I hope we see an early ko victory for both the brits.


But something tells me hatton might lose a close dec, and calzaghe might get stopped.

Hope i am wrong.

I hope you are right

hatton ko round 6-7.
jones ko late.

if calzaghe gets stopped it'll be early when he's still cold...once calzaghe warms up and starts flowing he's a machine

^^ gotta agree. can't see RJJ stopping him late. Joe has proven resillience. RJJ will have to be at his quickest bestest to catch Joe.

Jones is 100 years from anywhere near his best so Calzaghe should beat him. And it'll mean absolutely nothing. In their primes Jones either KO's or easy UD Calzaghe

Malignaggi -v- Hatton will be interesting. I think Roy might find Calzaghe difficult.

hatton to win .if he doesnt he needs to retire.

calzaghe to win(tho i hope he gets KOd).jones just too old,nervous of getting kod himself and dont think he has the power left to ko calzaghe.hope i am wrong though. calzaghe is a good fighter IMO but his career leaves me feeling very empty as a boxing fan.

I know what you mean with that last bit but blame allegedly...joe should have left warren earlier. Everyone knew joe was overprotected by warren.
joe found out too late.

The bad thing is i remember 10 years ago watching Calzaghe fight, I cant remember who he was fighting but i said to my brother this bloke is absolutly awesome he should be fighting against RJJ and Toney. It took him 10 years to get the brains to leave Warren and he has dented his legacy because of it.

Unless Calzaghe had been living on another planet he must have been fully aware of what was happening

Im picking Calzaghe over jones - SD.

And Malignaggi over hatton - SD.

Malignaggi will be robbed and Roy will catch Joe on the way in and win by devastating KO setting up the rematch with Hop

I agree if it goes to the score cards, Im still hoping he dont get robbed.

I think Malignaggi will land plenty of leather on Hatton but probably doesn't have the pop to stop him so a robbery certainly isn't out of the question...

His legacy consists of fighting chumps and waiting for good fighters to get old... no where near HOF IMO...

don't bring out the "he has been champion" card, unless you are prepared to play it for Mundine as well. It took Cal' years to fight outside of the UK. He has proved himself but it is not a totally invalid comparison.
