If he does quit, i think he will go down as the best British boxer ever.

Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: Karabiner on November 09, 2008, 10:03:04 AM Hopkins rematch is the only money fight left for him now.

Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: 77dave on November 09, 2008, 10:35:57 AM Its not a good fight for Joe, but it is the only big money fight out there
Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: Maxriddles on November 09, 2008, 11:25:01 AM FML, stayed up for this while playing drunken sit n goes on stars to try to stay awake only to fall asleep as they were making there way to the ring.
Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: DaveShoelace on November 09, 2008, 12:33:31 PM Joe was awesome, possibly his best performance given who he was in the ring with. There is no good fight out there for him now, Hopkins is indeed a spoiler and on a high now, Chad Dawson and Carl Froch would both be no money hiding to nothings. Kelly Pavlik would be the best fight for him now, but still less lucrative and career defining than it would have been prior to his loss to Hopkins.
He should retire, even though he was so amazing last night he probably has two good fights left in him. Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: kinboshi on November 09, 2008, 12:47:49 PM Awesome performance. Looked a bit ominous when he was dropped in the first, but fantastic performance from then on. Has to be the best British boxer of all time (he's English did you know?) and there really aren't any fights out there for him now that will add to his legacy (but they might add to his bank balance), so he should retire at the top.

Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: mondatoo on November 09, 2008, 01:16:12 PM Excellent performance from Joe.How did the ref not stop it though he couldnt even see,joe may as well retire as there is nobody for him to fight now and he don't need the money so stop now imo
Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: Maxriddles on November 09, 2008, 01:46:25 PM Seen the re-run on Setanta.
Excellent performance and should be the perfect close to a great career with a perfect record intact. Hope he retires, he has nothing to prove. Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: scotty2hatty on November 09, 2008, 04:02:10 PM lol @ Richie Woodhall's card - randomly giving rounds to Jones.

He did also lose that killer instinct after the Watson tradegy. Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: kinboshi on November 11, 2008, 02:37:27 PM Awesome performance.

Possibly. He then lost to Calzaghe, again would he have beat Calzaghe at his peak? We simply don't know - Calzaghe wasn't at his peak then either. Then Eubank fought Carl Thompson twice at Cruiserweight - and Thompson was just too big and strong for him although Eubank did put up a great fight. Eubank is one of Britain's best ever boxers - definitely. But I wouldn't say he was the best. Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: bolt pp on November 11, 2008, 04:43:23 PM Awesome performance.

Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: The Baron on November 11, 2008, 07:36:32 PM I think I'd agree about Eubank. Was very, very good when he had that killer instinct.
I think Calzaghe said that Eubank was his toughest fight ever a couple of years back. (I dont know if that would hold true today after Hopkins) And that was definately a past his best Eubank, but as Kin says Calzaghe got way better than that as well so very tough to call. Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: Scottish Dave on November 11, 2008, 11:48:47 PM Joe was awesome, possibly his best performance given who he was in the ring with. Personally i think Jones was far to old for this fight, if it was 4 years ago, jones would have won it. I know ill get shot down for this, but Calzaghe is highly over rated in my opinion.

Personally i think Jones was far to old for this fight, if it was 4 years ago, jones would have won it. I know ill get shot down for this, but Calzaghe is highly over rated in my opinion. Absolutely no way is Calzaghe overrated. He threw more punches than double any other fighter has in a fight against RJJ. He goes for 12 rounds solid. How many other boxers do that??? Especially at Super middleweight/light heavyweight! Great fighter. I dont think he would have beaten RJJ in his prime, as RJJ in his prime was one of the greatest ever (top 10) Calzaghe will be an all time great, maybe top 20 ... Title: Re: Calzaghe v Jones Post by: kinboshi on November 12, 2008, 09:40:37 AM Joe was awesome, possibly his best performance given who he was in the ring with. Personally i think Jones was far to old for this fight, if it was 4 years ago, jones would have won it. I know ill get shot down for this, but Calzaghe is highly over rated in my opinion. 4 years ago Jones was losing to Tarver and Johnson. There's nothing to suggest that he'd have faired any better to Calzaghe 4 years ago than he did at the weekend. Since 1997 Jones has only beaten a hand-full of fighters without the fight going to points. The ones he did beat with a stoppage were either ageing fighters or fighters that weren't exactly top world class (like Clinton Woods or Otis Grant). You have to go back well over ten years to see Jones at his peak. At that time, Calzaghe had only had three fights that lasted more than two rounds! So they weren't going to fight then. Calzaghe beat Eubank in 1997, and he's been on the ascendency ever since. That coincides with Jones' decline, and I truly believe that if Calzaghe had fought Jones at any time after 1997 he would have won.

He has hand picked his fights against boxers past their prime! just because he has beaten a washed up Roy Jones and Hopkins doesnt mean he is a great! I was impressed when he fought Jeff Lacy but to be fair to Jeff he didnt turn up that night as he was an animal. So what if Calzaghe throws 1 million punches! they are all arm slaps anyway, :P
