Roy Jones Jr vs Joe Calzaghe..Year 1995-2000..... Who Wins?

its a hypothetical fight mate, argument is good

good to see peoples views and thought

 

Roy Jones Jr by wide UD after 2000 it starts getting closer.

 

Whos Janes?

 

What after the forearm smash he hits him over the head with a chair?

 

At the end of the day Joe was honest with himself at the time; it's about time some of his fans were too.

 

Calzaghe was calling out Jones and Hopkins for years (many times during 2001-2005) ...but his detractors seem to forget this and brand him the ducker.

It has also been said Calzaghe was "fearful" to unify comon who was he scared of? Ottke was a joke and didnt want the fight..who else? Beyer, Lucas, Mundine? No way in hell Joe was scared of fighting them...they werent any better than the former champs he did face - likes of Reid, Mitchell, Woodhall and Brewer.

 

What is the point - even if someone managed to come up with a fantastic argument - you'd be ridiculed..

Calzaghe in his final fight was probably the toughest opponent Jones had ever faced in his career - certainly in the top 3.

As for the film aspect - maybe some people like to rise to the occasion??? The better the fighter - the better your performance? Joe looked less than stellar in quite a lot of his fights - put Lacy and Kessler infront of him - ones who were supposed to outbox him, ko him etc. What happens? He gives out one of the most oneside thrashings in a long time, and comfortably outboxes and confuses his nearest challenger.
To put it in perspective - Andrade gives Bute hell, probably everyone in the division hell - Kessler won Wide UD. Kessler never lost a round on all 3 judges cards before Calzaghe.

Win or lose - if Calzaghe thought that Jones could beat him - you'd see the very best of him, and I'd bet that prime Jones wouldn't be as happy to face him as he would be other opponents.
