Dude since when does someone being undefeated matter?

Do you honestly rank Lacy(one of the two undefeated) in the same league as Hopkins or toney?

Lets not forget Reggie Johnson had James Toney very hurt and against people like Tarver and such he came close to defeating them at his old age.

Jones on the other hand dominated him like no one has.


Roy Jones' resume is better then Joe Calzaghe's.

and to markus

Why would you ignore that Calzaghe beat a weight drained Chris Eubank with barely enough time to prepare for him but are so quick to point out that The body snatcher was an older age, and like ICB said he went on to give James Toney a tough fight and still had greatness in him.

And to ross again, how would Joe outwork Jones in his prime?

You mean like Bryant Brannon tried to? By throwing 100 punches against Jones, when only a few of them landed and Roy punching him between the gloves.

I think people forget that Rou was a very very good counter puncher especially when people tried to pressure him he would always punch between the guard with his combination punching.

Calzaghe who showed against Hopkins he can be countered in between his flurries when Hopkins only threw one straight right hand which knocked Calzaghe off balance, how do you think Roy's right hand especially at 168 would have done to Joe. And if Roy had Joe down like Hopkins did(on the first right hand Hopkins threw) then Roy would have finished him.


Calzaghe isn't in the same league as Roy Jones. And Prime for Prime Jones would destroy Joe.

Joe is a good fighter, but Roy is in another class alltogether. How can someone who struggles against someone Roy beat 10+ years ago expected to beat Roy?
