    No dought. I dont have zaggi beatin roy but yes sir he roy would work harder fighting zaggi then any of those guys he ran through. I cannot imagine zaggi taking a prime roy jones punch, I really dont know how good zaggi chin is I didnt see his last 2 fights but hes just a smaller man would not be use to that kind of primetime fighter with the weight diffrence but those other guys were not as good as slappy on any day maybe hopkins back in the day but he is very iffy fighter depending on who he is fighting and stop liking him after the echols fights

    Jones was a bit of a clown in a lot of fights and didn't always show his true ability. You talked about the Griffin fight, and that is a prime example. Jones destroyed Griffin in one round after he screwed up the first fight. I think Jones was one of those fighters who unless he was pushed, wouldn't show his true colours and would just fight half assed since he didn't feel the NEED to destroy an opponent.

    I definitely see him beating Calazaghe, maybe even by KO, considering he dropped him when he was well over the hill, but still a competitive fight as Calazaghe is very good and his handspeed, huge punch numbers and southpaw stance would be obstacles for Jones.

    xalzaghe wouldnt have a shot. be suprised if he would make it to the 5th or 6th round to be honest.
