    Any version of Calzaghe would have never lost to Tarver, and Johnson, especially by KO.

    He should have retired long long ago.

    Damn right.

    but if a shadow of the shadow of his former self can knockdown Joe in the first round.

    He's not a shadow of a shadow. He still has power and speed, but his age, KO losses, and long career have caught up with him. I would say he is 60% of what he was. Anything lower is just an exaggeration. Jones was never a god.

    IMO, Prime v Prime, only difference would be Joe would stay down.

    Calzaghe didn't even take the fight with Jones seriously. If he was fighting a prime Jones, he would have fought a better fight. He fought with his hands at his waist the whole fight, while Jones spent most of it in a shell.

    As with Prime Hopkins, he would probably keep Joe down in the 1st aswell.

    Joe was never in the same class as Prime Hopkins/RJJ.

    An out of prime Joe, beat an out of prime Hopkins. An in prime Joe, does the same against an in prime Hopkins.
    Joe isn't no joke.

        about 46 fights, 41 nobodies, bums and cab drivers, 3 old men, 1 horrendously overrated and 1 in his prime.

              Calzaghe would have retired after his first loss To RJJ.


              Then his dad would be cleaning **** out of toilets; something he would be doing had his son not been a pro boxer.

                Is it true that Calzaghe is trying to get the best LH ever Michael Spinks out of retirement?

                The Pensioner-killer sorry, Lenged-killer is not finished yet.

                wow, i dont know about this guys, Calzaghe is out of his prime, his hands are weak, and he is facing a LH Legend who is arguably in his prime, but i think Joe can adapt
