Jones would absolutely destroy Calzaghe in his prime. It would look like Jones Jr. vs. Bryant Brannon.
Its funny how everyone expected Joe to beat the faded Roy but now that it happened it is Joe's greatest victory and beats Roy any time.atsch Calzaghe deserves little credit for this win. Jones is a shell of his former self.
did you read this board beforehand?it was fairly split regarding the outcome.who said it was his greatest victory?for me thats kessler!
Calzaghe's team is smart for playing it safe for years and then adding big names to his resume when they were clearly passed it. It's a real shame that this fight didn't happen back in the late 1990's. It would have been a real challenge for Calzaghe. I thought that's what he was looking for.
Joe C Primed spand far longer than RJJ's, a short Prime, IMO, and fighting questionable opposition for 10 yers finally took his toll on his skills once he was mtach against skillfull boxer it showed his deficiencies- Tarver I..meanwhile Joe C is TCB, Byron Mitchell fight IMO started the Zenith of his Prime
No one including me is willing to acknowledge a fault in himself when a more agreeable motive can be found for the estrangement of his acquaintances.. the analysis you mention was befitting its subject and his intangible myopia and biased dogmatism. i can do no more.
lets put this in simple terms for the simple of mind and the jones groupies.. you use the 2 years age difference to denegrate calzaghe,do you not grasp how absurd that excuse really is,thats like getting in a pub brawl with someone 2 years younger and him whipping your arse only for you to retort with well when i was 27 and you 25 i would'a whopped ya!! its pathetic,what you cannot grasp is the fact that joe has aged better which ultimately makes him the better athlete/boxer right? he man handled jones to an exstent of which i nearly had a tear in my eye for the great american,but this wasnt a young buck knocking out the old guard,they are both old and credit must be given to calzaghe like it or not! i have no doubt had this fight happened at any time throughout there careers joe would have been right in there,im sorry if this hurts but the whole prime thing is intangible nonsense, jones was in great shape and coming off a domination of trinidad, yes hes old but the fight happened and proved one thing to me,this fight would never have been a jones domination at any time. ultimately jones was humbled and showed what a class act he is,i will never forget the memories he has given us,but hes not superhuman,never was.
Dude your a moron. Jones isn't shot. Do you even know what a shot fighter is? It's someone who basically can't get off punches. Jones was simply outfought and outsmarted, PERIOD. He was competitive for the first 6 rounds, he won the first two. He knocked down and hurt Calzaghe in the first round. He was landing punches reguraly for the first half of the fight. I've watched it 3 times already. Quit being stupid.
