    A tall order 10-15 years ago. Jones' footspeed has diminished though, so it's not unreasonable to expect Calzaghe to be able to land punches, and alot of them. Still, Jones' is an effective counter-puncher with great handspeed. Joe will be prepared for this, and his superior footwork will make the difference.

    Just Kessler...I re-adjusted the post for Hopkins...but yes in my book, Calzaghe outboxed Kessler 8 rounds to 4, therefore he schooled him !

    But...

    It took Calzaghe almost his entire career to show us what he's really capable of....

    As long as Roy's legs hold up, Joe IS NOT schooling him. Joe cannot outbox Roy, I find it funny that you think he can :lol: He has to beat him like he beat Hopkins, by outworking him. Hopkins showed early in that fight that as far as boxing skills are concerned, Joe doesn't measure up. :deal

    im gonna go with 4-5, roy i think will win the earlier rounds mainly because he won't have to worry about Joe's punching power but i think Joe will win the rest because Roy's legs are just about shot and he won't be able to keep up

    Jones has a Glass Jaw and is scared to get hit. Calzaghe will be throwing a lot of punches and Jones ever since his two brutal KO losses goes into a shell when fighters punch back because he is afraid of getting KOed again. Jones is done and has been for a while. This fight is a complete joke.

    If Jones keeps it in the middle of the ring early, he can pick Calzaghe apart and counter him. Thats early. I feel it can potentially go real bad for Jones late though. :deal

    If anything Jones is much more intelligent now than he was then(if thats even possible) The only thing I see him lacking in is his stamina, slightly in other areas. But he's still a master of timing and distance. He's still extremely fast as well...

    Good post ! Calzaghe is like a hyperactive and awkward man to fight, with very good athletic ability but his overall boxing skills are not in the same class as Hopkins or Jones.

    I disagree. Joe got into a groove in the middle of the fight but I feel it was much closer than you. Kessler won the early and late rounds. It was a good fight certainly no schooling....**** ask TFFP or Dane Pugilist I think even they will agree with me:yep

    Jones has had trouble against Southpaws. He was knocked down by Lou De Valle and then had 3 tough fights with Tarver including one where he was brutally KOed. This fight should have happened 5 years ago.
