    I mean an old RJJR almost KO'd Calzaghe in the first round with his arm so that right there gives you an indication of what a prime roy would have done to him.

      Prime Roy at super-middleweight picks any version of Calzaghe apart. There is very little i'm more certain about.

        Joe would have schooled prime jones.

        the only difference between prime and current jones is his chin, and joe outboxed him anyway

          I thought at first that TS was a troll, because no one could be ****** enough to elevate Joe Calzaghe to anything resembling a respectable level, and then I read this post.

          Joe Calzaghe fought no one his entire career until he beat up on two guys that were so far past their prime that it was borderline ridiculous. He's an overrated clown, and honestly one of the big jokes in the history of championship level boxing. Prime Roy not only beats him, he clowns him.

            Its sad how someone as talented as 'Jones will be remembered for the following

            1. Fighting Civil servants during his prime
            2. Having the worst Chin in the history of boxing
            3. Losing disgracefully every time he fought someone above C level
            4. Being a steroid cheater

              He was good enough to make a prime James Toney look like a journeyman.

                Yeah, Roy is the exact same as he was in his prime. Great footwork, killer reflexes.. he's got it all but a chin.. Right?

                  1.) Calzaghe never fought anybody at all until they were completely shot, at least Roy has a W over the 93 version of Hopkins

                  2.) If you think Roy has the worst chin in the history of boxing, then you haven't watched a lot of boxing. Is his chin great? Not at all, but worst ever is LMFAO worthy.

                  3.) James Toney and 93 Hopkins > Anyone Calzaghe has ever fought, so what letter grade do the guys on his resume get? D? F?

                    My last post of the thread: Anyone who knows boxing and has a set of eyes can see that a prime Roy is a superior athlete and fighter to Calzaghe, so I won't waste any more of my time with this ridiculous argument.
