Would there be much of a difference between their resumes if Calzaghe beats Hopkins convincingly in Vegas?
Joe Calzaghe top wins:
Bernard Hopkins
Chris Eubank
Mikkel Kessler
Jeff Lacy
Robin Reid
Roy Jones Jr top wins:
Bernard Hopkins
James Toney
John Ruiz
Antonio Tarver
Virgil Hill
Roy Jones has more solid opponents overall but Calzaghe's top 5 vs Jones' top 5 is pretty similar and Calzaghe hasn't lost unlike Jones.
If Calzaghe beats Hopkins AND whoever he may fight after (Taylor?) it's a good claim that his resume is equal to Jones'.
Roy Jones has wins over 17 world champions on his resume. Calzaghe has 7.
Roy Jones has wins over 7 multi-weight division champions. Calzaghe has 1.
Roy Jones won titles in 4 weight classes. Calzaghe won titles in 1.
Roy Jones was the best fighter on the planet for nearly 10 years. Calzaghe has never been the best fighter on the planet.
Roy Jones holds wins over several p4p and hall-of-fame fighters. Calzaghe holds 1 win over a hall-of-fame fighter.
How can you argue with that? Lets be sensible.
Why did you find the need to call him a moron? moron.
becuz of obvious lack of knowledge.. him going strictly on the fact that Roy made them look like nobody..
Jones was a great fighter. At the moment his resume is better than Calzaghe. If Calzaghe defeats Hopkins and then Pavlik or Taylor, then Calzaghe has to be one of the best SMW of all time and would be considered in my eyes to have a better resume than Jones.
Jones could have been an all time great, but those 8 years at light heavyweight fighting nobodies has hurt him.
nobodies?? check the resume again moron..

Thank you. I tell you some of these damn ignorant fans are so repulsive. Fuckin boxrec.com freaks think they know everything by looking up somebody's record.
Roy Jones is one of the p4p all-time greats and Joe is not. Jones is a 4-divison champion including a heavyweight champ and Joe is not.
Let Joe move up and fight the weakest heavyweight champion right now and see how he does then we can talk about it.
