    At the end of the day, he beat Hopkins and Jones

    I dont rate either of them, Hopkins ran a few years ago when offered the fight and Jones would never have lived with calzaghes speed and work rate or his power when he was younger

    I agree

    Jokes aside, How can you blame either Hopkins or Jones for not fighting Calzaghe back then...... Calzaghe at the time was all risk and no reward.

    Hopkins was smarter to fight him later on in his career where Joe was far more recognized around the boxing world and actually had some good wins on his resume.

    Judging by the smiley after the rest of your post, you don't like Joe's chances against a Prime Jones and i agree.

    To give Calzaghe some credit though, I think he causes Roy alot more trouble than most think because of his southpaw style (Roy struggled abit with them), speed and workrate.
