Yes right now Calzaghe would definately tag him on the chin and it'd be lights out, I just can't vision Roy not being tagged at some point during the fight. 5 years ago I'd pick Calzaghe to lose a UD or get stopped late, but this is now. I'd much rather RJJ go on to fighting Hopkins, he has a chance of actually not getting hit in that fight since Bernard isn't nearly as aggressive as Joe, and doesn't have the handspeed that would surely allow him to find RJJ's chin. Not saying Bernard couldn't do it, I just don't think he's better equipped to handle Roy.

Of course this is all being said in terms of "Ok if he has to fight somebody it should be..."
Hopefully the man will smarten up and retire
Well said, CC

At this point in time Calzaghe has Jones number....6 years ago it would have been the other way round...

Calzaghe would stop Jones Jr now...
