I said all along that Jones was past it. He beat two journeyman and a washed up Trinidad on his comeback and some people acted like he was back. Hell, I thought Anthony freakin Hanshaw gave him a decent run for his money for the first half of the fight or so.
Calzaghe made a mistake by not fighting Pavlik first. He probably would have been the one to expose the young lion instead of Hopkins, adding to his legacy. Instead, he chose Jones because he's a bigger name and brought a bigger payday. But he could have fought Jones after Pavlik for his farewell bout. Beating this version of Jones does little for him other than fill his bank account.
