    Calzaghe maybe a little bit past his best but his performance 5-10 years were often worse than they are now, i don't see joe as way past his prime.

      Agreed 100%

        Calzaghe in his prime would have ko'd that Jones, he could actually sit on his punches back then. He was much faster and punched harder in the late 90's.

          Yeah he had more power but i don't see any difference in his hand speed, i really don't see him being much past his prime at all.

            Joe is way past his prime. The only reason people think he's in his prime is cuz he's at the top of the tree now! When he was in his mid to late twenties he was at his peak like all other fighters. He used to be known as a ****er, now he throws marsmallows.

              That cut you deep.
              I agree though, prime Joe was a knockout artist.
