    Both Ward and Calzaghe would have given various versions of Jones a good run for his money but not the juiced up version of him . Jones was virtually an extremely fast Middleweight with the power of a 168 guy .

    RJJ dominates every single fighter 154-175lbs.

    You could go back to Ward, Calzaghe or anyone else. None is touching prime Roy Jones Jr.

    Hilarious how anybody would even mention Canelo unless they are complete noobs.

    Canelo barely qualifies to carry Roy’s spit bucket. Wtf are you talking about

    It's been a long time since I knew who were the trolls, the casuals and the hard of thinking.

    No way Canelo or his team quit when they've already got the cards filled out in his favour.

    Ward would get embarrassed too slow without enough power to keep RJJ honest.

    Kovalev maybe a punchers chance but I doubt it... RJJ coming back down from heavyweight took a lot out of him he was never the same.
