    It would be pointless making this fight because EVERYBODY knows RJJ is past it. Jones in his prime would destroy Calzaghe every day of the week, fighting him 10 years later is pointless and proves nothing. Joe needs to fight Hopkins/Taylor or Winky to really prove himself, And he needs to fight them in America.

      Yes this is Logical.

      Still think WHERE the fight happens would mean alot

      If JC beat RJJ in UK, the US wont care about JC and claim he overrated Backyard specialist

      If JC beats RJJ in the US, they would respect him i reckon.

      He's gotta go to the US to make it in my opinion, most boxers do.

        I guess this fight would've been okay if it was made instead of the Joe vs Manfredo one and for the same purposes (ie to make Joe a bigger American name). Its a bit pointless now.

          The main thing he needs to do is fight in the US. RJJ is my fav boxer but i think it would be best for Joe to fight Taylor in September

            only other guy joe can fight is froch, and rj is much better than him, in fact i think rj has the best chance in beating calzaghe.

              IMO Jones would beat Calzaghe, you guys have to remember styles make fights and Calzaghe's style is perfect for Jones, that slapping a few times and moving side by side wont work against Roy Jones, Roy is still quick and has power and has fought at light heavyweight and heavyweight. Although I dont think this fight would happen but if it does Roy wins a decision.

                Yeah, but are we talking about a prime Roy Jones here? cos Jones aint got the reflexes he once had, otherwise he wouldnt have got KTFO twice in a row

                  This is a safe fight for Jones since I don't think Calzaghe has the power to KO Jones, I give Jones a chance winning this fight but I think Calzaghe will win this fight by UD.

                    The more ignorance I hear about Jones being the favourite in this fight (which, if its a general consensus on a boxing forum CERTAINLY will be amongst the general US public), the more I'd like to see Calzaghe take him on in July if he cant get the likes of Kessler, Taylor, Hopkins or Wright until the winter or 2008.
