    Toney was a massive hype job, fluked a win against a completely shot Nunn who boxed teh spots off him, look what Griffin did, and what did Griffin do aside from beat up Toney?

    Toney was also a junkie then too.

    Not a single fighter should be favored to beat prime Jones from 160-175. If you think otherwise, you are letting his past prime performances cloud your judgment.

    Anglo..... you are off your rocker.

    Calzaghe might see the end of round six..... if he's lucky.

    Ridiculous. Calzaghe would be highly competitive with Roy.

    Calzaghes never been knocked out or close to it, RJJ never fought anyone as bust, skilled or fast and Joe, explain how you come to this conclusion?

    Prime for prime, Calzaghe would be Roy's most difficult fight.

    I think Bob Foster in his prime would have the style, ablity and physical demensions to beat Roy...but that's not a given due to the fact that Roy has got to be one of if not the MOST talented fighter in the history of the sport....not the most skilled or technical but definitley the most talented.

    Actually Chris Eubank was a hype job he went to a decision with ****en RAY CLOSE!!!! :lol::lol::lol::lol::rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl RAY ****EN CLOSE. Then they had a rematch and HE ALMOST LOST AGAIN lmaooooo what a ****en Euro hype job Eubank was.


    Chris Eubank was past his best when he faught Calzaghe as he got his ass beaten TWICE IN ONCE IN '95 AND THE OTHER '96 RIGHT BEFORE CALZAGHE AGAINST STEVE COLLINS. After that he had to go up to Cruiserweight because he was so past his best and lost TWICE again to ****en Carl Thompson

    Thompson would have shattered RJJ glass jaw.

    Eubanks win over Benn is better than anything RJJ ever did, Eubank only went prime again when he fought Calzaghe again because prior to that, he was upset about Watson, eitehr way, RJJ ducked Eubank, Thompson,Calzaghe, Collins and Benn.

    Griffin LOL :patsch:lol:

    Calzaghe. You can say Jones was shot when they fought but Calzaghe was also way past his best.
    Calzaghe didnt beat Jones by blasting him out, he out skilled Jones.
    A prime Calzaghe would have KOd Jones but the old Calzaghe out skilled him.

    LOL, Prime Calzaghe couldn't bust a grape. LOL, who did he fight when he was prime, Eubanks, Biko, and other B level fighters and bums.
    No comparison!
    Calzaghe didn't come out of hiding until he heard that Jones had been KO'ed twice, the coward.

    Roy vs Joe prime for prime would favor Jones. Joe would present some problems but a prime Roy is by far more dynamic than the version Joe fought. A completely different outcome would have happened if these two fought 7 or 8 yrs ago.

    The only great win Jones has at those weighs is over Toney, and he had the perfect style to beat Toney anyways. I'm not fooled for one second Jones's long string of bums he beat at 175lbs, tons of guys in history had what it takes to KO Roy Jones.
