Yeah cuz his chin went untouched in his previous 50 bouts. Bums - Frazier, Telesco Used Up - Going 12 pathetic rounds with McCallum...
He was - but one can make the case Hops won the first 3-4 rounds. I agree that the fight wouldve been a lot different of Hops didn't get a blow.
This is only partly true. Hopkins also threw a lot more as the fight progressed. So in the latter rounds, his output increased as his opponent's...
Yup. You're right. And that's because he spent much of the fight posing in the middle of the ring. When he finally tried to turn it up in the...
I think you're wrong. I think Jones will punch effectively in spurts with his back against the ropes, as he did in Tarver III, Ajamu, and Hanshaw....
I think that if there's one thing Jones has rectified since his prime years, it's his ability to fight off the ropes. Tarver tried to do what he...
I mentioned it among many things - if you disagree, state why. I'm not filling out a questionnaire, I'm discussing boxing. So if you have a point,...
:lol: He throws a lot but I think that may be his undoing against Jones. In fact, I think he'll be more successful if he keeps Jones' back...
I did. I believe he's stronger than Pavlik. I've led. Now can you explain why I'm wrong? Thanks.
Well according to some here, Lacy's ruined for taking all that punishment. I'm not one of them - I never thought he was that good. In any case,...
Then I can't help you. Perhaps you should go back and watch some more Calzaghe fights, come back and explain how Pavlik is a stronger fighter....
Like hell he doesn't. He's slapped all those opponents out, eh? Calzaghe has VERY good power - ask Mikkel Kessler. Or the xx amount of...
Yes, that's exactly what I think. I had him winning at the time of the stoppage.
Actually, I'm dead serious when I say Jones beats Calzaghe. And very confident in that pick. I love Roy but I refused to watch the first...
Somehow I had a feeling you'd respond with something like this. Jake, I didn't hear from Carlos for a long time after this fight - before...
;) Are you implying I am?!?!?!?
Really? You don't think so? Well if it happens, we'll see. Methinks there's a world of difference between Edison Miranda - or even Jermain Taylor...
I'm a Jones Stan - this means the world to me :lol: On a serious note, agreed. Except I think Calzaghe knocks Pavlik TFO and Jones beats both...
Like most great fighters, he doesn't agree. Although I will say this - he's pretty consistent. When he was on top, he basically told fighters...
This from the guy who had Tito-Jones a draw. :doh:
I doubt it. Unless you think Jermain Taylor would do the same. I love Pavlik but he's not THAT good. Let's see how he does at 168 before talking...
Jake, I sure hope you're right. I'm pretty sure Jones is willing to take less. He's pretty much stated this.
Youre right. Roy should've fought Joe in Wales when Joe was basicallya nobody holding a nobody's title while Roy sat atop the sport.
:laughing:
Well I didn't have him beating Hops either time. And while he's pretty good, let's not forgot how we were blasting Jermain for his performances...
It's common sense but according to Roy on Btalk, Calzaghe would make eight figures. He does NOT make that against Pavlik who has one somewhat...
Because he's gonna force Pavlik to fight backwards. Plus, I like Calzaghe's chin over Pavlik's. And his experience. And his strength. And his...
Not to me. Calzaghe blows him out IMO. I don't even think Arum's dumb enough to make that fight.
Well for starters, how about a career-high payday? You could say Pavlik is more deserving (although I think that's a mismatch IMO) but factor...
Man...I don't believe this sh*t. Hops was right - they ain't trying to fight Roy.
