    Suppose you get the same money fighting either RJJ or Calzaghe in their primes in Vegas. Who would you pick?

    Joe Calzaghe was one of my favorite fighters ever i respect him a ton, but

    a prime RJJ is a Bad dude and almost impossiable to catch clean and can

    ko you from any angle

    Calzaghe either wins a wide UD or gets me on an accumulation stoppage, but doesn't leave me too badly damaged mentally or physically.

    RJJ probably clowns, humiliates, and outclasses me for awhile, toying with me the whole time, before knocking me out with a punch I don't even see coming, maybe while showboating.

    I'd much rather calzaghe than RJJ

    Slap happy Calzaghe for sure, who knows, maybe i could even survive until the last bell if i turtle up enough and throw a jab here and there.

    RJJ would just knock me the **** out after embarrassing me in front of everyone for a round of two

    If the match purse was different, i'd pick whoever would give me the most money, though

    I have an asswhooping coming anyway, might at least get more paid for it

    No son.

    You would get KOd in the first round by either one of them.


    If the point of the thread is to ask who was better h2h at 168, the answer is Jones.

    calzaghe. he's not very powerful, easy to hit, and struggles with lateral movement. plus, if he does catch you with a clean punch, he'll slap your arms a few times and the ref will stop it.
    Roy would just hit you with a shot you didn't see coming and knock you out for 3 days. that's like asking me who would i rather fight between these guys?

    Not by Calzaghe the ***** slapper. I've trained boxing for several years so i know at least how to cover myself, and he'd be fighting a HW much taller than him in me, i think turtling up + clinching could take me far in that fight at least, assuming im just trying to survive and not to win ofc.:bbb
