    So prime for prime its a great fight, this version of Roy will get worked so hard that after 6rds i doubt he will have the energy to stand.
    Roy Jones met many fighters in his prime who tried to out work him and you know what ?? they all failed because Jones was too good at countering, too quick, too strong, as soon as they felt his power they went right back on to the defensive and we are talking about fighters with iron chins. Theres no way on this earth a prime Jones Jr would lose to Calzaghe. Calzaghe has too many defense issues even a British commentator stated in the Richie Woodhall fight that Calzaghe has to seriously tighten up his defense, if he is even considering fighting Jones.


    Dont agree he never fought anyone as active or with the stamina Calzaghe has. I think Roy would win but it would be close and hard fought. Montel Griffin in the first fight showed if you could keep pressure on him you could get at him due to his lack of activity.

    And from 1994-2003 Roy Jones resume is a whos who of faded former fighters and bums, so as good as he looked in those fights you cannot possibly judge what he did to how he would do against a 2005 Joe Calzaghe.

    Please dont say you think a prime Joe beats a real prime fighter in Jones Jr. I bet you thought Hatton would beat Mayweather too.

    It was nothing to do with Griffin's work rate it was down to his awkward style.
