    Exactly, imagine if Calzaghes hands were still fine and he was prime, Joe would have Ko'ed or stopped him within 5 rounds.

    If RJJ was clean, Joe would have stopped him in 2 rounds.

    one of these days we are going to both have to watch that fight again then compare scorecards
    Jones best wins:
    Hopkins
    Toney
    Tarver

    Benn best wins:
    G-man
    Eubank II*
    Barkley

    Jones opposition was better
    True, Jones was never very good technically, which is why he fell from grace as soon as his reflexes slowed down
    I can agree with this. Eubank's career also paralleled Jones's career when he got his Sky contract.
    I would argue, technically they were about the same, Roy's athletic abilities were better though
    Got a link for this?

    Basically you have no defence for my facts about RJJ.

    He beat fellow hype job and drug addict Toney, and a green Hopkins, those were his best wins.

    Benn beat prime and motivated Eubank, prime Barkley (who smashed a prime Hearns and was cheated against Duran) and he beat Gman who smashed RJJ.

    Let the promoter tell it ..Yet Jones was supposed to go to Joe ? And who can you beleive..This is the same Calzaghe that said that he'd never fight Jones after his KO losses because he was shot to pieces but still fought him any way ..I truly beleive neither man was going after each other because of where they were at the time ..For Joe it made more sense since he was not the household name he later became ..

    totally agree with you. a prime joe would have smashed roys china mandable to smitherines.

    roy jones folded like a lawn chair whenever the going got tough, he couldn't adapt and had no plan B.

    roy jones with the help of HBO, PED's, and ring magazine managed to pull the wool over the eyes of an entire nation of gullable fools.

    roy didn't want any part of nunn, mccllelan, prime calzaghe, eubank, collins, or DM, otherwise his glass jaw would have been shattered 10 years earlier.
