    You seem mad that Jones stopped Lacy, and that some posters said Cal couldn't even do that. Just let it ride dun lol... Jones is old.

    NO. If jones give dawson an opportunity to fight him then he will get brutally kayo. Lacy is garbage. Lacy is too one dimensional and always attack the same way.

    Guys, you can't brag about robbing a 70 year old man, so why talk about a 'past it' Jones who has not been the same since barely beating Tarver, and after losing all the weight he gained to beat Ruiz.

    Don't know. Maybe Lacy is an elite fighter and I'm watching the wrong sport.

    What weight? The guy weighed 191 for the Ruiz fight and when he fought at LHW fight night he would weigh around 185. Please stop mentioning this stupid 'He lost 25 lbs of pure muscle' bull****. Tarver just dominated him.

    Jones was slipping before moving up to heavyweight. His conditioning and reflexes were declining but after the weigh drained he was no longer super man. Punching power gone, constant movements gone. It is hard for any elite fighter to stay on top of their game for so many years. They lose their hunger and train less. That is why Floyd should be respect in that area even though he is declinig too but at least he got great fundalmentals to keep him in the game. Joe have been fighting bums and defending his WBO title against WBO contenders Zzzzz. He got his first taste of fame when bhop and jones have been in the spot light for years. Joe Cal's win that made him pop was lacy. Enough said.

    at least jones have the balls to fight johnson and tarver something that joe cal didn't do. Joe c also ducked Johnson shamelessly. "divorce" "my hands hurt" . only elite prime fighter that joe fought was kessler and before kessler gassed out he was kicking joe's ass. Close sd win over bhop who a lot of people thought bhop should have won. An over the hill eubank, Jones and overated lacy? who else?

    I don't believe Jones has a chance at beating Dawson now....maybe like 2/10 chance but that's it....Roy is way past it and 40 years old. Dawson is in his prime and very young.....Although Jones is faster and stronger than Dawson Jones just doesn't have enough left in him at this point to be facing prime champions.

    I'm not ruling out the fight for Jones for sure, he could impress me in the Danny Green fight (who is not an amazing fighter, but ok). But I just don't see Jones beating Dawson now....but i'm nbot totally ruling it out.


    To the original poster.....don't bash on Jones........Jones would beat Calzaghe in his prime......Jones rates higher than Calzaghe on ATG list........Jones is faster than Calzaghe............Jones faced way better opponents than Calzaghe........Jones is stronger than Calzaghe..........Jones has a better chin than Calzaghe (yea i said it, stop basing his chin off of two fights where he got knocked out because of the weight shift) Roy was in with much better stronger competition than Tarver and Johnson before and never even went down once. It was because of the weight....u just don't want to believe it. You're just trying to bring down Jones and try to make Calzaghe look better.......naw that aint happening..We all know Jones is far better than Calzaghe. Calzaghe would get his chin shattered if he faced a prime Roy...but no he had to face a 43 year old Hopkins and a 39 year old Roy Jones......WOW THAT IS PRETTY ****EN BAD.......AND TO THINK THAT'S WHAT U CALZAGHE DICKRIDERS USE TO SAY CALZAGHE IS TOP 50 ATG.....LMAO GET THE **** OUTTA HERE......CALZAGHE HASN'T FACED ****.

    As a big RJJ fan and one who easily picks prime RJJ over any version of Joe, I had to downgrade your credibility when you said "....Jones is stronger than Calzaghe....."

    and when you said ".....Jones has a better chin than Calzaghe" your cred flew right out the window.

    That's not true. He weighed more than 191. There is even footage to prove how much he really weighed. If you hat him, cool . But stop the nonsense. Also it wasn't 191 from the scales, it was 193 -- but he actually weighed in, unofficially, at 200 even.

    Sort of odd seeing a Cal fan make fun of Jones like this. Usually they try to boost Jones and hope to God he actually beats Dawson, because that will make his loss Cal look better.

    Jones is stronger than Cal... not better chin though. But I am not one to think Jones has a bad chin. He fought B-Hop when B-hop was mostly offensive in his younger days. And he didn't get KD like Cal, even though Cal was never seriously hurt. the whole, chin thing, is a bit blown out of proportion. However, with that said, Cal in hindsight has the better long lasting punch resistance.
