    Wide points decision or emphatic early knockout.

    I'm talking the Joe that could punch a bit as well obviously

    does any one believe kessler or lacy are half the standard of jones, better yet the standard of the likes of james toney at super middle or hopkins and middle and jones demolished them

    Would you consider 8-4/9-3 wide?

    Also there are far more akward boxers than Joe throughout history.

    Kessler is a very good fighter. Not as good as the two listed but a vey good fighter none the less.

    Lacy pre-Calzaghe would have given anybody who was not a slickster a decent run for their money. Now....:-(

    I dont think that Roy would knock Calzaghe out, Calzaghe has a very good chin and good recovery powers. I would think the fight would go the distance.

    Let us hope so. But I doubt it to be honest. Roy doesn't have the legs anymore to keep Calzaghe from swarming him.

    i know that. which is why i admire the likes of brewer for fighting him twice in the same scenario, if you've watch that one, its also a clear robbery.

    My point is, even if he was robbed. He still wins in the eyes of the fans.

    See DLH-tito, casa-sta. cruz for examples. People respect them even in their loses because people knew who trully won the fight
