    Jones by KO.

    I don't think Calzaghe would last 6 rounds. Not saying he isn't a good fighter, but I just never saw anything special about Calzaghe.

      Prime Roy at 168 I think is as near unbeatable as a fighter can be. He makes Joe look silly. Prime Hopkins and Toney also moider Joe and Im not sure how Joe even fares domestically against prime versions of Eubank, Watson and Benn.

          last evening my youngest got real cheeky so I half heartedly swatted him...he wanted some so our play fight was on...I should have taped it to recreate what the Jones Calzighe fight would have looked like.

            Calzaghe might.

                Joe would never have fought a prime version of Roy.

                  Jones by knockout. Once Calzaghe tries to volume punch his way to win, he will get caught by the faster man.

                    Joe would slip his shots and keep coming.

                      So many people are deeply butthurt that Calzaghe went his career undefeated and has Hopkins and RJJ names on his resume, you can literally feel the seething anger and as a result the ridiculous hate Calzaghe gets on here!

                      Yeah RJJ was past his best when Joe beat him, but everyone knows RJJ was juiced up to his eyeballs in his prime and so wasn't a natural fighter. Even against a juiced up RJJ i still think Calzaghe has too much for him, too intelligent and RJJ fought nobody like him. A lot of people on here cant see past their hate to make a logical unbiased opinion.

                      I find it laughable people think Hopkins won against Joe, he used negative tactics throughout and just tried to spoil and fake low blows etc.

                      Calzaghe UD.
