    Agreed with Truthvito. I don't think he's overrated but people who say he would beat anyone in history is overrating him. His victories are still impressive even though some of the fighters he fought don't deserve to be in the same ring as him.

        Yeah, the fact he has a glass jaw as we found out lately and that he took steroids really puts me off him. I just think if he fought a puncher he would of been out of there earlier in his career.

          Be honest, how old are you? Your avatar suggests early teens, maybe pre-pubecent?

            I hope your not suggesting Calzaghe is a puncher?!

                      i think you should do some homework mate. before calzaghes hands started playing him up he was a very good puncher, and still punches hard enough to keep guys like kessler off him for 12 rounds.

                      the facts are that roy jones was a great talent. but he never faced elite competition, he failed drug tests (which is shameful), and he has been brutally knocked out twice which only adds to the speculation he was hiding a glass jaw all along hence he never fought top guys
