    maybe. heres the thing people don't get, roy jones is a hard puncher, but not against every fighter. for example, he happened to have landed a wicked hard perfectly placed body shot against virgil hill. does that mean that would happen in every fight? of course not, eric harding wasn't koed(fight got stopped because of his shoulder) ex. the point is if roy lands the right shot he is capable of stopping any figher 168-175. but it just depends if he gets to land that shot.

      I think he'll land some wicked uppercuts on Joe.

        He definetely could, I'm more worried about this Calzaghe fight than any other.

        It all depends how Jones starts he needs to get a foothold early or else he simply won't be allowed to get back into the fight. But Roy Jones still puts his punches together wonderfully when he wants to, if he gets into a grove lands consistanty, he can stop Joe.

          this is correct.

            heres some proof that roy is a hard puncher...after the prince badi fight in 06, badi was pissing blood for days due to roy's body shots. roy isn't really a one punch knockout guy, but he is a hard puncher.

              In answer to the question, no, Roy Jones at this point in his career has neither the power or ability to beat Joe Calzaghe, much less knock him out. In fact Roy will be lucky if he does not get kayoed. In fact I predict that Calzaghe will stop Jones within the distance, and then go on to be clobbered by Pavlick in a one sided affair.

                      I don't see how Pavlik could ever clobber Calzaghe in a one sided affair. I wish Calzaghe was fighting Pavlik instead of Jones, I'd be far more confident.
