    Let's keep it all in one place folks. :D

    Also curious as to how a pre fragile hand Calzaghe would have done, with the same handspeed against a prime RJJ. All irrelevant really?

    Coulda, shoulda, woulda.

    Toyed around with him for a few rounds and when he got tired of Calzaghe standing in front of him with his hands down, just take him out with a combination.

    Whoever thinks Calzaghe beats RJJ in his prime is an idiot.

    RJJ by TKO in round 6 as I always picked it.

    Ok so joe is 36 , and Jones is what ? 39 ? or 38 right ?

    So like someone said in another thread , the 2nd question ..is Joe the equivalent of Peter pan ? :lol: Jones is not the same but is Calzaghe identical than he was a few years back ?

    No matter who that guy beats , even if there's a "day" of age difference. People will always find something to say.

    I'm not a fan of this guy (i don't like his style) but he rarely or never gets credit for anything. It is a bit odd. Hopkins looked better than he ever did against Pavlik. But when it wasn't the case against Calzaghe it's because he was not in his prime.

    It's a good observation but a bit flawed no ? If it isn't , how do you explain Pavlik ( how old is pavlik ? ) , getting owned & Hopkins giving the fans one of his very best performance ?

    A prime RJJ would of put his hands behind his back...and then gotten blasted by 12 shots from Calazghe for his trouble.

    Can someone please explain to me why ANYBODY thinks a prime Roy KO's Calzaghe?. Jones has NEVER stopped an elite fighter, so where is this myth coming from?. Whatever happened in a prime fight it would be points, and IMO Roy would probably take it 8-4 or 7-5, but i would not be shocked if it went similiarly the other way.

    I honestly have to say that Roy would Clinton woods him. ( Jones was past his best even when he whooped Clint.) Jones was too quick and powerful. when jones wanted to, he hit Calzaghe imagine a primed jones? get the **** out of here!

    Calzaghe has a chin that not iron but bends like cooper but not break like glass.
