him BUT.....

the reason he got KO'd was because he has lost that amazing gift of being able to react at light speed. For a guy who's whole style of fighting relies on quick reflexes and the ability to react.....once it's gone it don't come back regardless of how many rounds you get under your belt.

The guy needs to change his style to deal with his fading skills.

 

I wish I shared your enthusiasm, but I think your watching too many old tapes of RJJ and not enough recent fights of his. The Tito fight was a pretty good performance, but Tito has become a part time boxer over the last few years and is clearly past his prime as well, not only that, but he fought Jones way outside his normal weight.

Jones might give Hopkins a couple tough rounds, but he wont be able to sustain that type of workrate for long, Calzaghe can. Jones will take the first 2 rounds, but after that Jones will start to find it harder to counter and it will become apparent Jones is over his head in this match, aside from an early knockout, Jones' chances are very slim.

 

Is Kirk your husband?

 

You should have read Kirk's post, thought about it, then given up this silly premise.

Jones is totally and irreversibly shot. The fact that he went 36 rounds with the likes of the Prince, Hanshaw and a bloated and shot Trinidad tells you all you need to know, and that's ignoring his KO defeats.

I'm as big a Roy Jones fan as there is, but he's an old man who used to rely on athleticism and no longer has his legs.

Like Kirk, I don't blame Calzaghe for taking this fight -- he's entitled to seek out the best paydays -- but let's be honest about what it is.

 

Hate for this fight is hate for Calzaghe. Jones-Trinidad was accepted as legit pretty much universally (I remember the majority of people giving me absolute hell for suggesting it was on the same level as Mayorga-Vargas), give or take a few grumbles here and there.

 

:rofl :rofl :good

 

The fact is . . . nobody can please everybody.

It shows like hate . . . I'll say it's just a normal reaction by people who would rather see Pavlik fight JC instead of Jones. :yep
