    especially when he won the title with a controversial decision his last fight and had a killer like bad chad willing to fight him too. the question isnt how much the roy jones fight helps calzgahes "legacy", its how much it hurts it. i say alot.
    There is so much wrong with this post, I dont know where to begin.

    Roy was ranked in the top 10.

    Chad Dawson a killer???

      but as soon as roy jones jr. started getting KTFO & both fighters where in their 40s joe started having interest in them.

      good to know.

          You could also put it this way, As soon as Roy had nothing left to lose he wanted a payday against Calzaghe.

                Imagine if they were prime...
                Knockdowns happen.

                What you do in the rest of the fight it what matters.

                Just remember Calzaghe was
                a)not young himself in these fights.
                b) fighting abroad.
                C) first and second fights at a new weight.

                  roy was ranked in the top10 bcuz the title organizations are all about money and he has a big name, but any fan with common sense knows he wasnt amongst the 10 best 175lbers in the world.

                  chad is a beast, he had an of night against pascal but he will be a legend one day. even if u dont think hes that good u cant seriously believe he was an easier fight for joe than roy.

                    He was ranked in the top 10 at Ring Mag as well pal. Name 10 better 175lbers at the time. Its not like it was a stacked division.

                    I think Chad is an excellent boxer but "killer" is probably the last word I'd use to describe him. He'd just come off being battered round the ring by Glen Johnson. HBO werent calling for that fight. It was Pavlik or Jones
