How would Calzaghe do against 1993 Roy Jones?

[MANGLER]

Hasn't there been a thread like this before??

Meh.... maybe it's just me.

4 sho. Roy is old and he lost. It sucks but it's over wit. We need to let it go already.

92-94 RJJ went 10 rounds with the mighty Jorge Fernando Castro, 8 rounds with the awesome Glenn Thomas, 6 rounds with the phenomenal Thulani Malinga, 10 with the superhuman Fermin Chirino (who both Steve Collins and Nigel Benn had knocked out well inside the distance) and 6 with the myth, the legend that is Danny Garcia.

Are we to believe that he would beat Calzaghe faster than he beat all of these guys?

Have a word.

bull****. you cant make that kind of prediction against an accomplished fighter like calzaghe who has never been ko'd or even looked seriously dazed from a knockdown.

but i think rjj would have knocked calzaghe out in the 11th/12th rounds.

Sure I can, wheter its right is the question.

a pre-prime Roy was no one to be fuct with...too much of everything in one fighter.

Don't forget to mention Jones' glass jaw. Too much of that too. Just takes one little zipper to cause a chicken dance.

If your talking about a focused and determined Roy like we saw against Montell Griffin, he would stop Joe early.
If he underestimated Calzaghe, we could see a good matchup.

too bad calzaghe would never be able to exploit that

If you know boxing, you know that is not how it works.
E****ially with a fighter like Roy, who often did minimal training for fights where he expected himself to win. I am assuming this prime Roy is the best I have ever seen him, in perfect fighting shape and the proper mindset, something he often lacked.

Nobody who truly knows boxing would predict that Roy Jones would knock Calzaghe out early. Calzaghe has NEVER been knocked out, never been seriously hurt, never looked like getting stopped. All of Jones' best victories have come in points decisions or late stoppages. He's beaten a few decent contenders early. But he's never taken anyone anywhere near Calzaghe's league out early. The closest is Clinton Woods in 6 rounds and frankly if anyone thinks that Clinton is in the same league as Calzaghe, they've got a lot to learn.

but you realise calzaghe has no defense, rjj was ast a heck, and clazaghe(if not stopped all together) would lose the fight to a UD with around 3 KD's in roys favour
