Calzaghe had great work rate and so did jones. But i think joe would take a close decision. Calzaghe had his head screwed on better than jones because look how calzaghe turned out undefeated and one of the best ever and Jones just crumbled after his fight with tarver. Calzaghe over Jones at any time.
I don't think so, Calzaghes always had a good chin. I think the winner would be by decision. And even though Calzaghe was put on his ass by BHOP and Roy, they didn't land alot after putting Calzaghe on his ass. So Calzaghe can't be too hittable. Calzaghe is constantly moving, he is never really stationary much at all. I think in the 1rst round when he was dropped by both was more nerves then anything.
Also Roy hit Calzaghe with his forearm and knocked Calzaghe down. That wasn't a legit knockdown. I'm pretty sure your glove is suppose to hit your opponent to knock them down, not your forearm.
Jones Jr used steroids to cut off weight. That was when he moved up, so he was clean during his Super Middleweight days. He wouldn't have finished Calzaghe in the first round, but he definitely would have won. Joe ducked a prime RJJ for a reason.
prime roy was probably unbeatable. Calzaghe really isnt that skilled in comparison to other great fighters. You can't even describe his style, i think he is rather lucky. So Roy would surely win by i dont think in the first round. maybe a later stoppage via cut, or towel.
joe didnt look too hurt from that knockdown. . . he would have made it passed the first round. hes been down before and survived.
i think a prime joe vs a prime rjj would still be a competitive fight. joe has good speed and an amazing work rate. would be fairly competitive but a clear cut victory for rjj.
