Prime Roy Jones vs Prime Joe Calzaghe @ 168!

Jones by UD
9-3 rounds give or take

He is too fast for even Joe prime for prime. Joe wouldnt be able to figure him out

Basically it would be like the first 2 rounds last night except for 12 rounds

Jones by convincing UD or maybe late KO, though i doubt it

 

You are a nutcase. And utterly wrong

Goodnight

 

Calzaghe SD.

 

Calzaghe was the better fighter at 168. All four belts and 21 title defenses.

 

He did accomplish more at the weight but he was not by any means the better fighter.

 

One thing is for sure, neither are in their prime, and Joe obliterated Jones.

That being said, Jones has lost more obvoiusly, but Joe would have been the toughest test of RJJ career, and vice versa.

Jones has lost big fights, Joe has not, I think Joe would probably win a thin decision. When talent is close, fundamentals play the deciding role, Joe has better ones.

 

Roy would win every round en route to a late round TKO.

 

judging these fighters based on their styles:

joe is a very tricky southpaw...he has quick hands, his stance is awkward (albeit funny), and it is hard to figure him out, he is also a busy fighter and always wins via accumulation of punches.

roy, on the other hand, aint reluctant to put on combinations during his prime due to his unbelievable speed and reflexes, he's very slick and hard to hit, and beats up his opponents as if he's playing ball.

imo, i would have to stick with rjj beating joe prime for prime, but it would be an entertaining, fast paced and competitive fight, with joe getting at least 4 or 5 of these rounds but RJJ would still get the nod from the judges
