would a prime jones have beaten calzaghe?

without a shadow of a doubt

 

Ha. That's funny. he thinks I'm defending Joe.

 

Prime Jones loved a fighter that would come to him and try to punch with him. Being as how Jones was faster than Calzaghe, and had more power, I don't see Calzaghe winning more rounds.

Calzaghe has a lot of heart, which may be the very reason he would suffer a possible knockout against a prime Roy, because he would keep coming and not back off.

It sure would be very interesting, I think Roy takes it though.

 

This. Any attempt to do anything other than suffer a shut-out through inactivity against a prime Jones = KO loss.

 

This needs repeating. The only reason Calzaghe was not called on his fraudulent career earlier is that no one in America knew who the hell he was.
I have been going through my fights of lat 90's and they never even mention Calzaghe. One reason is the WBO was seen as such a fringe title back then. It doesn't mean he wasn't a good fighter...but he did take the path of least resistance. And we as fan should not idolize him for that.

 

if only Hopkins had got into the ring with JC when he was offered:smoke
