    CONVINCINGLY!!!
    Will that change your opinion over Calzaghes humiliation of Roy and will Joes stock raise higher?

        No not really cause Roy is far past his prime no matter what happens in march against Hopkins. If he manages to beat Hopkins it just shows he always had the style to beat Hopkins.

          No, it just means an old roy jones beats an old hopkins.

          The fact remains that calzaghe fought both these guys past their primes. nothing will ever change that.

            Calzaghe lost to Hopkins and Jones only lost cause he didnt finish him and he got cut from headbutt.

              I am one of the few that think Joe's win over Roy was a decent though not great win.

              Roy is far past prime, however for a man of his age his handspeed is astounding. A lot of people (myself included) thought Roy had a good chance at beating Joe based on the Style matchup.

              In the first round Roy showed he is still a threat by dropping Joe with a good shot, however Joe then preceeded to do a 'Jones on Jones!

              After the fight Roy has a good win over Jeff Lacy, and if he can beat Hopkins (he has a shot) then yes, it further enhances Joe's win.

                And a Young Roy Jones beat a young Bernard Hopkins.

                People would look at it like, wow Roy beat him when they were young and then again when they were old.

                  Styles make fights, and Calzaghe's style of workrate is hard for a 40 year old man to deal with.

                    It all depends on how Hopkins looks against Ornelas and how he actually performs against Roy.

                    The thing with Hopkins is, at his age, he can get old at any time.

                    Roy is past it himself as well though.
