    I hate to break it to you Calzaghe fans but during his prime Calzaghe #1 never left his weight class #2 never went to another country to fight a big fight....those are the things RJJ and Hopkins catch shit over and he did BOTH of them. To me Calzaghe is not much better than Svenn Ottke, in terms of how he handled his career of course and not how he fought. Calzaghe was a very solid capable fighter, I just don't think it's fair to compare him to top teir fighters when he rarely set foot in the ring with a dangerous fighter....compared to his record RJJ's is AMAZING.
    People say Roy was over the hill when he fought Calzaghe but he is only 3 years older than him. If Jones was over the hill when they are so close in age surely Calzaghe was over the hill too.

    Fenster, common opponents are one thing the style matchup between Benn and Toney is quite another. Toney would pick him apart.

    Snakefist, Joe hasn't had to drop 20 pounds of muscle recently and that's what screwed RJJ up so badly. When Roy left 175 nobody could touch him...Calzaghe only recently left 168 and he hasn't moved back down to 168 either.

    That's just fantasy though. There is no possible way you will ever know.

    The form is where the facts are. The form book points to Benn. Fact.

    3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.

    Moving down weight classes can give you more of an advantage than moving up. It depends on the natural size of a person.
    What weight devision was Roy Jones in origonally. If he is better at heavyweight then I must admit I would like to see him fight the Klitchko,s.
    With good training up to the fight I would give him a better chance than any of the heavyweights.

    Lord I'm so sick of Roy Joke JR. He's made a career of running from tough fights.

    People like to think that, but I don't think it's the case. RJJ had the opportunity to have some huge fights, the other fighters ran away from him as well and it's not as if he never fought anyone good at all: Bernad Hopkins, James Toney, Virgil Hill, Julio Cesar Gonzales, Montell Griffin, Mike McCallum, Thulani Malinga....Roy had some very good fights vs solid competition.

    The ones he missed out on were: Dariusz Michalczweski, Svenn Ottke, Vassiliy Jirov, Bernard Hopkins II, James Toney II, Joe Calzaghe in their primes, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Steve Collins, Gerald McClellan....but hell I don't see him having much trouble with any of those guys

    It can be better in certain occasions to drop weight, but RJJ had to drop MUSCLE and 20 pounds of it. He never weighed in at the heavyweight minimum, he weighed 193 for the fight with John Ruiz, it would have made sense for him to fight at cruiser instead of 175.

    Roy fighting the Klitschko's would be murder...say what you will about Roy's skill and all, but Bob Foster a GREAT light heavyweight fought a couple fights vs the best heavyweights and he got sparked out big time! The same would have happened to Roy.
