Lol. No Im not an alt of robjr. I have just been a huge boxing fan for over 30 years. Roy Jones is or was one of the few boxers who could amaze me with his speed and skill.Ali and Ray Leonard were also 2 of my favorites. I still think Roy has enough left to decision Joe. Maybe not. But In his prime Roys speed and the ease of how he won every round was truly something to behold. Today, I just hope to see enough of the "old Roy" in spurts to still win. I think he still has enough left to get the job done.
Toney,Hopkins, Griffin, Virgil Hill,Vinnie Pazienza,John Ruiz,Mike Mccallum. You want me to go on? Yeah, thats real weak. Count the World champions on that list. And you were saying?
Pazienza hadn't beaten a decent fighter for years, John Ruiz is a bum and was a joke of a world champion, macallum was coming in off a loss to fabrice tiozzo, who was nothing special. Virgil hill has always been a decent fighter but not a great one.
btw, are you an alt of robjr?? it think so.

Again, I am asking , just who has Joe beat that is really any good?
Chris Eubank
Jeff Lacy
Robin Reid
Byron Mitchell
Mario Veit
Those were all pretty good wins in my book. Toney, hopkins and griffin aside, Roy Jones' resume is ridiculously weak.Just to clarify, i'm not in any way suggesting that calzaghe's resume is as good as roy's.
Roy, in his prime would absolutely MURDER Joe! Now that Roy is older, he would just pick Joe apart in an EASY, and I mean EASY decision.Roy on his slowest day is still twice as quick as Joe. Joe has never fought anyone of Jones calibur. Im not bashing him, but who the hell has Joe beat that is really any good? By the way, Yall musta forgot!
I'm sorry but this is rubbish, Jones has looked awful in his last four fights, if he fought the way he did against tarver/johnson against calzaghe he would be in for a hellacious beating.
Depending on how RJJ handles Hanshaw, I'd add him to the lsit of boxers able to beat calzaghe. Qutie Frankly he's the lightest Punching middleweight i've ever seen
why am I not the least bit shocked your from the UK ?
nah mate, im not one of those blinkered yank/uk fans. just that rjj is waaay past his prime and is a drugs cheat. calzaghe would batter him
prime rjj beats calzaghe
that is all

some have forgot.. good true post..
No one.
Hopkins to old and cautious, he'll get over run with punches.
taylor to cautious, shit defence, wont be able to deal with the amount of punches coming at him and the power of joe.
kessler to green with be taught a lesson and caught with hooks either side of his straight shots all night.
froch good strength but joe will make him pay for a crap defence and keep to much pressure on him and not allow froch to tee of with big right hands.
The only men i see having a chance are
winky even though he's small and couldnt hurt joe, he may be able to counter him whilst his defence allows him not to get hit by joes shots. Still say joe will beat him because of his higher workrate.
pavlik i have a feeling kelly could hurt joe with his shots and he wouldnt be fazed by joes shots. The only problem i see is that he's very green and joe whos a veteran will take advantage of this. Overal i think joe could beat everyone listed and proberly reign undefeated for the rest of his career and retire on top.
:boxing: Good post m8!!keep erm coming!:boxing:
