Met Danny in Biloxi, MS when I went to see them fight last month. He was a super good guy and I was very impressed with how he carries himself and the company he keeps. I wish him well. However, in this fight I see Jones most likely winning by a UD. While Danny is a very good technician, he lacks in...

My initial thought was that Pavlik is way too big and too strong for Pacman to deal with but apon thinking about it for a while, it could be manageable for Manny. Maybe in a year or so of carrying more weight and would be able to take a harder shot and deliver one as well. I kinda feel like Pac woul...

Well Jones moved through 46 lbs in his career. 154-200 Pacquaio started at light flyweight which is 106 and middleweight is 160 which is 54 lbs. Roy Just about pulled it off against a very poor heavyweight champion, who was picked for his sloth and low punch output, as well as his poor technique, a...

Good point, I wish Enzo would answer that one on here....

he obliterated delaney impressively.but if he was a banger he'd of stopped jones,hit him enough times. This is evidence right there that Calzaghe lacks 'real KO power' and Jones is nowhere close to his prime self. Jones, prior to heavyweight would have circled off the ropes and threw blinding combi...

Joe would stand with them at least - constant motion and he wasn't scared of taking a shot. He threw light shots because his hands were shafted, not because he didn't want to. Yes joe never ran from anyone and after watching the lacey fight many times even though joes hands were shot in that fight ...

I'd place Kotelnik somewhere closer to Richie Woodhall.

Not comparing their ability, just their respective primes.

ADMITTEDLY, I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE USED EUBANK......

Since that was their first real step up and title shots.

I was in the gym with JC around the time he was British champ, and I can confirm he hits like a horse, if you look at his early record you can see it, but after the extent of his hand problems he had to lighten up and stick to his boxing Well , it's funny how he stopped knocking out guys as soon as...

Well at least Kahn was willing to step up and face Kotelnik when he is still in his prime instead of waiting 5 years after Jones was at his peak.

No way did Calzaghe fight like Khan. Look at Calzaghe's early record, he was mashing people up, he was nowhere near as circumspect as Khan, to compare the two is ridiculous. Yea, but Joe fought nobody on Kotelnik's level until a good ways into his career.(Eubank) Kahn has to be given credit for fac...

Calzaghe's chin? lol? He got floored in the first round by an old man and a shot to bits RJJ. Hopkins has the best chin of the lot. Calzaghe has been down 3 times by good shots and recovered rather instantly. He's got a world class chin. No way he retires 46-0 without one. Also: Hopkins doesn't get...

Judah might well be faded but he still has plenty enough speed and boxing smarts which should make it a very comfortable win against Matthew Hatton. He'd still give Ricky nightmares, never mind Matthew. Yeah I'd fancy Judah to take Hatton the elder out cold Pacman style but even more vicious. Alway...

Surely Calzaghe was in his prime when he fought Jones. He seemed as confident as I have ever seen him. That's what people don't realize. A fighters prime is not always based solely on their age. Jones was a world champ 4 years before Joe held a title, a pro 8 years, has way more fights against top ...

Roy Jones Jr is the US version of Nas. Never beat anyone worth talking about. Calzaghe would have demolished him, Calzaghe was no spring chicken when he faught Jones, people talk like Calzaghe was in his prime when he took his last ever fight against Jones. You have to be on a wind-up. Jones, when ...

Of course he'd get credit. I'd consider it upset of the year by a country mile. I always wondered how long a country mile was in contrast to say........a regular mile....jk. I say it would be a pretty big upset as well, but the telling factor will be whether or not Judah has as much left in the tan...

all i said was 'do you hold rjj win over hopkins in high esteem' i never mentioned calzaghe, i don't think rjj win was as impressive as a win would have been in 2000,2001,2002, i dont think hopkins was in his prime in 1993. would you hold hopkins beating rjj now in as high of esteem? Sure I hold th...

Based on history, any win over Bernard is a stellar one. Nobody beat him in his prime years excepy Jones. In fact, that's the only loss in B-hops career he fess's up to. By your theory everyone should just ignore Calzaghe's win over him even more. Hopkins was 43 at the time for crying out loud. See...

Interesting point:

Does Hatton get credit if he beats Judah at this stage? Or will the masses say Judah was just there for the taking or he was shot?

I'm refering to Matt Hatton this time......

do you really hold his win over bernard hopkins in high esteem? Do you not ? Based on history, any win over Bernard is a stellar one. Nobody beat him in his prime years excepy Jones. In fact, that's the only loss in B-hops career he fess's up to. By your theory everyone should just ignore Calzaghe'...

Hatton had the greater career (not that it's necessarily over yet). Even a faded KT is a better win on his record than any of Cal's victories. Kessler is, undoubtedly, the best victory JC can claim, but even he is largely unproven at top level. If the 2008 version of Jones could deck - and hurt - C...

Thats okay, I'll still be watching and will be interested. It's not every day that a brother gets a chance to step out of his superstar siblings shadow against a former world beater. Maybe he can give Zab a tough fight and we will be able to rate how much Zab has left. Making no mistakes about it th...

I think Judah will do an absolute job on him. Fair play to Mathew Hatton though -did'nt need to take this fight, and what an opportunity -to box a top fighter on a mega show.Got to be happy with that. Yeap, gotta give him credit for striving to be better. The Hatton's got allot of balls and heart. ...
