I can mention power, speed, work rate ect.. but when i thing about each thing the excel at cancel each other out. So i'm not going to agrue the winning. It's a fight that you would of just had to wait a seen on fight night.
    Jones is faster stronger and hits harder than a Prime Joe Cal... That being said Cal is no slouch and would be a very good test for Roy. However, Roy in his prime lost a handful of ROUNDS let alone fights.

      Oh alright. That is why I am itching to see him face someone like Dawson a fighter who can match, or even surpass, his speed.

        the speed is debatable but cal workrate is higher.

        who would you say had the best defence?

            Hard to say, they both rarely went down during their prime. That one is a tough question.

              Jones would win this one by UD.

                yeh jones had the power but so did kessler but kessler didnt have the speed so it makes it intresting but joe can take a shot. But power isnt everything joe has a great ability to get out of the way when he wants too.

                  You could argue that Reid beat Calzaghe. Also, Byron Mitchell floored Calzaghe pretty bad. Mitchell ain't near the puncher that Jones is.
