    Default Calzaghe vs Jones Jr or Mayweather v Mosley?

    Better win? Personally I'm leaning toward's the Jones fight!

    Calzaghe was probably the most 'SHOT' fighter operating at world level for decades! What he achieved was nothing short of miraculous considering that he was suffering from acute brittle bone disease in both hands! (A boxer with fragile hands! Go figure! Amazing! Most ppl would happily sit at home and claim Disability Benefit!! Not the welsh wizard...Oh no! He had work to do!)

    The jones fight in the garden was simply an elite display of almost god-like boxing ability. A masterclass that should be hanging in the god damn louvre! Sorry but I'm getting a raging boner just thinking about it...

    Roy had now adapted his body back to 175 and was probably fighting 'clean' at this stage in his career having easily dismantled El chevito Trinidad (Who had destroyed Mayorga and William Joppy as he cruised through the weight divisions!) The fight was only Calzaghe's second at the weight and he travelled to america despite the likes of Hopkins, Lewis, Tarver, and Johnson all predicting that Jones would beat him. (Yes they actually did!)

    What made the performance even more amazing was that Calzaghe recovered from a brutal (Ramon Dekkers-esque!) illegal forearm in the 1st round only to get up and completely bamboozle Jones with superb lateral movement and delicious 4 and 5 piece combinations throughout.

    Roy then went on to produce a clinical exhibition V Jeff Lacy and then gave his own virtuoso masterclass versus Glen Johnson conqueror Omar Sheika proving that he still had plenty left in the tank. Also note that Jones frustrated and stole 5 rounds off of Linear champ hopkins and gave more than a decent showing vs James Toney conqueror Denise Lebedev (The fight was heading for at least a majority decision loss at the beginning of the 10th!) Lebby was injured vs Marco Huck too and still most ppl thought he was jobbed!

    Mosley on the other hand went life and death with "The Latin Snake" Sergio Mora after his fight with Floyd and got a draw. He basically ran from Manny for 12 rounds and then got got destroyed by Canelo.

    Respect must be given because after the corrupt officiating in the Hopkins fight, you could have forgiven Calzaghe for demanding the fight in Wales! And even when it looked like he was gunna get screwed again with jones trying to use his forearms as weapons the choir boy from the valley's soldiered on! Electric! The Roy Jones that Joe Calzaghe beat would of beat most light heavyweights today, including Chad Dawson! U know it! And u know it was equally as good a win as even the Lewis v Tyson victory! Am i wrong?

    I think the very fact that Roy was making superb 'RAP' music and Mosley was struggling with the basic fundamental's of speech at that point in there respective careers HL's my point too! Y'all musta forgot!

    So do you let Calzaghe finish in your mouth or are his hands too brittle for that so you just take it in the ass like a true brit!

    Sorry but that's where I stopped reading. With an opening premise like that objectivity just flew the coup.

    Joe has china hands. This is boxing. He fought the last 4-5 years with brittle hands. He was considering retirement after defeating the courageous Evander Ashira if i remember rightly!

    Danny Dyer hit's harder than JC.

    What does that have to so with the sentence I quoted? If anything it shows how good Joe was to have wrecked his hands around the time of Shieka and still beat the lot and retire undefeated and breaking the title defense record along the way. I don't put much stock into either fight tbh as both Joe and Floyd fought two men that were long past it.

    Wow, I'm absolutely shocked that so many pros picked Jones. I remember it being a lot more unanimously in Calzaghe's favor. I guess the pros who picked him went on false hope that the old Roy would show up.

    I still stick by the fact that Mosley was a much better win for Floyd.

    You're right mate - Surprised this even up for discussion. Floyd victory over Mosley was a 10x better victory. You only need to go back to the time when it was happening to see what people thought about it. At first it was "Floyd will never fight Shane..he's too scared. He needs to fight him to be the man at welter..blah blah" - he signed up for the fight a week later and people were full of praise. Hindsights a wonderful thing..I don't think anybody saw Jones vs Calzaghe as anymore than a circus exhibition.

    Note he fails to address the question and answers with a second Xenophobic attack! Savage.

    P.s I don't live anywhere near my pond. The groundsman has a small lodging house not far from it though. Would u like a ride in my Roll's Royce?
