Jones jnr v calzaghe prime for prime 168

There is absolutely no way I see Prime Roy losing to Calzaghe. At SMW, on a head to head level, Calzaghe's adaptability and pure onslaught of rhythmic punches that come in endless waves, his will and the craft he brings will overwhelm most SMWs. Not Roy. Roy is the master of rhythm and flow when it stems down to pure boxing and doing what he wants to do. Describing his tactics would not do justice, this guy really used his imagination. When it comes down to it, prime Calzaghe fails to impose his will on Roy in the early rounds and gets embarrased.

 

I'm familiar with Roy Jones Jr. but who's the other guy you're talking about? Calzaghe? Never heard of 'em, any good? j/k

 

RJR by wide UD

 

jones by ko

 

joe by in 12 115-113

 

People understimate what a prime Calzaghe and Jones were. A competitive fight that goes the distance, jones 116-112. Anyone who thinks Jones slaughters him is just plain wrong. A prime Calz was viscious,fast, and had good power because he didnt have hand problems. A prime RJJ was just something else.

 

I think this is pretty fair. Joe is not a walkover at any stage in his career for anyone. But Roy in his prime is maybe the best H2H guy ever.

 

Prime Roy Jones is too fast for Joe Calzaghe.

Calzaghe would not pin Jones on the ropes when Jones still had his legs, Jones would keep it in centre ring and the speed disparity would be obvious.

Joe loses a competitive but clear decision. Joe's leaky defence lets him down as he gets nailed with the cleaner punches. Calzaghe would make the fight fairly competitive because of his Southpaw stance which Jones was not as his best against.

Its absolutely pointless looking at the fight they fought as Jones's legs/stamina/durability/Reflexes had gone, he could not keep his back off the ropes.

In his prime Jones does not languish on the ropes and is capable of knocking you out if you have a leaky defence.

 

Prime for prime this could go either way, both are capable of beating each other it just depends mainly on how Calzaghe adjusts in this fight. The longer the fight went on the more I'd favour Joe. It's an early to mid stoppage for Jones or a Calzaghe decision for me.

One thing about Calzaghe is that he was one of the most adaptable top level boxers in the last 15 years. I don't think Jones had enough strings to his bow should Plan A not be working for him, plus he struggled with southpaws.

 

Jones lands the left hook and lead right early on and knocks Calzaghe down 1-2 times. Joe keeps on going though and Roy gets frustrated. He wins enough early though to take a UD 12: 4-5 point win.

 

It would have been an unbelievable fight and it's a real shame we never got to see it!!!

 

Prime RJJ mid rds KO. Too strong, way too fast.

 

Calzaghe ud..

Jones by wide ud my arse!!

Jones never fought anyone like a prime calzaghe.no way he could cope with the workrate,pressure and calzaghe with a punch...

 

I'd back Roy by KO. Joe was always wide open for a fast right-hand counter, and prime Roy packed a hell of a punch at 168. He has too much for Joe, too fast, too powerful, too skilled.
