Would a prime Roy Jones Jnr and a prime Bernard Hopkins have beaten Joe Calzaghe ?

Yes they would..... but joe is still great.

 

IMO Calzaghes prime was right at the end of his career, RJJ, Lacey, Kessler etc, not as early as the reid fight

As Calzaghe said, the Calzaghe of now have kicked the old Calzaghes ass

Old Calzaghe had much more power but the older Calzaghe was a lot more ring smart and used his speed and work rate

 

:dead

 

They would have beaten him, but the Calzaghe from the Lacy fight would have beaten anyone IMO, same sort of thing like I believe the Nigel Benn from the Gerald Mcclellan fight would have beaten anyone etc

 

Joe loses to them both.

 

styles make fights just cause he looked great against the overrated Lacy it doesnt mean he wouldve beaten anyone.

 

Likewise I doubt RJJ would have looked his invincible best against JC.

 

:think

 

:good

 

A Prime Jones and Hopkins beats Calzaghe easily, if you compare Hopkins past prime fights and Jones past prime fights to Calzaghe's prime fights than that alone will tell you who would win!!!

 

Calzaghe would beat them both.
If you also think of a prime calzaghe fighting them both then calzaghe stops them both.
I'm talking about the version where he had the KO power and had few injurys to his hands.
He was the ultimate package then.

 

Bull****,
Calzaghes prime was when he was around 30 when he had the KO power and the hand speed.
Watch his old fights you fool then get back to me.

 

Go watch some RJJ fights you dumb fool, he would've landed 50 lefthooks by the time Calzaghe threw a jab.

 

That fight of Calzaghe vs Jones tells us NOTHING on how the fight would have gone, a prime Jones beats Calzaghe something like 8 rounds to 4 or maybe even worst.
