Ive seen him knocked down but someone whos hurt does not get it back together that quick and out hustle or outbox their opponent imediately after?

Being close to losing is getting a draw, not a split decision win.

Yes I reckon Joe would would have done marginally less better against a younger Jones but dont forget Joe was a better fighter years ago as well, he had power then and hed always give Joes problems with his workrate and will.

Ray fought Hagler after 3 years out, he would have lost a step, imagine if hed been active It may have looked like Calzaghe Lacy
Joe Calzaghe was hurt throughout the entire round against Kabary Salem, secondly winning a split decision isn't close to losing what the hell ? i don't get that logic at all can you explain that one for me ?

SRL was smart he only fought Marvin Hagler after he see John Mugabi vs Marvin Hagler. He'd seen Marvin Hagler had slowed down quite alot, and he saw a great chance, he also got everything he wanted the gloves, ring size, rounds, ETC.

Im not even going to reply to the last comment because thats a wind up comment, but your other comment was ridiculous. "Marginally less better" against a prime RJJ are you frigging kidding me ?

Go watch a prime RJJ then go watch the RJJ of the last few years, its like its two different fighters. Lastly Joe Calzaghe did have better speed/power when he was younger, but he didn't have no where near the smart boxing brain he has had in the last few years.
