Hopkins thinks Joe was a harder fighter

[Pullcounter]

Not really he was 39 when he fought Calzaghe, and was already brutal ko,d twice, by fighters calzaghe is better than, and calzaghe couldn't knock roy out, but there is alot of roy fans out there, and they go overboard sometimes, but I think this fight is 50 50 who wins in there prime, roy could of been considered the greatest fighter of alltime if he kept winning, joe will still always be underrated by us americans.

rjj takes it in their primes

The fight would not be the white wash many people think, but id still expect Jones to win and id make it a 65/35 in favour of Jones.

The fight you saw between Jones and Calzaghe is very a different fight to the one Joe would of had to of fought against Jones in his prime.

Agreed. i think Jones would win a tight decision against Joe prime for prime. would be some tough rounds.

Yes

Jones had fights where the rounds were tight with lesser Southpaw fighters than Calzaghe. Calzaghe would of probably have gotten outspeeded, but it is definitely not a foregone conclusion.

I pretty much agree with all of that... nonetheless they are both great fighters (in there primes).

[Bobby Shaw]

That's because Calzaghe is clearly better than Jones and proved as much in their fight.

An old Roy you mean?

wicked thread

An old Roy you mean?

They were both old. Jones had the power to make fights with Calzaghe and DM in all of their primes but chose to fight what most would call "nobodies."

Both fighters were better 5-10 years ago and Jones would be more competitive then but still get outworked IMO. Joe proved he could handle Jones's power so a KO was unlikely for Jones.

I would argue with you but Ricky Hatton being P4P #2 is crazy enough for me to not take on the task...

When Hatton beats Pac it won't be so crazy...
