..it's by me. Because we all know the board needed another one. I think Roy is pretty much shot at this point, his confidence was destroyed by Tarver, and with that his explosiveness and his killer instinct. You can say he has a glass chin, maybe.. but that won't be his downfall in this fight. How I see it going: Roy will look good, ala Hops in the first few rounds, might even win the first one or two... he will look to shine against Joe, but Joe will impart his aggressivness on Roy, and Roy will shell up ala Glen Johnson. I'm predicting a wide UD or a late TKO/KO for Joe. I'm a bigger fan of Roy, anyone who's been here awhile probably knows I'm not the biggest JC fan. Yet I'm realistic. Roy won't/can't win this fight. Not now. 10yrs ago? Yes, but it isn't 1998.
personally i think talking goes out the window when two fighters reach the ring. I think people are underestimating RJJ, just so they arnt too dissapointed by a defeat. My view is that this will be a much harder fight for Joe than the hopkins fight, i know hopkins is a legend, but this is going to be tougher for joe.
Roy Jones is going to beat the **** outta Joey Calz...jus watch and see...the only reason people are righting him off is because of his knock out losses which were really only due to him losing all that muscle...not fat...muscle! Look at Roy Jones before he fought Ruiz...then look at the fight when he fought Ruiz...then watch the first Tarver fight....not the same Roy Jones he's took some easy comeback fights to get his ring generalship and confidence back now that he has his body straight and understands that his reflexes are not the same he's going to smash Joe...i believe the Roy Jones who beat Trinidad would beat Joe and Roy looks 10X better since then....its on
