    Insignificant.

    If you'll forgive me stating the obvious, Roy was a shell of the fighter he once was and he'd already been beaten more impressively by Tarver and Johnson.

    Enzo said they knew going into it Jones was gun shy. Ahead of time. He used the word "fear." Look what they did to him. They might as well have beaten up a guy in a wheelchair.

    Yes.And Joe knew that Jones was shot because he said it at least twice on record including in his autobiography.

    It's a decent victory but not totally insignificant. The guy could still punch.

    It was two old guys beefing up their retirement fund. It was a decent enough performance from Calzaghe but in all honesty it's not a very significant win.

    Yeah, that made it even more embarrassing.

    I firmly believe Calzaghe would have undressed Pavlik had that proposed fight happened. The fact Joe chose to fight Roy instead is shameful. The final insult of a horribly mis-managed career.

    As a fan of calzaghe's ability im still saying insignificant, he could have done so much more with the skill and talent he had but decided for the easy road for 90% of his career!

    I think this fight illuminated the almost unacceptable perception that prime for prime, Jones, Jr would have his hands full against this guy.

    His win meant absolute nothing. I cannot stress that enough. Nothing.

    As a huge Calzaghe fan i found that fight cringeworthy at best.
