Yeah, it's a credit to Jones - as shot as he is he's still at least a little bit competitive against anyone.
But he looked like an old man in there tonight. The writing was on the wall in the 2nd and 3rd rounds - he was doing to RJJ what RJJ used to do to everyone else: making them miss and making them look stupid.

Whatever the ifs and where fors Jones took the fight at this stage of his career in his own backyard and got pony knocked out of him .. and woulda done anytime he fought against JC..

A lot of boxing promoters couldn't match the cheeks of their buttocks. Mickey Duff..
Of course he is. I am a big fan of Calzaghe, he is an all time great.
But I honestly believe that RJJ in his prime was about the the third or fourth best fighter ever. SRR, Ali and Louis are better IMO.
HOWEVER, we'll never know that for sure because he should have been more proactive in securing legacy defining fights when he was in his prime.

Yeah, ban me
A past his best Chris Eubank (who admitted he was scared of Roy Jones) gave Calzaghe one of his toughest fights.
You can ban blokes for stating FACT.![]()

I think Calzaghe missed fair bit to, and I don't know how Joe got the 12th round. I don't know why Roy wouldn't have gone to the body on the outside, when a guy is almost matching your speed you go to the body, It opens everything else up, but I was super surprised he hurt Joe so badly, especially with his forearm, I knew Roy's power was gone. I still think when he threw punches Joe couldn't react effectively, but Roy never threw punches. His reflexes weren't horrible, but he reminded me of Ray Robinson(when he got old not older, but OLD) and all those other guys, except he couldn't throw combinations or with power anymore. He didn't have the speed differential he is used to(and would have had if they had fought 7 years ago) he couldn't quite counter in situations he would have countered Calzaghe. And Joe's shinanigans would have gotten him lambasted.
