Joe Calzaghe's defense is not good enough to beat a prime Jones/Hopkins or a Toney

    If a past prime jones can KD Calzaghe, imagine what a prime just would have done. Prime Jones would have finished Calzaghe.

    C'mon...... Cal wasn't even 36 yet and RJJ was 2 months shy of 40...... quit splitting my hairs.

    Besides look at JC's groovy moves in the Jones fight....... he's practically a black man himself........ Nah, forget it.

    If you are gonna call Calzaghe 37, you need to call Jones 40, Jones' birthday was closer. They are 3 years apart, not 2.

    You can also add at the time of the fight Calzaghe had boxed over 100 rounds less than Jones...

    Look at the weight progression too.

    Jones 154-168-175-HW-175

    Calzaghe 168-175.

    Not only was Jones older but his body had way more miles on it.

    What I don't understand, is why Calzaghe can be shot at 36 just moving up one weight class., but Jones can't be shot at 34 after starting at 154 going all the way up to HW dropping back down from HW to LHW.

    If he would've dared step into the ring with RJ,Hopkins or James Toney in their Prime

    That Fraud would've been on the canvas counting the little stars going around his head

    He stood away hiding in the UK for a reason

    He knew better then to challenge his superiors

    Who hasn't beat the hell out of shot Roy? Anyone that fought him that had a pulse destroyed Old man Jones.

    That is hardly unbiased..

    He talks about Joe not being prime but doesn't even mention the fact that the "legends" he beat were not only older, fought more rounds, and covered more grounds in terms of weight were not prime as well.

    I can handle a past it Calzaghe beat a shot Roy Jones... But don't say a past it Calzaghe defeated the legend Roy Jones, without mentioning Roy being past it, If Joe was past it, Roy was dead.
