    My brother argued that the result would be similar Calzaghe would slap and run. I argued my case and then he said 'it might be close'.

    In my opinion Roy Jones completely destroys Calzaghe on points, in his prime, or by a first round KO.

    Calzaghe is over hyped in the UK in my opinion he beat a un-prime Chris Eubank, where Eubank lost his following two fights and retired. No one else really stands out on his record. I hate that people think he is a 'legendary great fighter'

    Please vote on the poll. Really want to know what you guys think.

    No pole on that one. Shall I keep this thread alive get a percentage? Or ask a mod to kill it?


    Mods kill the thread.

    First sentence is correct.

    The rest of the post is BS.

    Roy is (was) just too good at 168.


    More speed, skills, power.

    I'm a fan of Joe, but Roy was on a different level.

    Not sure how you would arrive at that conclusion.
