    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.

    Not really. It didn't take a shot fighter to make Roy look that way

    Incorrect. Jones Circa 1995-2000 knocks the living shit out of Joe.

    I agree, though I do think at times JC would've made it a difficult fight for him. Not that that takes anything away from Calzaghe, he's undoubtedly a great fighter.

    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.

    I'm not sure if I would consider Calzaghe an ATG. Skill-wise? Probably, but my initial thought is that I still find his level of competition to be below that of an ATG. I'd really have to think more about it to give a definate answer as to whether I'd consider him an ATG, but I would certainly consider him a great fighter.

    I think Roy beats a lot of the top guys inthe p4p argument if they fought against eachother, but He didn't fight the type of names some of these guys did. I think if you are comparing primes he is a top 10 p4p, but being a great fighter means more than that. After this fight I definitely have Hopkins moving ahead of Roy on the p4p ATG list.

    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.
