Even though I think Joe matches with his handspeed and is a more adaptable fighter, the extra power and better counterpunching of Jones would have carried him.

Now, I gotta give the edge to Calzaghe, but 8 years ago, no way.

Remember the same thing being said when hopkins and trinidad fought eachother. Styles can be very deceiving.

If the 2 boxed eachother tommorow:

Calzaghe by UD

If the 2 boxed eachother 6-7 years ago:

Jones jr by late stoppage

if the 2 boxed eachother each in their absoloute prime:

Id have to say RJJ by a split decision
