    typical BS from you. Roy was on his way to being dropped by Griffin?? Haha what fvckimg fight where you watching?? Griffin took away the left hook, so Roy's plan B was to start landing the right which was pretty much at will.. Griffin was on his way out at the time of the foul and did a horrible acting job instead of getting up and having a point taken from Roy.. You have agreed with me on this in the past, but your blind hatred for Roy makes you backtrack.

    What about when he fought Harding, and had to adjust?

    Nothing wrong with fighting one way. Guys like Jones and Pac made a career out of it.

    If you are the most physically dominant fighter in your weight class you can fight one way.

    Calzaghe would never lose to Enzo, even now.

    Well a prime Calzaghe basically lost to robin Reid.joe had a good career.but frank ******s matchmaking screwed up what would have been a better legacy.ricky hatton benefited from soft matchmaking joe suffered.joe on his best day could have beaten some greats,but not jones in his prime.perhaps james toney or michalczewski.

    Calzaghe was probably one of the best at making necessary adjustments in a short time. He would adjust and beat RJJ in their prime, it might take more than 2 rounds like their actual fight, maybe 3 or 4 at the most.

    This is absolutely insane. Anyone who actually think Joe would beat a prime Roy either is royally ill in the head, or simply biased. Prime Roy vs Joe is like Pro vs Amateur.

    That is a bit far.. I think it would have been a hell of a war with Roy's speed and power being too much in the end.

    Was Jones past it when he lost to Griffin?
    Was Jones past it coming off arguably a career best win when he had a tough fight with Tarver?

    Wake up Herol.

    with tarver he clearly wasn't the same name, hence the tough fight.


    so you now admit that griffin was the sole name on your list.

    Now begin your failey argument with the disqualification fight with griffin.

    I'll do it for you-

    failey's now revised argument - " forget that shot shot jones lost to calzaghe, and recall that prime jones was DQed against Griffin!!"

    faileys argument shoots himself in the foot. "Calzaghe beats jones because jones was DQed against Griffin."

    So Jones coming off arguably his career best performance and win wasnt the same. Ok Herol :nut
