So JC still hits so hard that he breaks his hand in training. He has enough time until late autumn for that to heal up properly, and then Jones Junior will learn what it feels like to be hit by the best in the last 16 years. JC is far too fast. JC by a knockout in about round 7.

Can't see JC stopping or knocking out RJJ but he will definately win the fight as he will be too fast for Joneswinkeye

This fight is as silly as the proposed Tyson Vs Holyfield Rematch.

One shot true legend vs A phony who backtracks on his word to take $$$$.

Hopefully Jones will knock him out cold and clean but regardless of who wins we all know Calzaghe is NOT a legend and never will be.

Its just like me fighting Muhammad Ali today - Id win - but everyone would know that I wasnt fighting him at his very best.

I hope RJJ knocks out Joe bad, this guy is a joke he just keeps running I thought Hopkins was bad now Jones, Joe you will never ever get the respect as you purely dont deserve it.

RJJ to win any way.Joe seems to be deluded to the point that he thinks of himself as a great. To be a great you fight the best when they are at their best. A prime BHOP or RJJ would destroy him, no question. History will show Joe to be a competent fighter with a padded record and a few great victories, nothing more

Then who is a great???? cos I reckon name whoever and someone on here will expose some dodgy padding in his record. Joe is a great, stayed dedicated and hungry to accomplish this record I for one blame American TV seems to me how a champ is around so long and gets so little exposure because of the belt and where he fights gives nothing to the average American boxing fan.

What a sad boxer Calzaghe is. Beat an overhyped Jeff Lacy, an over-the-hill fighter in Hopkins (despite suffering a convincing knock-down and at the same time being taught a boxing lesson by the 41 year old) and now is fighting against Roy Jones who is not even on the map as far as boxing's elite is concerned. The only respectful result on his CV was against Chris Eubanks, I will give him that. However, he will never be considered a boxing great by fighting chumps in his homeland and by dodging more bullets than Neo. Fight Kelly Pavlik or Jermaine Taylor and then I will shut my mouth. Roy Jones Jr. hahaha- pleaaaazzzzzzzzzze

I'm waiting for Kelly/Jermaine/Bernard to leave their safety blankets behind and fight away from home, Overhyped Jeff Lacy has, Jones has, and strangely so has JC. But then again JT had his chance and oops Ouma, Spinks and his nice tidy display against Kelly at his desired weight just proved what a boring fighter he is, shouldnt even be on Joe's radar.
