Hurt him? Of course. Stop him? Unlikely.
The one and only time Calzaghe ever got caught truly flush was against Byron Michell. Mitchell was a ****er and he caught Joe right on the chin, describing the punch later as "the hardest he had ever hit another human being". Calzaghe was floored and dazed. Calzaghe was on one knee by six, but visibly wobbling, by eight he was on his feet ready to fight. Then he stopped Mitchell.
If Jones is to seriously hurt Calzaghe, he will have to catch him at least with a punch like that. To stop him, he will probably have to do so more than once, unless Calzaghe's chin has deteriorated with age, which is possible. Otherwise, yes, in all likelihood Calzaghe will walk through Roy's best shots.
