Sure Jones looked like superman against the tomato cans he fought, any fight against a PRIME Calzaghe and PRIME Jones would have gone the distance.
    Lou Del Valle was far from a bum.

                  well, Roy had his flaws like any other fighter. but very few fighters had the ability to take advantage of them in his prime. the only two off the top of my head are probebly Eric Harding and Montell Griffin 1 who gave him problems early on. ridiculously fast.

                  I think Michael Spinks would have beaten him.
