Joe Calzaghe Vs Roy Jones Jnr. at 168lbs

Calzaghe UD 12 Roy Jones Jr. (7-5)

 

My first thought is it is a heck of a fight. My second thought is Jones would not take it.

 

Heh, when did he ever lead with a jab? Maybe in 2 or 3 fights.

 

He would do it for stretches. He even did it against Tony Thornton for about 45 seconds, before turning southpaw, before nailing him with a leaping left hook, before sending Thornton sliding across the canvas with yet another leaping left hook.

Roy did pretty much whatever he felt like doing, which would work to Calzaghe's great detriment. He is a terrible, terrible matchup for Calzaghe, although I think Joe takes a few rounds based on workrate and Jones' lamentable sitting back against the ropes.

 

Just for iamlegend Calzaghe ko1 ( on a serious note could go either way 60/40 jones by ud)

 

In the middle of the ring, I don't remember, but when either he or his opponent is pressed against the ropes, plenty of examples, when he's trading punches.

 

honestly i like calzaghe, but he doesnt stand any kind of a chance here, he's getting KO'd if he steps in the ring widd roy, and i'm not even really a roy fan... calzaghe's a great fighter, but he's never fought anyone near jones skill

 

Jones stops Joe late or wins a wide UD.There was IS NO ONE that can beat Jones a prime Jones at 68. Jones had the punch of a cruiser and the speed of a light middle.He was insanely fast and would counter Joe all night.Joe was good but he wasnt Jones good.Be real folks.

 

Jones by domination.

 

Just watch all of jones jrn's fights before the 1st tarver fight then watch all of calzaghe's pro fights..

I know who makes me shake my head in awe.

And his name aint joe.

Roy was ridiculous in his prime..Untouchable..Winning rounds without throwing punches.(vinny paz etc)

Joe is tough and one great fighter but before **** roy jones is or should i say was a FREAK of the ring..

Cazghe will be remembered great in his prime where jones will be remembered untouchable in his prime.

This all from a aussie with no agenda so dont shoot me down too much as its just my opinion..

People like jones jrn made me step in the ring.

 

Good points, except a prime Calzaghe had a lot of bang in his fists, far more than todays Joe... he dropped Eubank - no easy feat.

 

Precisley. Bearing in mind Jones was in the top 10 P4P for a decade!!! Thats got to be the longest ever surely.Jones is probably the best fighter i have ever witnessed in the ring in this current era.He was literally untouchable.

 

I am a brit and for sure jc is king at the minute but imo rjj still takes him out hes just 2 fast and more to the point to strong. Jc has an awesome work rate but imo not the greatest on his feet. RJJ stops jc he is just to strong if kessler can hit jc and hurt him whats rjj going to do to him and that a fading rjj prime for prime its no contest dont even go there
