Who has a better chance of beating Calzaghe ,Hopkins or RJJ ?
I think Hopkins has a better chance based on the fact he is able to avoid engaging people & still score & he is more durable ,Hopkins knows how to fight Southpaws aswell
Roy cannot fight going backwards anymore his reflexes are'nt there to do that if he fights going backwards he will get caught & hurt ,his only way to win would be to do what he did against Tito meet Calzghe in the centre of the ring & take it to him,unfortunately for Roy Calzaghe is as good backing up as he is going foward possibly better
i would have to say hopkins only because off his record vs southpaws the way hopkins can change styles and rele piss off his opponent,but calzaghe ant no ordinary southpaw his is far to active for 4 punches a round hopkins so i would say jones nor hopkins can beat calzaghe but hopkins has the best chance

You are wrong EXCLAMATION POINT.
Joe is too active for both.
The bolded is just bollocks. The nature of sport is to test your ability. Ricky Hatton thought he could beat Mayweather....etc etc etc
Hopkins is far too inactive too beat Calzaghe at 43 years of age. It would have been a good fight 10 years ago, but seriously, he can try and spoil the fight, throw headbutts and elbows but I dont see him winning.
Roy Jones has the best chance to beat him by Knocking Calzaghe out, but its hard to tell how much RJJ has left when he fights welterweights.
I still see Calzaghe winning both bouts, but Jones jnr could beat him with speed and power, Hopkins doesn`t have the tools. None of them old man tricks he uses against novices will wash against zaghe.
WTF yeah cause Roy hits like Julian Jackson & Zag has a china chin
the records reflect this aswell eh :ugh:

You made me play the Reid card because you all were hating on Jones.
I'm a fan, but that doesn't mean I have to back him every time he fight. Jones will beat him with ease, that's just what I think.
The only two boxers I would back in every fight would be Juan Manuel Marquez and James Toney. :D
Hating on Jones :ugh:
no i was'nt hating on Roy at all u just dont like Zag & u can see it a mile off when u read your posts ,u played the Reid card cause u wanted to take a cheap shot at Zag cause u are a hater of him nothing to do with me hating on Roy
where in this thread have i hated on Roy & cheap shotted him like u have Zag ,i have'nt :nonono:
If Robin Reid can beat Calzaghe, I'm sure the "fighter of the decade" can too.
That's right I played the Reid card. :D
He is... or is this his twin who is fighting for him now? :D
He looked shit against Bika too and againts Manfredo, Jr. he slapped to TKO victory. The Kessler fight was close too, but he deserved the win. Calzaghe has only KOed (real KO) 2 boxers, which just shows he hasn't got knock out power. Jones has the power, speed, skill and experience. I see no other result other than a Jones win.
I said Calzaghe would beat Lacy when nobody else did, I'm a big fan.
Big Fan LOL who needs enemies
your previous posts kinda contradict that dont u think
I would say B-Hop has the better chance of winning. He like Jones though has played it safe his last few fights and not taking many risks. I think for either to beat Joe they are going to have to take bigger risks than they have in their last few fights. As Joe's workrate is pretty consistent for 12 rounds. Bernard has found ways to win of late, so I think he could find someway to win better than Jones could.

Bika was a very awkward customer, using his head alot, and calzaghe was trying to show off for the american audience
as for the manfredo fight, how can you look good if your fighting somebody who isnt fighting back?

u are obviously no Calzaghe fan
if u think Roy beats Calzaghe then that is upto u ,all i wil say is u are in a minority of people who think he would for a reason
If the fight is sighned ill take every last point u have
I saw no evidence of that in his last 3 fights. :rolleyes:
Jones needs to adapt his style for me to think differently. He fights Calzaghe like he fought Hanshaw and Tito, he loses.
If Robin Reid can beat Calzaghe, I'm sure the "fighter of the decade" can too.
That's right I played the Reid card. :D
1st Reid did'nt beat Calzaghe
Calzaghe is miles better now than the Calzaghe Reid fought
