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.
Yeah I remember Ian Darke saying that cuz Joe was eating Richies right hand. He was taking alot from Reid too but orthodox fighters look for the right cross vs southpaws .


Anyways right now Joe is my favourite boxer but I have to admit that Jones in his prime was just too good. I think he may even be one of the greatest ever to lace up the gloves . Seriously .

If they met now though my money would be on Joe to outwork him and win on points . Jones tends to stand stiff with his hands high since he lost his reflexes. Dont think he can match Joe these days .
