Big bout will disappoint

The Joe Calzaghe vs. Roy Jones Jr. Light Heavyweight bout scheduled for Sept. 20 at Madison Square Garden will draw plenty of interest and bring both fighters a huge pay day.

One problem. The fight takes place 10 years too late.

 

Jones Jr., who was the most dynamic fighter of his era, is well past his prime.

 

Calzaghe, who after years of shying away from fighting America's best is on a career-ending tour of fighting over-the-hill champions.

 

Calzaghe defeated Bernard Hopkins by decision in a less-than-exciting bout in April.

 

Expect the same result come September vs. Jones Jr.
