Could Joe Calzaghe even make it the distance with a prime Roy Jones?

    I just looked it up. Apparently..."would" and "could" are different words.

    You could have tied one of Roy's arms behind his back and he would have schooled Joe without breaking a sweat and still got to the gym for three hours of hoops later that night.

    Joe never had any head movement and would have been unable to avoid catching lead right hands to his grill and would have gotten stopped early.

    Complete and total mismatch.

    It depends how Calzaghe would fight against Jones. A knockdown or Mid/Late TKO is very possible for Roy Jones, but like I said it depends how Sloppy Joe fights. Either way Jones would win this fight.

    I'm thinking very late rounds stoppage to Roy. But Calzaghe wouldn't have been disgraced.

    By a forearm to the snout. Roid should've been disqualified for his unsportsmanlike shenanigans.

    Yes sir.

    I agree with Steward: Calzaghe's style would give Roy trouble at any point in his career.

    Uh, he fought a prime RJJ :patsch And destroyed him, so...

    Calzaghe = top 10 ATG.

    RJJ = yank hypejob/juicer.

    Exactly. He definitely could.
    Would he? I think so. I don't think Cazlaghe would get over-confident or reckless against a prime RJJ

    Joe always seems to get beaten in the fights that never happend! But a prime RJJ might be the only one who could actually do it if was real
