Prime Roy Jones vs Prime Joe Calzaghe @ 168!

Too many variables to say for certain. Jones with better legs and reflexes is, obviously, a much more dangerous fighter, and a more elusive one. But Calzaghe had much more power before the hand injuries and was more agile himself. Add to that, Calzaghe's workrate, and Jones would likely still need a KO or multiple knockdowns to win. Not saying he wouldn't put Calzaghe away, but as we saw last night, styles definitely make fights.

 

Roy Jones by UD in a close fight.I don't think jones stops a a prime JC.Remember it wasn't a punch that dropped JC it was a forearm and after that Jones didn't hurt him at all.

 

Jones by KO.

 

RJJ by UD.

He would not stop Calzaghe, because Calzaghe would not have showboated against prime RJJ like he did last night. And Jones did not go to KO the best opponents, he came to win and be secure of that.

Calzaghe would never have been as static as Toney was, but never have been able to fully pressurise Jones because Roy was too fast, too slick and the shots he was able to land sporadically last night would have been thrown three times as much and in bunches.

Calzaghe would be competitive, awkward and had some successes, unlike anyone else who fought prime RJJ. But he would have lost and lost by a comfortable UD.

 

An old Roy Jones knocked Calzaghe down in the first round so why not? Anyway, I think it would be from the volume of punches landed not from one single shot.

 

I'd give Jones the edge, but who knows...it could be close REGARDLESS of what the haters claim..they've been wrong too much to be taken seriously

 

And I'm talking about a prime JC.Remember this iisn't a Prime JC you were watching last night aswell.

 

A competitive fight but Rjj by decision

 

This would resemble Jones vs. Brannon. One guy trying to smother Jones but gets countered and KO'd
