I think Jones would punish him for at least 3 rds....Jones loved to just embarrass opponents.....Wished he would have never left 168...
I dont think there is much to substantiate that Jones would stop Calzaghe. Might be able to put him down, but Calzaghe would simply get back up. Looking back over the career of Jones Jr, Calzaghe would have been one of the most difficult fights on his resume, if the fight had ever taken place. Jones had the tools, but Calzaghe would have made it less than easy...
I just think the motivation is what really drove Jones...and the opportunity to really show out against someone like Joe C would bring out the best of Jones...and he was the beast at 168....
I agree with you that Jones was great at 168, but its also a situation that would have Calzaghe all guns a blazing. Skillwise Calzaghe is up there with Jones. Its only Jones' freakish physicality and speed that hold the edge over Joe. I really cannot see Jones stopping him.
