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....
Honestly i think it would of been a much bigger fight for calzaghe than Jones; jones would of been p4p No1 at the time, calzaghe was still an unknown in the us at the time... You seen how calzaghe came into the lacy fight, Jones would of been much much bigger for him.

I agree with pretty much evetything Miles has said on this, i don't think jones would of stopped calzaghe, i know he has had 2 silly knock downs - but so have a lot of great fighters. Being a southpaw could also cause jones some problems, i know he can switch stances but it can still be tricky.

If this was such an easy fight for Jones, he would of taken it long ago - doubt even jones would say calzaghe would be easy for him.
