Does RJJ make the top 10 P4P if he wins???

[richard (mossley)]

No of course not. For RJJ to win, this would have to mean a serious deteriation in Calzaghes talents. Meaning RJJ is still nowhere near top 10 P4P.
A RJJ win would be the upset of the decade so far.

If you knock off #2 pound 4 pound, no matter the circumstances, you deserve at least a #10 pound for pound spot.

So who gets knocked off from the top 10 list because Roy wins? It depends on what the top 10 current P4P fighters do aswell surely?

P4P list's do my head in personally, all i know is if RJJ wins. He would seal the deal on his legacy, and he would retire one of the best fighters of all time. Plus it would be one of the best achievements for an almost 40 year old.

Same here lol. It would be a great win though as Joe is more of his old self than Roy is (well thats an obvious statement I know) so a RJJ win is far more impressive than a Calzaghe win.

I was thinking about this the other day. If Roy wins he probably will go into the Rings top 10 p4p fighters and I think I would have to agree because if it was someone like Jermain Taylor who is still quite young that beat Joe he would go into the top 10 so why not Roy?

Exactly what I was going to type. If RJJ wins he should definitely be a top 10 p4p. Probably in the 5-10 range.

Yeah thats my thinking! Definitely has to make the list but in the bottom 5

Surely he would be placed higher than Hopkins right? especially if Hopkins loses to Pavlik.

Yeah if Pavlik beats Hopkins & Jones beats Calzaghe I'd expect it to look something like this:

3 Pavlik
4 Vazquez
5 Margarito
6 Jones
7 Calzaghe
8 Hopkins

If Pavlik crushes B-Hop he may fall out altogether making way for my boy Calderon to re-enter!!!

Wow, way to not give credit where it would be due. If Roy wins it only means Calzaghe's suddenly way over-the-hill?

Unless Calzaghe just stands there and let's Roy punch him to death I say Jones makes the p4p list if he wins.
And that is really the only realistic way RJJ can win. Calzaghe on a bad day beat Hopkins. RJJ, a man who has knocked noone out in SIX years should be a breaze. Who did RJJ fight last? A blown up welterweight, thats comedy preparation for Calzaghe.

that blown up welter weight has a better name than anyone on calzaghes resume except for hopkins. and its clear you didnt watch the fight with hopkins, calzaghe landed nothing clean got knocked down in the 1st and fought a bhops pace. boi stop

Are you off your meds? do you honestly believe that a past it RJJ facing a well past it Felix Trinidad is more of a risk than Calzaghe taking on Kessler

RJJ needs to turn back time in an unprecedented way to dominate Calzaghe I have seen nothing in the last few years from RJJ that beats Calzaghe

Calzaghe by Wide UD and if RJJ pulls a Rocky then he deserves to be in the top 10 P4P for whatever that means

And lets start to look at the evidence.

Roy Jones Jr will not win by decision, thats fantasy. his only hope is that he stops Calzaghe. This is something Jones Jr has been unable to do in 6 (SIX) YEARS. Thats right his last KO was in 2002.
His last fight, he could not even manage to knock out a blown up welter weight. This would be the upset of the decade for Jones to win.
I see nothing other than a Calzaghe KO.
