    I like this post.

    New posters need to get in in this timeless debate.

        Jones at his best at 168 was unbeatable IMO. Calzaghe would have to make it an inside fight and force Jones to the ropes. Roy had better footwork. I would favor Jones by UD.

          Yea Roy was a nightmare for anyone, any style. Would be a great fight.

            Joe remembers my thread inspired by daggum.

              Roy...too fast for Calzaghe imo just like everyone else. I think its possible Roy could stop him early due to the fact that Calzaghe is actually an ambitious fighter who would turn up to win, otherwise it's a UD after the fight settles into a pattern.

              Calzaghe belongs in that ring, and would probably win a few rounds off activity, but unless Roy has long spells tucked up with his back on the ropes I dont see Joe having lots of success.

                Different caliber of fighters.
                No additional word necessary.

                  The king of slaps - Calzaghe - would be slapped all night long. With hammers.

                    - -The Super Joe that dismantled undefeated KO artist Lacy and undefeated great Kessler would by far be the best fighter Roy ever fought. He ruined poor Lacy for life.

                    Maybe someone can come up with a 2 fight streak by Roy that makes him better than the 50-50 I got.
