It looks as though we are probably going to see Roy Jones Jr as the next opponent for undefeated world super middleweight champion, Joe Calzaghe.
Whilst Roy Jones is no where near as good as he was at his prime, he still put in an impressive display against Felix Trinidad and so could provide a challenge for Joe Calzaghe.
I think the key thing in the fight will be fitness and stamina. Roy Jones is an experienced boxer but he is past his prime and so I would give Calzaghe the edge over 12 rounds. But unlike Calzaghe, Roy Jones CAN PUNCH and so if he can land a few solid punches, we could see an early KO, this is the most likely scenario I see if we are to get a Roy Jones victory.
What do you think the Roy Jones Jr – Joe Calzaghe fight will be like?

Are you looking forward to the Joe Calzaghe – Roy Jones Jr fight?
Who will come out victorious: Roy Jones Jr or Joe Calzaghe?
I think Roy Jones’ speed will neutralize Calzaghe’s efforts and make him fight a “Roy Jones” paced fight. It’ll frustrate Joe and cause him to become impatient and make mistakes that Roy can capitalize on. Let’s be real. A Roy that’s “past his prime” is still faster and more agile than the majority of his opponents. He’s also one the greatest counter punchers the sport has ever seen, often beating opponents to the punch. In any sport ‘Speed Kills”! Roy wins! Methodically.
Bert Sugar Jr. LOL!

He proved that by repeatedly eating hard uppercuts in the Kessler fight. Nevertheless in any sport ‘Speed Kills”! Roy wins! Methodically.

calzaghe is so stupid! He should just walk away now, while hes still undefeated. One loss, and his legacy as the greatest boxer britain has produced will be shattered. He could quite easily become a washed-up over the hill figter who doesn’t kow hen to hang up his gloves. This being said, i would still hae to give the fight to calzaghe. He is too quick for the old guys (as shown against Hopkins) and even some of the young guys (Kessler). He would be fighting Jones at super Mid,and i would expect calzaghe to knock him out in the eighth

JOE CALZAGHE DOES NOT HAVE THE NATURAL SKILLS AND ANALYTICAL ASPECT OF BOXING THAT ROY HAS!HE CANNOT OUT BOX ROY JONES!! SO HE HAS TO PRESS AND PRESS AND JONES WILL COUNTER AL NIGHT! NOW HER’S WHERE THE DANGER LIES.WE SEEN HOPKINS DROP CALZAGHE WITH A LEAD RIGHT STRAIGHTAND HE WAS DAZED AFTERWARD. ROY JONES WILL LAND ALOT CLEANER AND HARDER SHOTS. ALSO CALZHAGE HAS THE TENDACY TO THROW WILD FLURRIES WITH THE IMPACT OF A SLAP THAT ROY CAN EASYLY COUNTER.JOE CANT TAKE THOSE UNORTHIDOX POWER STRAIGHTS FROM ROY! AND AS FAR AS 12 ROUNDS ROY IS CONDITIONED TO FIGHT 12 ROUNDS HE WONT TIRE WE SEEN THAT IN THE TRINIDAD FIGHT.ROYS FASTER STRONGER SMARTER AND HUNGRY AND IF HE EMPLOYS PHYSICAL TRAINER MACKIE ITS A WRAP FOR CALZAGHE!!JONES BY STELLAR KNOCKOUT

Calzaghe is not a puncher, he is a slapper. He’s overrated and Jones will prove it come Nov. I predict Jones wins in 6 by way of knock out.

Calzaghe is a JOKE… THE U.S. “GAVE” him the fight with HOPKINS. Calzaghe will be in for A BIG surprise wants he gets in the ring with even a GLIMPSE of what Jones was. Roy’s speed and power alone is far more advanced than FAGZAGHE HAS EVER seen. I will say if it goes all 12 rounds the wold be the ONLY way Calzaghe could steal the fight. Jones will not tire with a bitch of a fighter like little joey… DUDES A FAG, and Jones will win easy. Pavlik would KO Calzaghe inside of 3 rounds, SO GOOD ON FAG BOY NOT TO FIGHT PAVLIK… anyway JONES BY KO…. calzaghe is the bitch of boxing, along side is manger FRANK WARREN…. both are nothing but British fags!!!!
