Roy Jones should beat Green and retire as a cruiserweight titlist, because I think he would lose to all those I mentioned, and Adanek would do some sinister things to him.
    thats a quality post my dude ......I got mad luv for Roy but it is what it is!!

      Joe may have been the winner of those fights but the legacies and careers of Hopkins and Jones far surpass that of Calzaghe's.
      Calzaghe wasnt exactly a spring chicken in those fights.

          I agree Roy is still shot, but why are we bringing Calzaghe into the discussion.

                Calzaghe was good as he ever was. He hadn't slowed down at all and had to develop an economic style nlike Hopkins or RJJ did, and he just ourworked and dominated Kessler to become the linear SMW champ. Calzaghe was at his peak.

                  Calzaghe is a good whipping boy to insult here pretty much whatever the discussion

                      Lol, man Glen would smash Roy. It would look like a replay of the first fight, Johnson would smother him from round 1... again.

                      The only fights I'd advise Roy to take would be Green and Anderson Silva.
