Jones or Calzaghe at Super Middleweight

[Gandalf]

wow another average joe.C vs. a true great fighter topic.

joe.C is nowhere near jones j.r level prime for prime. this is ridicules, joe.C beats a overhype lacy and he himself blows up to overhype propotion.

i said it before i'll say it again prime for prime, james toney whoops joe, winky whoops joe, bhop whoops joe, and most def, roy jones jr. whoops joe.................easy

The only reason I even brought the topic up is the fact that after the Lacey win you would have thought Joe could box on water....SOOOO Much paraise....Now it is those same people who I see on the boards criticizing him.....I just find it funny how such a turn around in opinion has taken place....When his win over Lacey was not then or now impressive.....Other than Power what did Lacey have?

HYPE, AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT JOE. HAS NOW TOO HYPE.


even lacys power was hype just cause he had a kind of tyson look. :P

The majority on this site were supporting Lacy back then. They crawl away dismiss Lacy and reinvent under new forms...

yes alot of people were miles i thought it would be closer aswell but people realize that lacy isnt as good as people made out thats why calzaghe victory doesnt mean much now lacy vs that vitali guy lacy only just scrapped by and vitali is not the elite by any means calzaghe has lived off that win too long and should have been fighting kessler hell even clinton woods would of been good opponent but no he is facing manfredo .. need i say more i am calzaghe fan miles but he has been letting me as fan down lately dont i cant even defend him with his latest choices

He's only had a fight since Lacy, Ice, and yes Manfredo will be crap next. But that is not why Im arguing what I am in this thread. Im judging this on Calzaghe fights from over the years. Skill wise Calzaghe is up there. As simple as. On a theoretical level I think a Calzaghe: Jones fight goes either way.

Im not defending Calzaghes oppositional record since Lacy here.
