Roy Jones Jr Vs. Joe Calzaghe??

[Snowball]

TOPICS MERGED - BIG H


OK, I am hearing through the grapevine that Calzaghe's next fight will be against Roy Jones Jr. Now, after watching the fight the other night, does anyone on this forum think that Calzaghe can beat Jones? Yes, I know that Jones isn't what he was 10 years ago, but I believe that he will absolutely destroy Calzaghe. Calzaghe has no punching power what so ever, so Roy wouldn't have to respect him at all. I believe that this matchup would result in Roy getting his first knockout in a while...............What are everyone's thoughts?? I'd say Jones in a KO within 6 rounds.

I agree with some of what you say. Calzaghe does have a great chin, that is without question, a 6th round KO is a stretch IMO. I do think Jones will be able to impose his will and hurt Calzaghe, but that would be late in the fight after 10 rounds of dancing and playing with him.

The other thing here is that the judges will definately be favoring Joe, I think Jones will have to beat Joe as bad as he beat Lacy or KHTFO to get a W.

Joe will be favourite because he has been more active and against a better level of opponent but Roy does look good again and I will be rooting for him, but no way will he stop Joe in 6 rounds, a prime Roy Jones would struggle doing that.
