y are people saying joe would beat roy jones in his prime after?

Not at all. It wasnt until the 2nd round that it was exposed

 

I picked Roy to KO Calzaghe but I was wrong, reality set in after the first two rounds.

 

Chad might get KO'd but he sure is a live underdog!!!

If Joes slips even a little ChAd can really hurt him.

Go Chad.

 

the difference being that toney and hopkins went on to prove their class and both lacy and kessler haven't.

they were great wins for joe and credit for taking them, but until kessler or lacy (i doubt lacy will now) put themselves into the 'A bracket' they will always be shining moments in joe's career against fighters who never made it to the top tier.

maybe kessler can, and if he does it's going to give joe's win a lot more legitimacy.

 

Chads chin is a huge liability in my oppinion, as well as his output. Calzaghe can take a hell of a shot and keep coming forward.

Then again Chad has very ggod power, and is technically sound so it should be a good fight.

 

Why are people saying joe would beat roy jones in his prime after?

Who said Joe was in his prime himself? Had they fought 5 years ago or so I'd think the fight would've maybe been closer but the ultimate result would more than likely be the same.
:deal

 

I think that Roy is still a great fighter, he just does not have the STAMINA to maintian what he did in the first couple of round against some one that was as active as Calzaghe was.

Against anybody else he would have looked better.

 

Jones would have not gotten hit that often 5+ years ago, plus he surely would have offered more of an offense.
