1) He has a "0". So since he never lost, it's easy for his fans to play "what if" games with anyone in history. 2) He just beat a shot Roy Jones. So in their minds, he would've beaten a prime RJ. That pretty much sums it up.
A Shot Calzaghe beat the most dangerous Jones we seen in years, and a Jones that was far bigger than him, on his own soil. He didn't just beat him, he humilated a fighter in his own generation, at the same rate of decline as each other, proving the class gap was always too much.
The big thing is that Roy couldn't figure Joe out. Thats largely mental, figuring out a fighter. Roy couldn't figure Joe out now, he wouldn't be able to figure him out then. Prime for Prime, it's a close fight, make no mistake about it.
Calzaghe UD. I try to be objective. However, i was hoping for RJ win. But hope and reality is different.
:rofl :rofl The replies i'm getting from our friends in the UK just confirms my beliefs. Keep em coming.
Joe gets credit for narrowly beating Bhop. A split decisoon 7-5 fight is hardly destroyed. I give JC a lot of credit for that fight. The fight tonight, sorry it looks good on the record but RJJ is pathetic at this stage.
A 43 year old hopkins didnt get destroyed. Hell except for a 100 slaps, he landed the harder cleaner blows in there fight.
You can't possibly be serious. Over the last 5 years Jones has gotten knocked out twice and looked painfully average in beating an over the hill Trinidad fighting at least 15 pounds above his best weight class while Calzaghe dominated Lacy, beat down Kessler, and got a W over Hopkins. Yeah, the rate of decline sounds about the same :roll:
