calzaghe would beat prime jones

[Skip Bayless]

hear me out, rjj always liked to fight at a slow pace (30-40 punches per round), when he was faced with raw aggression he would do the following: throw a quick counter and move or lay on the ropes and grin.

calzaghe had very good powers of recovery, sure he would go down every now and then but he has never looked massively shaky and rjj never had huge 1 punch knock out power so i dont think he can take him out with 1 punch.

calzaghe overwhelms opponents with speed, clever pivots, head movement and volume of punches. how will rjj out box him?

rjj when faced with a large quantity of quick punches coming straight down the pipe would back up to the ropes and try sneaking in quick counters.

rjj was a great fighter and one of my all time fav but styles make fights so i see calzaghe beating rjj on the scorecards.

Yep, completely agree. Horrible style match up for Jones, as it showed when they fought.

That's a funny joke.

I agree.

Same way Trevor Berbick was a horrible style for Muhammad Ali, as it showed when they fought.

[Skip Bayless]

That's a funny joke.

so tell me how rjj would beat calzaghe?

He'd do whatever he wants. They aren't even in the same stratosphere.

Robin Reid outboxed Calzaghe for crying out loud.

Antonio tarver knocked out roy Jones for crying out loud.

[Madison Boxing]

People forget that joe was no spring chicken when he fought roy Jones. He'd slowed down himself.

[WarHagler]

I think it would be close but to say Roy didn't have one punch knockout power is silly , just ask Virgil Hill's rib. Calzaghe style is a bit tricky cause his style needs him to be faster than his opponent and to be able to slip his opponents punches and if the likes of James toney had trouble with it so would Calzaghe and to out speed Roy Jones is just laughable. Calzaghe does have a good iq though and was able to figure out his opponents but I don't see a plan for Calzaghe to use to out box a prime Roy Jones

Couldn't even beat old hopkins and Reid but thanks for the laugh.
