    who would win this fantasy match, griffin of the 1st jones fight who was unorthodox and gave jones a hard time before the dq against the prime version of Calzaghe that exposed jeff lacy, its a decent fight as u have griffin who was only 5,7 against a bigger seasoned joe calzaghe,
    i see this fight being all montell griffin i think he'd be too unorthdox for calzaghe and would be unphased by calzaghes power and workrate 116-112 on all cards for griffin

    Joe is mostly unproven at 175 but he's a level higher than Montell. He also has a very high boxing IQ and can adapt on the fly. I like Joe by convincing decision.

    Think JC would be too busy and would adjust after losing the first couple of rounds.

    I think very highly of Montell and think he is actually pretty underrated. With that said, I think Joe is a bad matchup for him. Montell was at his best when he fought guys that were slower than him that he could counter. The pace that Joe fights at would be difficult for Montell in my opinion. I have Calzaghe by UD although I think Montell makes him look bad at times.

    Calzaghe clearly wins, it's a no brainer.

    Crafty but Toney I don't think was all that motivated between the Prince Charles and Jirov fights. Perfect gameplan from mastermind Futch in first Jones fight that frustrated Jones
