Another day, another athlete visit. Today, light heavyweights Joe Calzaghe (of Wales) and Roy Jones, Jr. (of Florida) dropped by our 34th Street offices to promote their upcoming fight at Madison Square Garden. The two men sat in our garage for about a half hour today and answered questions from our staff. They joked, talked about the (gasp!) respect they have for each other and were just damn interesting/funny/smart. I could have listened to them gab all day.

They talked about MMA (Calzaghe thinks there is room in the sports world for both boxing and MMA; Jones doesn’t see much difference between UFC and dog fighting), when it’s time to retire (Calzaghe says after this match, he’s fulfilled all his dreams; Jones says boxing is never about money—if it was, he says he’d fight de la Hoya instead of the “more masculine” Calzaghe—and he will take fights until it’s not in him anymore) and life after boxing (Calzaghe wants kids; Jones wants a personal masseuse and makeup artist to “take care of my beautiful face”). Like I said, I wish they’d drop by more often.
