    Like tonight, Khan threw 550 punches, Joe, in his prime was almost double that.
    Lower hit rate, sure, but it was enough to completely destroy boxers.

    Roys not dodging 1000 punches.

    You took objection to me calling FMJ an American icon(That's all he is, he's not that well received outside of America)
    Manny is a Global icon.
    Adored by over 3 Billion people.

    there's a difference between fighting b-grade opponents and fighting a prime roy jones
    calzaghe was undoubtedly a great SMW, but along with war+en, did nothing to take on jones or Hopkins when it mattered

    war+en fighters are famous for not crossing the pond and finding out how good they are.
    the annoying thing about calzaghe, is he was better than any war+en fighter, or any of the germans from ottke through to sturm, who avoided that challenge

    Joe beat everybody at his weight.

    Roy and Bernard are the ones who jumped 168lbs

    Floyd - manny fighting is about where they are in their careers now
    like I said, 4-5 years ago a 50-50 split would have been fair (incl. PPV), but i'll be surprised if that happens now

    FMJ talked himself into/out of a fight just the other day with that interview.

    He's now not going to offer Manny 40 million?
    Hahah

    Manny can earn 30 million per fight fighting bums in china.

    I've never defended Floyd offering 40mill in the initial fight - it was scandalous offering that without a cut of PPV
    but i'd like to keep debating joe calzaghe if you're okay with that :good
    I understand why he polarizes fans, and there's a good reason for that

    These gents is happier than a two dollar hoe with a five dollar trick. Khan has improve a great deal and I like him as a fighter. I think he will present a problem for Mayweather early but will get broken down. He will be hurt by Mayweather and he still can't handle intelligent pressure. Devon couldn't put the right pressure on him.

    The Joe vs RJJ debate!

    I'm fine pointing out why joe would win.
    Prime for prime.

    - Joe was the busier of the two
    - Has a great chin
    - Likes to swarm *Something Young Hopkins nor Toney are capable of*

    I give the edge in speed, power and athleticism to Roy.
    That's not enough to beat prime Joe for me.
    Joe has superior stamina.
    Better fundamental boxing skills(Roys lack of skills showed when he lost his speed)

    so my point is, why are you giving joe a fantasy win over a prime roy jones when he had years to do something about it?
    it's like giving Floyd a UD over manny as a fix for the real thing. it doesn't count for anything.

    Joe doesn't need a fantasy win to cement his legacy.

    He went over to America and butt****ed one of your heros till he cried **** on the floor and made your other hero bleed for the first time in his career.
