    What do you think it will do for his legacy being that Calzaghe has never lost and is #2 Pound for Pound in the world??

    Just wanted to see what many of you thought:think

    No, but he's currently #2 P4P and considering the state Jones is in right now, it'd be huge.

    It'd be a great victory. People who thought Roy was shot after getting brutally KO'd back to back and then comes back and beats the #2 P4P fighter in the world? That could only do wonders.

    wouldn't go as far as ATG top 5 but maybe ATG 10-20.

    Roy is an ATG. So is Joe Calzaghe. Very rarely does a fight between ATG happen. I know they are not in their primes, but ATG's are fighting none the less. True experts at what they do. Like I said before, if Roy wins by knockout, it will be the greatest knockout in boxing history, equalling Ali knocking out Foreman. It will be that big. Roy fans will own every forum forever.

    It says more for Joe than it does for Roy if he ends up beating JC. Put it this way, Calzaghe would move down more than RJJ would move up.

    i'd give him full credit for it. I think he's totally shot, and i give him a slight chance of pulling off the W.

    Crazyness. You mean top 3 all time great p4p?

    What is your top 3 p4p of all-time currently? Or even your top 10 while we're at it.
