The cut on Jones it bad I have it level 4-4.
I have it 4 to 3 to Jones but Joe was knocked out in the first round.
Jones is badly cut now
I don't understand some of the comments on here. Jones didn't look past his best to me, but Joe was too strong and quick for Jones. Both Bernard and Kessler both came back looking as strong as ever after been well beaten by Joe. He's beaten everybody there is to beat in his weight. Surely now there can be no doubt that Joe Calzaghe is a true great of the sport.
Welsh people are hard and cool
don't forget that most Boxers and pundits tipped Jones.
As they've done with every other "class" opponent he's fought, and then witnessed the cool, hard welsh fella knock the living shit out of them.
Calzaghe was so cocky, I thought it would cost him, dancing around like that with his hands down.
So that is it from Calzaghe then.....
One of the greatest Bristish fighters ever... Was glad to have followed his career from early on.... Good man Joe... Hope you made a fortune and invest it wisely.... Probably the best thing to ever come out of Wales as well
I think the Roy Jones in his prime would have beat him claims are justified in some ways.
Roy Jones in his prime did his best to avoid Calzaghe
Based on what? Although Warren said he wanted the fight, Calzaghe was never a big draw at the time in terms of reputation or money, if so he could have got the Hopkins fight earlier as well. Jones Jr beat Hopkins and Toney in their primes, along with winning world titles from middleweight to heavyweight. You do not do that without taking certain risks, or avoiding people and just going against fighters which suit you perfectly all the time. He would have been able to keep up with the pace better then and would have been much faster and more powerful. He no longer has the stamina to keep away from Calzaghe for any length of time, the workrate to out punch him in close quarters, or killer instinct to finish him off if he hurt him. This is coming from someone who is British and a Calzaghe fan as well.
With all due respect Keyser; but he's just beaten every name in his division and all you can say is "he wouldn't have beaten his opponent had his opponent been at his peak..." as though it's a fact. THAT I don't understand.
Joe has always been underrated. He's beaten lots of world class boxers in their prime, last one being Kessler. And yet people still doubt him. Would Joe have lost to Jones at his prime? You know what, I think he wouldn't have.
So lets start giving Joe the respect he deserves.
