    Roy Jones vs. Joe Calzaghe - What weight?

    Which weight do you guys think that the fight should be fought at?

    At 168, it would be for the undisputed super middleweight titles, and if Roy could win that fight, it would cap off his career in a way that nobody would ahve ever seen coming: Winning titles at 160, 168, becoming the UNDISPUTED champion at 175, moving all the way up to Heavyweight and winning a title, moving BACK down to 175 and regaining the title there, AND THEN moving all the way back down to 168 to beat one of the top P4P fighters in the world at 39 years old, and becoming the undisputed champion at 168. Wow...

    I vote for 168, both guys would have relative trouble making the weight I think, so the "boil down" factor wouldn't be an issue, I just think the bout has more significance at 168.

    Joe seems faster at 168, though we only saw one fight by him at 175 so far and considering it was against an extremely difficult opponent to look good against, it's hard to tell.

              The Hopkins fight is no real judge of Calzaghe at 175. I think it'll be above 168 although having at SMW for all the belts would be a massive occasion.

                This fight should be at 175, the current best weight for both fighters. No doubt about it.

                    168 so Calzaghe can break Sven Ottke's pathetic 21 defences record.
