I'll start by saying I sincerely believe a prime RJJ beats Prime Calzaghe
BUT comments about RJJ being way past his best, whilst being right, don't also take into account that the same could be said for Calzaghe. Alright he's not 'way' past his best but he is definitely not the guy that beat Lacy. 2006 Lacy hits harder than today's version of Jones or B-hop and he caught Clzaghe clean a few times in the early rounds a dn Calzaghe never went down like he did in his last 2 fights (I have only see the KD so far in the RJJ fight - watching it later) But people say Jomnes is shot, because he has been KOed twice, well who's fault is that, he shouldn't have got KOed twice should he , Calzaghe hasn't ever been knocked out, he gets up and wins. Apart from the big 2 losses RJJ wasn't in many really hard fights was he, so was 39 with 55 fights, Calzaghe was 36 with 45 fights, they are both past their best, admidetly Jones more so than JC, but that's because he's had a couple of hidings against 2 'Good' not 'Great' fighters. Again I will say imo Jones Prime for prime beats JC, but let's not think that this was a prime 28 year old that just beat RJJ either.

I agree BigH, Joe is past his best as well.

But then it starts getting ridiculous - well, uh, Joe is still probably 75% of what he was at his best. But then Roy is probably only about 40% of when he was at this best so how do we rate the win blah blah blah.

Bottom line is, at good as Joe's win was tonight, you can't read a whole lot into it.

I'm sure I speak for the majority of boxing fans on this site when I say THESE ARE FIGHTS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE FUCKING YEARS AGO!

Prime versus prime. Roy wasted his prime fighting bums, and, truth be told, so did Joe.
