What's it like to be a little dumber than everyone else?

Are you aware and embarassed, or does it make you oblivious to the fact that you can't keep up?

 

Going around talking about intelligence of people assumes you are an authority, I just haven't seen this demonstrated.

Lead by example.

 

:bears:

I love this forum

 

He was the one who started calling other people dumb. :dunno:

 

Lead by example. I think Dsimon is very capable of defending himself :bears:

 

Sure thing :bears:

 

Okay. I'll give you the Vegas odds OR we can do a stoppage bet where we only pay up if the opponent is stopped on cuts, the fight is stopped by the ref or he is KTFO. That way there is no blaming the judges any more which is always subjective.

You saw Hopkins "embarrass" Calzaghe in the last fight. I saw Hopkins throwing six punches a round and losing nine rounds out of 12 easily. :dunno:

My first instinct is to predict a Calzaghe win by decision something like 10-2 or 9-3 but I can actually see him forcing a Manfredo style stoppage but late instead of early.

I'll leave the bet up to you.

 

I was away. I had a stroke! And I also had a quadruple bypass and caught a nasty yeast infection of the throat. But I'm back and it's all good. I told Golden-Shower Boy Promotions to go ahead and cancel my fight with Drew Stipes. I couldn't train because of the stroke. ld:

Vegas odds.... cool. That will work.

Hopkins didn't throw a lot of punches but Calzighe didn't do much of anything.

Let me confirm a day before... I want to see how prepared he is. He may be taking a cash out fight again, if he is I won't bet him. I trust my instincts and think I could tell.

 

Its easy money... Roy Jones will make it happen. I'm trying to decide how much loot I'm ready to put on him. I got me a couple of ducks. :crafty::

 

WAR RJJ.

He will put the first loss on Calzaghes record.

 

I'm wit you dawg. I'm tryin to decide which round RJ is gonna stop Calzaghe. I'll Holla 5000

 

Big Dawg and Jaydawg, I'll take BOTH of your bets. Calzaghe is going to retire Michael Vick's uncle for good!

And Bigdawg, I remember YOU running your mouth about what JEFF LACY was going to do to Calzaghe. :atu: How did that work out again??? :atu:

 

We will definitely talk dollars come fight time. I got to see what my change is gonna look like at that time. But its a bet for real....

 

It'll sell well, but I'm not so sure about a bonafide sellout. I would imagine that alot of UK/Wales fans will make the trek over to NY since it's a simple trip, but Roy isn't a big ticket seller, and I don't don't know how likely it is that 18,000 Calzaghe fans are going to pack the Garden.

I'm going to buy tickets, as are most of the NY crew. Just buy the cheapest ones. Nobody shows up until the main event, so you're sitting at ringside for most of the night(at least). Sometimes, if things go well, nobody shows up at the seat and security doesn't even bug you.

 

we had pretty decent seats for cotto-mosley.

 

And that's actually the furthest back I've ever been when trying to work my way closer to the ring.

Our Toney-Ruiz seats were better.

 

yea that was the best, but we were lucky that no one came to that fight. ::

 

Calzaghe DOESN'T Have Tarver's DEFENSE & COUNTERPUNCHING Ability, NOR does he Possess Glen Johnson's DOGGED Determination...

So Judging Roy Jones Off of those 2 Fights is NO Indication of how He'll Do Against Calzaghe...

Calzaghe is a Volume SLAPPER...& His Workrate will Actually Work AGAINST him when Faced w/a Counterpuncher Equipped w/the HANDSPEED, POWER & ACCURACY of a Roy Jones...

Calzaghe will B Hit as HARD & as FREQUENTLY as he's EVER Been Hit...He'll Also Get Caught w/Shots he DOESN'T See Coming...& @ SOME Point, he's Going to Have to Decide if the Persistent Workrate is WORTH it...

Seriously, Does Calzaghe Hit ANY HARDER than Tito Trinidad???...Tito's Shots DIDN'T Bother Roy N the SLIGHTEST...

Bernard Hopkins EXPOSED Calzaghe's Susceptibility to the LEAD Right Hand, a Punch that Roy Executes BETTER than Hopkins EVER did...

Bottom Line, Roy Jones Will WIN this Fight...& Considering NOBODY is Giving him a Chance, Calzaghe's UNDEFEATED & Quite Possibly THE Best Fighter N the World(Lb 4 Lb), it'll B a VERY Sweet Day for Die-Hard Roy Jones Fans...



REEDartie:

 

Roy Jones isn't much of a frequent puncher himself, though.

Why don't you come up to NY, REED?

 

damn, i like roy jones, but some of you are in serious denial. calzaghe himself is getting a bit old too, but he's still light years better than anthony hanshaw and that version of tito roy beat earlier this year.

calzaghe is also a much more dynamic fighter than tarver or glen johnson. he might not hit has hard, but he throws from various angles and isn't exactly that easy to hit.

roy's right hand won't find its way like hopkins did.

 

Reed

Excellent post and right on if you ask me. Roy may not be as active as he used to be but he damn sure is more active then Hopkins, is faster then Hopkins, hits harder then Hopkins. This will be an easy win perhaps a stoppage by Roy for the simple fact is that Joe leaves himself wide the fuck open for Roys quick counter punching. We should also take into account of Roy's body punching as well. Joe is will return back to 168 with his first "L". I'll Holla 5000

 

I agree with you and REED completely

Calzaga is fast but he slaps..

Roy is fast but STILL has sharp punches..

Calzaga is getting stopped

 

I'll love to read the excuses after Roy loses against Calzaghe. The same people that are completely convinced Roy will not only win but dominate will be the first here to explain us how they knew all along Roy was shot because of the weight he lost before the Tarver fight, or even the Tito fight.:hammert:

 

Yeah, my grandfather was sitting right behind the ringside seats all night.

 

"NOBODY is Giving him a Chance":dunno:

We'll see how Jones fights this one. He's shown a lot of timidity in his recent fights. Jones has never been one to want to get hit, but his chin-protection has been in overdrive in recent fights. He does a lot of waiting and covering up...if he does that against Calzaghe he'll have problems.

The Trinidad comparision is even worse than the Tarver comparision, IMO.

 

Do YOU Think Calzaghe Hits HARDER than Trinidad???...

Do YOU Think Calzaghe COUNTERPUNCHES, Plays DEFENSE & PUNCHES as Hard as Tarver???...


REED:dunno:

 

jones looked old and flat against a C- level fighter in anthony handshaw. super-inactive tito can't do shit at 168 power or no power.

roy's legs will give in the later rounds when calzaghe unleashes his slap-attack.
