    Thats why he milked WBO belt and was fairly irrelevant when he was prime, i always laugh when that even British documentary on Roy didnt mention Calzaghe as any kind of threat to him lol even they knew it.
    Roy P4P king Joe WBO champ lol

    Calzaghe would have won.
    The real question is could Jones have competed with Calzaghe? I think he could early on before Calzaghe makes adjustmenst, but would have lost clearly.
    Just look at how shot bloated end of career Calzaghe beat Jones.
    Look at how Griffin backed Jones to the ropes. Calzaghe would have done far more and unloaded fast combinations.

    What I do notice is how insecure Calzaghe makes posters like Aurafail69 feel

    The only adjustment Joe would have made would have been from his feet to his back. Hell I never liked Roy but the at least two probably three levels above Joe in their primes.

    Why do we still talk about either guy in general:bart

    :lol: Hes not the only one, but many struggle that Calzaghe beat Jones and Hopkins and that Wards best win is an unwell faded Calzaghe leftover, that old Calzaghe beat when prime. It bugs them.
    They tend to self pwn on the subject :oops:
