i love calzaghe but fuck me this boy was class

No he couldn't.

Nope.

Dont get me wrong I think Joe is a very good fighter infact I think he is currently the top p4p boxer in the world but a prime Roy Jones is possibly the greatest boxer ever.

nope jones will abuse, punish, and do illegal things to calzaghe.

....RJJ beating (by KO hopefully) Calzaghe would be one of the sweetest things that could happen in boxing right now

That video was amazing

He fought scared vs Tarver but in his last fight he seemed to get his swagger and arrogance back vs Tito . I wonder if we will see more of his showboating next week . It would be fantastic if he could trun back the clock and dazzle again but Ive gotta go with Calzaghe

A prime RJJ would do bad things to calzage the fact he can take the ring with calzage almost a decade after his prime speaks volumes about him considering how good calzage is

Calzaghe's fast but he gets caught with shots he shouldn't get caught with. I don't think he could beat a prime roy, then again who really could? That's not to say roy would have an easy night, cause calzaghe's output is so big I don't think anyone is going to ever have an easy time with him.

Calzaghe can't beat a 100% peak Jones and he knows it himself.

okay the question is,
will calzaghe compete with roy now if he boxes an amazing last fight ?
i think this will be a cracker both of them going all out to cement their legacys and end on a good one i think it will be a draw

All i will say is both at there best Calzaghe is just good enough to clean Roy's boots.;);D

but there not both at their best

Calzaghe wouldn't go 5 rounds with a prime Roy Jones jr....he still might not!

I remember laughing uncontrollably watching Jones beat up Pazienza.....it was just that funny.

Honestly,I don't think Calzaghe would have touched a prime Jones.Forget about it.BUT.....Roy is no where near his prime and has done very well resurecting himself over last 3 fights & lining this one up.

Like I already said joe most likely would not win, but I would bet my ass he'd go more than 5 rounds, I'm pretty dam sure he'd go the whole 12. I mean calzaghe would be one of the best fighters roy has faced, and roy would be the best fighter joe has faced. I know there are lots of people that discount what joe does and has done and deify roy, but to simply smirk and say joe wouldn't last 5 is really unwarranted. Joe has a solid enough chin and roy is fast but joe has enough speed himself to not get caught with everything roy would throw his way. There have been lesser fighters that have went 12 with a prime or near prime roy, I'm certain joe could do the same.
