could calzaghe ever compete with this ?(roy jones jr in his prime)

[kingfrnk]

I think it's kind of amusing the almost mythical status Jones Jr of a decade ago has.

Personally I think a prime Roy Jones versus a prime Joe Calzaghe is one hell of a matchup.

Jones would have to be favourite but those who think Calzaghe would get blown away in 5 rounds are just wishful thinking.

Calzaghe has never even lost a fight let alone been knocked out, his chin is as solid and proven as Hopkins or Jame Toney.

Whenever they fought it goes the distance imo and the fact is, as Roy Jones even says himself, he has never fought a fighter like Calzaghe either so we really don't know for sure what would happen.

WRONG if u look at calzaghe in his prime he shows nothin special, but look at jones in his prime he str8 destroyed his opponents and made them look like sparring partners did joe do any of that NO.

and his chin is nothing like Hopkins or Toney, Joe has flash knockdowns as he showed against hopkins and the only time bhop has been down was agains Mercado and fought back to a draw AND has fought a PRIME roy jones, felix trinidad (feared power puncher), antonio tarver (who kod Jones) and kelly pavlik. Joe has NOT fought power punchers like Hopkins. EVER

Well you were about 10 years old when Jones was in his prime so really what do you know

The fact is Jones Jr looked spectaculat beating up on largely ordinary fighters.

Don't get me wrong he's beaten some great fighters too but looking spectacular doesn't equal winning every fight.

I know some of you like to think he was God until for some reason his chin packed up in the rematch with Tarver but the truth is that Jones in his early days was technically flawed but so athletically gifted he could get away with it.

Calzaghe would have been faster than any fighter he ever faced and wouldn't have allowed Jones to get into a rythm.

Not saying Calzaghe would definitely win, but it's by means a blowout.

You don't get to be 45-0 and to unify all four title belts in a division without being incredibly good. Calzaghe at his best is not an easy fight for any man in the world, not even the mythically perfect fighter that was Roy Jones Jr.

And excatly WTF my age has to do with any of this, NOTHING AT ALL and u shouldnt even bring up tarver since were talkin about SMWs anyway the FACT is a prime Roy jones at 168 would fukin rape JOE thats it joe doest have great defense like prime JAMES TONEY did and he was p4p 2 or 3 at the time and wat make u think he wont embarrASS joe like that hmm
