    maybe he is showing sportsmanship by giving credit to his opponnent. I think its rational to say that either man has a chance in this fight and it will help either's legacy. I'm looking forward to it.

    I don`t believe he`s scared. He is simply showing a bit of respect and class unlike that clown Hopkins.

    to be fair, stylistically joe calzaghe is a nightmare for jones, so i understand jones saying he believes Joe calzaghe is potentionally his toughest opponent.

    in my opinion p4p its either James Toney, B-hop or JC

    Yes, I think Jones is hyping him so a Jones win will be all the more impressive.

    showing respect and hyping joe up a bit so improve it if he wins and it gives him something to fall back on when he loses.

    It actually could be true, I would put Calzaghe somewhere with Toney, Ruiz, Tarver, and Johnson

    Jones is a Glass Jawed idiot. He is just talking Calzaghe up in case he wins. Jones tried to make John Ruiz sound like George Foreman for the same reason. Everyone knows Ruiz is garbage.

    That's his opinion, if he sees him as top 5 on his list then so be it, this is RJJ talking he has the right to say whatever he wants.

    This is FAR better than Calzaghe recently saying that RJJ is not shot at all.

    I think he's bigging up Joe so when he does win people won't take away from it by calling Joe a bum, or overrated.
