I have a question for the posters that believe Calzaghe beats Jones prime for prime:

    How would, in your opinion, Calzaghe do against James Toney at 168 around, say, his 25th?

    A better question would be 'Can you Fed-Ex me some of what you're smoking?'

    Yeah, actually I think Calzaghe has a better time with Toney than Roy, prime for prime. He'd probably win a couple rounds.

    i third that ****... i moved to hawaii in january and been :smoke all day everyday:rasta ......


    but i think calzaghe fighting toney would be easier fight, and he would possibly do to toney what RJJ did.... but that doesnt meant i think he would beat a prime RJJ... it would have been a helluva fight

    Lucky... been a drought here in Cleveland for like 3 months. Rare to find anything. Chalked it up to election year.

    As to Calzaghe-Jones, primes, Jones KO midrounds.

    Didn't Toney get a gift decision to some smuck named David Tiberius? Yeah, I'm sure the young Joe would really be hard put to win on points against Toney. Easy decision win for the young Joe but prime Jones would be too much for him. He would put up a more competitive fight than Toney did. Toney looked pathetic in that fight with Jones, totally got clowned and dominated.

    A prime joe vs a prime jones, that being said joe with a granti chin, much harder punches, without the hand problems,,,easy call joe by late stoppage, an jones goes down in history as overrated, so it better that joe got ducked by jones at least for jones fans stand point

    The Toney that fought Roy was 'apparently' weight drained. Imo he was, he looked slow and lethargic and was beaten to the punch everytime. I've not watched that fight for years, but I remember it being totally 1 sided?

    I dunno man, I'd have to go with JC, too fast and too much movement, Toney prefers boxers who come at him in straight lines
