I have no doubt in my mind that Chad Dawson KOs Joe after seeing B-Hop (past prime, and who is not a puncher) and Roy knock him down. Just had to express my toughts because the whole HBO crew was hugging his nuts a whole lot.
Why? Roy hit him and really hurt him that's true. But what happened next? Joe got up and proceeded to beat his ass, When have you EVER seen Roy Jones outboxed and totally outclassed like that?

Tarver knocked him out from one huge punch (which joe doesn't have) but he never came close to putting a beating like that on him. Johnson overpowered him and beat him up as well but Jones was at his lowest ever point there. And without the natural power Johnson has he wouldn't have outboxed Jones like that.

It made me think Calzaghe might actually beat Jones in his prime. See Calzaghe just does not know how to lose, he has no self doubt at all. When he got hiy he was defiant, dropping his hands and taunting Jones.

That ain't the mark of a man who would crumble against any fighter.

I reckon Calzaghe could have broken Jones will at any time in his career.

COULD being the operative word, it would be one hell of a matchup and Jones would have just as much chance to beat Joe.

But please stop thinking it would be a walkover for Roy becuase Calzaghe is like no other fighter since Marciano imo.
