    You could never count him out, he hit harder and faster than Lacy, and even though he had a lesser chin, he was dangerous at anytime as long as he was on his feet.
    Jones had incredible power for a SMW, awesome speed, athleticism and an awkward style.
    He would have worked Joe.

      People are getting to hyped about Joe's win over Lacy...What turned me off to Joe was his failure to impress me before this win...though, I only saw a few, the fights that were on Showtime and some on the internet...good fighter, but is becoming way overrated.

      IF Joe thought he could have beaten Roy, he would of came to the U.S.A., and fought at Light-Heavyweight.

      I remember when people did the same with Hopkins when he beat Tito
      Jones and Calzaghe should have fought along time ago. Before Jones moved to LH.
      I always thought Calvaghe would of tested Jones, and dragged him into a proper fight.
      If they were both at their best i can see Jones landing some swift combinations. Calzaghes defence was never that great.
      But could Jones of handled Calzaghes non stop fast pace?

      I think Calzaghe stops Benn in a brilliant short fight, and im sure if Eubank was any younger the result wouldnt have been that much different.

      I think people overrate Eubank slightly. He had many fights where he didnt look impressive at all. At his best he was very good.

            Yes.
            People also forget that Lacy was a B level fighter at best.
