Joe Calzaghe v Roy Jones Jr - Highlights Of Best Parts

Joe Calzaghe and Roy Jones Jr both made the weight ahead of Saturday's fight in New York.

Calzaghe, 36, and Jones Jr, 39, both stripped to their underwear to creep under the 175lb limit, tipping the scales at 174½lb at Friday's weigh-in.

The fight at Madison Square Garden is being seen as a clash for the de facto world light-heavyweight crown.

Jones is a former four-weight world champion, while Calzaghe is unbeaten in 45 professional fights.

"I'm excited," said Calzaghe.

"It's going to be a great fight, Madison Square Garden is a great place and you're going to see one awesome show tomorrow and (I will be) still undefeated, 46 and 0."

Jones countered: "This is going to be the best fight this year - cheer your man on but Roy Jones is back."

But Calzaghe's father and trainer Enzo insists Jones' recent inactivity will put him at a big disadvantage and even questioned the American's heart ahead of the fight.

Jones shook his head when Calzaghe promised he'd still be undefeated on Sunday morning, but he didn't look entirely convincing

"When things get hard and his heart is searched and mind questioned, will he come up short? Against Joe, he will," said Calzaghe Sr.

"You can climb Mount Everest 10 times, you can lift 150,000 kilos of weight but three years out of the ring at the wrong time of his career wasn't particularly beneficial.

"You can't put that engine back in there, it can only disappear from you. So when that engine needs to be revved, is it there? So far I've seen nothing there.

"Jones had it his own way for too long, and when he found someone who wanted to knock him out, he came up short."

Calzaghe Sr, who has been in his son's corner for all of his 45 unbeaten professional fights, was referring to Jones' losses to Antonio Tarver [twice] and Glen Johnson between 2004 and 2005.

However, Jones' trainer of 16 years, Alton Merkerson claimed there were valid reasons for those losses, the main one being his charge's rapid weight loss following his defeat of John Ruiz for the WBA heavyweight crown.

"What Roy did has never been done, going up from light-heavyweight to win the heavyweight crown before coming back down to claim the light-heavyweight crown again [Jones claimed the WBC light-heavyweight crown from Tarver before his run of three successive defeats]," said Merkerson.

"He put on 18-20lb of muscle and shortly after he beat Ruiz we started negotiating with Mike Tyson, but he wasn't ready to fight Roy.

"So he was pressured into boxing Antonio Tarver by the boxing world and [television channel] HBO. The date was locked in and Tarver's name came up.

Calzaghe motivated by unbeaten record
"It was complicated coming back down to 175lb and his mental frame of mind was messed up. He wasn't mentally or physically prepared and he didn't look very good.

"But he's right back to where he used to be. He's comfortable at 175lb, and I see in Roy now what I saw in him 12 years ago.

"It takes more of a man after being knocked out and continuing to march. I don't see him struggling with Calzaghe's speed. Some people can drive with windscreen wipers going, some people can't. So those punches won't bother Roy."

Merkerson, who was also in Jones' corner when the Florida native won a silver medal at the 1988 Olympics, added that the underdog status suits his man.

"Roy has nothing to prove, he's already made history," said Merkerson.


606: DEBATE
What do you reckon Jones' chances are? And, win or lose, what will this fight mean for Joe Calzaghe?

BBC Sport's Richard Irvine-Brown
"But Calzaghe has a lot of pressure on him. He has a record of 45-0 and wants it to be 46-0. Everyone's saying Roy's the underdog, that Joe should beat him and that Joe's on top of his game and Roy's not.

"When Roy's the underdog, that's when he fights at his best. He was a 4-1 underdog against James Toney [when he took Toney's IBF super-middleweight title in 1994] and he made him look like an amateur.

I really despair at the negative comments calzaghe gets on the net. anyone who has boxed before will recognise the sacrifices and skill required to do what he did. to all the ctitics out there, how many professional bouts have you had and how many world title fights? and could you beaat him if you were up against him. didn't think so. nuff said. now the torch has been passed on to Clev, watch him go next.

[MrJuancastrotorres]

Not impressed. Big fish in a small pond. Oh yea, fighting washed up old greats doesn't secure legacy. Feeling sorry for the Brits lying to themselves right now...

[BiggieSmalls11111]

@ninjanbounti naw he wouldnt hes a coward just like anybody on youtube. youtube is actually the one place white people are comfortable on because they know they say virtually anything to someone and not risk a major beat down...as much as they call blacks niggers and animals and monkeys and shit like that...they fear us because of it...hahah so ironic i know...but they have the nerve to drop shit like nigger but are offended when groups of blacks jump a white guy....I WONDER WHY!!!!! LOL

[ztme07]

lol living legend GTFO

[JoeCalzagheTheCoward]

@MrMonkeysurferJoe Calzaghe was a great champion, he takes a lot of critiscism but if you ever had to pick a fighter you could rely on to grind out a scorecard victory over a taxi driver, you'd have to pick Joe Calzaghe. In fact, if the taxi driver was in his 40's and the fight was in Wales, I would bet my house on it, he was a legend!
