I think after seeing Calzaghes performance last night That Roy could go the distance, but I dont see a win. Calzaghe didn't have that knockout power, and thats usually the key to beating Roy's glass jaw. Other than that Roy would probably play mind games with him.Quote:

But i really dont like Roy Jones...never did. I loved it when he got knocked the fuck out...i'd like to see it again, although i think Pavlik/Calzhage would be the best fight.
Seems as though the only way to beat Roy Jones is to have knock-out power. Like I said, he has a glass jaw, but if you dont have that power, Roy will sit and there and toy with ya and make look ridiculous.
Joe's slaps wont KO Roy, but I feel he could tire him out with his work rateQuote:

thats true, joe doesnt have the KO power, it looks like he slaps half the time.Quote:

problem with joe is that hes sometimes boring. against jeff lacy he was amazing, and against bhop kinda less amazing.
having said that, it would be good for him to finish off with roy.
who'd win?
joe definitely. i mean roy fought whom?when? roy hasnt been around for a while and hasnt been tested by credible opponents lately.
roy v joe would be a 12 rounder with joe winning with points. no stoppage here, because joe isnt known as a hard hitter, just a damn good boxer.
Pavlik v joe would be beautiful.
I was talking about Roy in his prime.Quote:

Well....Hopkins is the KING of taking fighters out of their fight and making the fight look ugly/unimpressive. Maybe if he didn't clinch after EVERY exchange Joe could have let his hands go a little more? I know you meant knockdown and not KO but still, that was pretty much a flash knockdown with Joe being off-balance (it was a perfect right by Hopkins, though). Hardly something to be embarrassed about. Hopkins should be more embarrased for pulling that huge bitch move with the NON-low blows. The old man needed a break cause his legs are leaving him quickly. We're basically agreeing except I think that Bernard's stock did drop a bit. Peace-Quote:
