    Joe Calzaghe is better than the version of Roy that Bernard fought. Itty bitty green Roy Jones Jr. would have gotten his ass kicked by the Joe Calzaghe that is fighting April 19th.

      Jones easily. I don't understand why people act as if Calzaghe is a god among men.

        It's hard to say. De La Hoya and Tito p4p can be compared, but I'd probably lean toward Calzaghe. It's tough. De La Hoya and Tito definitely fought better competition than Calzaghe.

          And Bernard Hopkins is about 10x as good as anybody that Calzaghe has ever fought.

          If your comparing the levels of opposition, Hopkins has fought the faaaaar great competition, even though it isnt that strong.

            Yeah he is.

            I think both men are fighting thier best opponent to date in this fight. As Dwiens said, Roy was green in that fight.

              It's an absolute joke to think that the Roy Jones after like 20 fights would beat the Joe Calzaghe who had 44 fights. Calzaghe is EASILY better than that version of Jones.

                Yeah.. Looking at boxrec now and that appears to be his first 12 round fight. It would be ****** to suggest Calzaghe couldn't handle him then.
