Hope the november time frame isnt correct, RJJ will be approaching 40 and calzaghe 37, September/october is a perfectly reasonable timeframe for these 2 to not only sell the fight worldwide but also get themselves in tip top condition!!
u know your stuff kid,,,do you buy all this p4p stuff too,that rjj would own joe 5 years ago etc,i dont,sure jones is declining but so is calzaghe,id have loved to have seen it personally and maybe jones would have took it,but in no way would it have been a foregone conclusion,people have been underestimating joe all his life and see jones as a boxing god,i have a lot of respect for jones but the hype over the years really outweighed the man in my oppinion.
If you don't think Roy Jones in his prime would've beaten Joe Calzaghe, you need to go and watch more of Roy Jones Jr. Calzaghe is a great fighter but honestly, how in the hell would he have beaten a prime Jones with his style. It literally couldn't have happened barring some freak acident. Joe couldn't get his respect, couldn't get into his rythym, couldn't deal with his speed, and would get potshotted to death.
