    he does punch straighter than Calzaghe though and has the ability to ark his punches to land them their is a difference

    Calzaghe seems incapable of shortening his punches period

                Because Roy would have still had his legs, his athleticism, his ego and would not yet have been knocked out twice.

                No way in hell does Calzaghe beat a prime Jones. No way. He's just not on the level of Hopkins and RJJ. They both put him on his ass and lost on workrate.

                    He was way more shot than I thought.

                    I was wrong....not in under-estimating Calzaghe, but deluding myself into thinking RJJ had something left.

                    Next.

                      He was supposed to lose, according to the polls. i'd say 70% picked zaghe to win, the rest were just Jones fans with hope of a comeback. jones was finnished long ago and Calzaghe just proved it and looked like a jackass in the process trying to showboat.

                      Tarver Beat jones worse than Calzaghe did, I guess Tarver beats on a Prime Jones also.
