Interesting Frank Warren quote

[JUYJUY]

"Joe's the best fighter I've ever been involved with. I'd be absolutely shocked if Lacy managed to beat him because it just won't happen.

"Joe has much quicker hands than Reid and more speed around the ring. It's no secret that Robin was in no shape to fight and only stood with Lacy for a payday.

"If you saw Tarver and Johnson in their last fight, they weren't up to much and Joe would of beaten both of them the same night that night.

"I still have all the documents, right after the Byron Mitchell fight Bernard Hopkins agreed to fight Joe at the same arena for Joe's super-middleweight title, we had everything agreed with Showtime and just as we were about to announce the fight Hopkins turns down the $3million and demands $6million or no fight.

"I've never called anybody who has stepped through those ropes a coward, but Hopkins also did a good job of dodging a rematch with Roy Jones. He never truly had any intention of fighting Joe or Jones again because he knew that he'd lose.

"As for Jones, I don't blame him for not fighting Joe, tell me why would he want to fight Joe and lose when he can move up to heavyweight and have an easy nights work with 'jab and grab' John Ruiz and be called the greatest?"

warrens actually right

[number6]

Joe may outbox Lacy,and Hopkins as well but defo not Jones at that time.

Calzaghe would of beaten Jones Jr.

Calzaghe would of beaten Jones Jr.

Jones was a different class,personally i think he was better than Joe in every departement.
We will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Calzaghe would of beaten Jones Jr.

You're full of ****, and absolutly delusional.

Calzaghe is a sheltered coward who's wasted his career hiding in Whales.

[JUYJUY]

Jones Jr by 2003 wouldn't of been all that competitive, with Calzaghe coming up in weight even bigger and even stronger than usual. Come on, let's be real. Calzaghe would of beaten him, I agree with Warren on this one. Look, Calzaghe would of had much faster hands than Jones Jr had they fought in 2003. Infact Calzaghe had faster hands in combination than Jones Jr ever had (Jones Jr had faster single pot shots and faster reflexes though). I believe that Calzaghe would of forced him to trade by coming onto him, timing those leaps forward and getting inside at some point and trading, and then the chins would be the difference (Calzaghe's solid, Jones Jr's shaky).
