    Calzaghe's diehard fans are among the most delusional clowns this forum has seen.

    Calzaghe's run makes Wilder's look like Usyk's.

    "Super" Joe loses emphatically to Jones and Toney, and 8-4 to Ward.

    Loses to Prime Roy. Roy had nasty power combined with the otherwordly speed, probably stops Joe in a crazy crazy fight because Joe will come to win.

    20% chance for Joe

    James Toney.. Which one shows up? Both have the tools to beat eachother. Toney can be out worked, Joe can be caught with counters.

    50% chance

    Andre Ward.. Both are each others kryptonite. Ward can smother Calzaghe's workrate abit with his jab and clinch game. Joe can score points and sneak rounds.

    50% chance

    Ward would beat James Toney by Jabbing and moving, and Roy would beat Ward by just pot shotting him.

    TLDR

    Roy > All three
    Ward > Toney but = Calzaghe
    Calzaghe = Ward = Toney

    He loses to RJJ, Ward is 50/50 and Toney is a tough one because he was never consistant, I'd expect Joe to outwork him.

    Again, as deeply uncomfortable as it makes his fanboys feel and as desperate as they are to memory hole it and act like it doesn't matter and it isn't very important, Roy is a steroid cheat and so is Toney. They cheated by artificially enhancing themselves with performance enhancing drugs which make you stronger, punch harder, faster, increase your stamina, enable you to recover faster from hard training and train for longer and recover from injury quicker.

    This 'prime' Roy you're all referring to was a steroid cheat who was artificially enhanced and wasn't even being tested at all for PEDs for the first 11 years of his career and his supposed decline coincided with the introduction of stricter PED testing in the US so it's not even a fair fight between him and Joe because Roy is a ****ing PED cheat and you can't ignore that, act like it doesn't matter or like it doesn't give him a huge unfair and illegal advantage just like you can't act like driving a foot race in a car whilst your rivals are running on foot doesn't either :facepalm:

    If Joe was a PED cheat like Roy is and jousted roids in his ass to artificially enhance himself these exact same clowns would crucify him on a molten cross for it, would use as a scythe to tear his entire legacy into shreds, and you would never hear the end of it from them

    But they give Roy a complete free pass for it, memory hole it, when you remind them of it still continue to completely ignore it like it doesn't matter, isn't extremely important and unfair and wouldn't give Roy a huge advantage over Joe :facepalm:

    Roy had already been given a big head start and been blessed with huge advantages from birth but that wasn't enough for him he had to joust roids in his ass and cheat to gain even more which in a sport as inherently dangerous as boxing and far too many ring deaths and tragedies have already occurred in infinitely worse than anything Joe did or you hate about him and there is zero argument against that and you know it too.

    Roy in their own words is the most physically gifted fighter ever but they give him a free pass for artificially enhancing those gifts and cheating and then they expect you to take them even remotely seriously :facepalm:

    It wasn't Ripped Fuel that was one of the lies Roy and his team made up and he wasn't being tested at all for PEDs for the first 11 years of his career and even after popping dirty he wasn't being tested in some fights if not many. Clinton Woods said there was zero testing for their fight :lol:

    Go read the many threads about it he was so obviously lying through his teeth and he was so obviously a juicer. He tested positive for PEDs and as much as you want to believe otherwise and completely ignore that and act like him being a proven PED cheat doesn't matter and should be memory holed and Joe isn't a PED cheat that actually happened. And so too was Toney

    Nothing posted by anyone on a thread here is generally proof of anything IMO. Too many posters have their own agendas.

    There are threads with people who have extensive experience with steroids and who are extremely knowledgeable about them explaining in depth why the Ripped Fuel excuse was BS. They weren't haters or people who want to believe he's guilty. Every PED cheat has an excuse, that it was a supplement, if Roy is innocent they must be too

    And yet, none of them really know. Just their best guesses. Grain of salt for me.
