    It's not uncommon for someone to use a fighter who has just taken a bad beating as a "tune up". That's nothing new.

    Dariusz was certainly no Frazier, but Roy was no Ali either, so it evens out.

    Losing to Gonzales and Tiozzo isn't any worse than losing to Griffith, Tarver, and Glen Johnson either.


    Having said that, I'd say Jones probably does have the better set of wins/accomplishments than Calzaghe.

    This post is nonsense.Calzaghe beat Hopkins legitimately.If Cal didnt win the fight,then who did.Because Hopkins didnt.He feigned injury and looked for a way out acting like a complete *****.That alone should tell anyone who was in control of the fight at that point.And the fact is,Calzaghe demolished Jones when at 36 he wasnt anywhere near prime himself.People like to overlook that.If you look at Calzaghes earlier fights like Eubank,Sheika,Brewer its clear his handspeed has depreciated significantly.

    post didnt make much sense...like when you say calzaghe was coming off the best win of hes career months earlier(arguably)...but then hopkins maybe comes out with hes best win a few months AFTER!

    In the fashion that he won, and let this go guy.. Roy's record, acheivement, talent, skill, speed, power... everything is above Calzaghe's, they are not on the same level... let it go !
