I am going for Jones. It is time that Slapzaghe got beaten. I gaurentee everybody that Slapzaghe is not going to be able to beat Rocky Marciano's heavyweight record of 49-0-0
I'm looking forward to this fight, should be interesting. I'm split on who will win, but I think I'm going to side with RJJ, I think he'll be too quick for Joe and will end up stopping the fight somewhere in the 10th round.
Sheltered? he just beat Bernard Hopkins a top pound 4 pound fighter, I think you guys are living in the late 90's, ya know when Roy Jones was 'da' man.
If this had happend 8 or so years ago then ya RJJ all the way, but 2008...im goin wit Calzaghe.
I don't see how Calzaghe can win this. His fight against hopkins didn't impress me very much.
But his beatdown on Lacy was friggin scary.
I have to go with Roy. I've been a fan of his for a long time.
I think even though Roy is 3 years his senior, he's still faster and I know he hits harder than Joe who appears to have very little zing on his slappy swatty punches.
I think Roy will win by late TKO or Unanimous Decision.
Who beat Roy Jones????....Oh yeah Antonio Tarver who lost to Hopkins who lost to...you guessed it Calzaghe....
Now clearly that doesnt mean that Joe will beat Roy but that brings us back to Tarver.....a southpaw with a left hook that Roy still cant see comming.....the point???
Well Calzaghe is ambidextrous and IF he can come out southpaw maybe and throw that left hook I think its lights out for Roy.....now thats a big if but at the same time if Joe stays conventional I still like his chances against Roy considering Joe's right and left have the same power....:dunno:

Tarver fought a Roy Jones Jr. that went down from heavyweight and then subsequently had his head knocked off by Glen Johnson. Stlyes make fights also applies to boxing. Hopkins was winning the fight and even dropped Joe in the first until his stamina faded in the fight. Bernard fought too conservative
Jones' defense was never perfect but he had unnatural reflexes and speed to make up for it. Too a degree I see your point but, he's adjusted lately though, and won't be dropping down from heavyweight.
I thought Calzaghe would put on a performance but I was surprised at RJJ's lack of an answer. A great showing by Calzaghe & hopefully he fights Dawson before he retires. He's not a heavy hitter but it's just a pleasure to watch him school people like that.
All of you that bet on RJJ were thinking about RJJ of the late 90's, in which RJJ would've beat Calzaghe and I wouldve went all in. But this is 2008 folks and well ya seen it for yourself.
Well damn, Jones was looking alright till' he started waiting. Fuckin Calzaghe was standing right in front of him with his hands down! He just wasn't letting them go.
i knew i should have bet with my head and not my heart. happens every time.
