If I was Roy I'd just take like 30-70 and shut up...

    ^ I know that, but like kayjay said, this fight would redeem the end of his career. It would enhance his legacy if he could win it.

      He don't need no legacy, he's got it all locked up.

      He's beaten fighters who were better than Joe Calzaghe is (Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Mike McCallum). He's unified divisions at 30, not 35. He's streets ahead of Calzaghe. He's a four-weight world champion, not a one-weight world champion (Calzaghe-Hopkins wasn't for a sanctioned belt). **** legacy ****. He's 40, and his best assest was reflexes. **** legacy ****, man. He's streets

        40-60 I whoop yo ass. 30-70 is a little too drastic. Jones still has a name even if he's not the same fighter.

          Joe Calzaghe would be his career best win if he pulls it off, this reminds me of Foreman - Ali to some extent, especially as Roy has now adopted the Rope a dope tactic.

            ^^Yeah I agree 30-70 was going a little too far on my part.

              You're pretty worried that he might get beat, huh?

              How would you cope? We both know that Jones is past his prime...but Tyson was past his best when he faced Leiws and that didnt stop people claiming that Lewis scored a legitimate victory over Tyson and that his legacy shall be remembered for the better because of it.

              This is hard for you.

                If he gets knocked out by Calzaghe, who is rated as a *****-patter pitter, then legacy is ****ered.
                He is? Because he wasn't until before the Hopkins fight. Which he won.

                    There was no 'p4p list' back then, but it was pretty obvious after his performance against Barkley that Toney was the best fighter in the world

                      Well just for the fact Calzaghe holds as many belts as he does and the amount of title defences he has, I'd have to go against you there.
