Keep the excuses coming go on ! Whats next ? Some of you guys cant take it that you dont have a guy that can come anywhere near calzaghe right now. Lacy was the next big thing and was going to destroy joe, but then afterwards he was overated, then kessler would take joes titles and then afterwards apparently kessler was overated Hopkins chose to do the tango with calzaghe because he knew if he opened up calzaghe would have tagged him all night long (smart fighter bhop) So those were hungry dangerous fighters that joe took care of but because it wasnt and american disposing of them it didnt get any respect. Same thing when Joe faced hopkins and now jones, all the talk is of them being shot but bhop wasnt shot when he destroyed a guy that most on here worshipped and thought was the next great thing in pavlik. The fact is there will always be excuses from some of the americans becasue they cant take it that its a british fighter not american who is the class act in boxing right now. Grow up put your dummys back in your mouths and enjoy watching a fighter you are too ignorant to realise is one of the greatest fighters ever. And as for the disgraceful question from kellerman after tonights fight that chad dawson should be next for joe, dont make me laugh will you the guy is rubbish, in the words of steve bunce Dawson couldnt draw flies
What excuse is bothering you? Jones has been shot since 2003, if you just found out about it then welcome to boxing. Even Calzaghe his self said so in a recent interview before the fight was made.
Lol. Why do you idiot Calzaghe fans keep bringing up Lacy when Lacy just got dominated on Friday Night fights by a nobody and is going to get whipped by Jermaine Taylor? jesus cant you just admit your boy ducked and dodged most of his career and has beaten nobody of note lately but overhyped fighters and old timers?
This is too funny. Do some people from the other side of the world actually think that the RJ that walked into the ring was the same guy with the reflexes and foot speed of the RJ of years past? If so, THEY need to get a head examination.
I didnt even read the whole post, but I agree that there is a lot of crying going on over this fight.
Apparently so. Either that or they believe that Joe's skills have degraded just as much as Roy's have due to age. C'mon. How does anyone give Calzaghe credit for that win? Jones looked like ****. His footwork is awkward. His lateral movement and head movement are totally gone. Roy's idea of defense now is covering up and imitating a turtle while leaning into the ropes. He wasn't even trying to throw punches during the last half of the fight. Did anyone who's nuthugging Calzaghe for taking part in this farce ever watch Jones in his prime? I'll give Joe credit for getting paid, but that's at it. He was in there against a corpse. I wasn't emotionally invested in this fight at all, so I'll find really amusing if I flamed for being a "bitter/sore 'Yank' loser."
Most of them have very long arms and their knuckles drag along the street when they walk,that`s why the`re always bad tempered.
I Think you are being a bit unfair and I am an aussie. Roy Jones at his best was unbeatable. Joe Calzaghe is a great fighter but I think that Roy in his prime takes him out.
