Tell you what though, a way past his best Jones is still better than a 36 year old brittle handed Calzaghe who wings pitter patter punches with a porous defense.. Bernard dropped him once and wobbled him real bad with the last punch of the 7th round because Joe was just moving his hands and not punching..
If you look at the Kessler fight joe ate alot of punches and got dazed a few times because he was careless.. If Jons hits him with the kind of punches that those 2 were able to than Joe is gonna get stopped!!!
Roy can fight and dig Joe with his back to the ropes and hurt him enough to have him think twice.. Guaranteed at 36 and 175lbs Joe cant throw more than 60 punches around without blowing out of his ass with exhaustion, not to mention Joe has never been countered as sharp, quick and powerfully as Jones will do, it will be enough for Joe to ask himself if its worth getting busted up just to throw a few BS insignifigant flurries
The more I think about it, the more entertaining I think this will be. but From the perspective of being a Joe fan, I hate this fight. He has absolutley nothing to gain from it, all the pundits/fans/'experts'
like to point out to Roy's diminishing physical abilities, yet it is painfully obvious that Joe is no where near his best physically either.
At least Roy showed against Tito that he still had zip (if not outright power) in his punches, something that Joe hasn't showed since his fight against that Armenian fella who's parents forgot to put vowels in his name. Joe was never a one punch KO artist (very very few people are), but at his best he could still buzz and buckle fighters when he picked his punches, even though the stupid flurries you talk about have been creeping into his game for a long time now.
