    RJJ has more snap in his punches than B-Hop has. B-Hop wasn't able to make Calzaghe respect his power and therefore he couldn't throw him off his game the way Jones will. Calzaghe will be throwing less than he's accustomed to when he tastes those counters coming in quickly !!

    I honestly wouldn't be totally surprised if Jones pulled this one off. I'm more worried for Joe about this one than I ever was for the Hopkins fight I just feel that Calzaghe is deteriorating fast and his ****ed up hands could be a big factor here.

    Forget that it's happening years too late, it's gonna be a very good and close fight I think.

    No come off it. I'd favour Prime Lewis over a Prime Tyson if they ever fought, easily. Both Lewis and Tyson have power. JC don't. Roy does (well, enough to knock JC on his ass). The real factor here is RJJ's stamina.

    The difference is that TYSON spent more time traininig in strip clubs and such....He wasn't serious at all at that point.....With Jones, it's all serious business right now !!

    RJJ takes this fght to big and to strong for JC. JC thinks he has got an easy fight. I think JC is for a suprise. JC just ought to be thankful he did not fight jones in his prime.

    I love RJJ but how in the world do you figure a UD for RJJ? Based on what? He's inactive as hell, his legs are shot and he can't move, and he stays in that turtle defense a lot when he's attacked while Calzaghe tries to throw 100 punches a round and moves around like a rabbit in the ring and comes from so many different angles.

    He'll have no respect for Joe's power and once he knows he cant get KO'd he'll open up and start flowing with quick combinations, making Joe look silly.

    Jones, UD or late KO, say it now....:yep

    anybody could have looked good at the bums Roy has faced recently. Prince Badi, Hanshaw, and a fat inactive Cheato Trinidad who has a chin just as bad as Roy's is good competition? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    I'd love for your prediction to be true, but Joe has good power and Roy was hurt by Johnson.

    Calzaghe and Johnson have the exact same number of KO's. Look what feather fisted Glen Johnson did to Roy knocked him out cold for 6 minutes. If Johnson could KO Roy so can Calzaghe.

    I guarantee that Calzaghe will land with more against roy than he did against Hopkins. Hopkins played it cagey and spoiled all night. Roy dont have Hopkins defence to hold Calzaghe off.
