    Yup

    Calzaghe would beat this version of RJJ with comparative ease.

    I think people are getting carried away here, Jones looked good yes but you have to view who he was fighting objectively.

    People are saying Jones has only lost a little, well... Jones has lost a little hand speed but all of the other things that made him a great fighter are at %50 of what he used to be.

    His ability to use his legs, to slip punches on the inside and most importantly he cannot place shots with pin point accuracy while simultaneously slipping the incoming. As well he does not throw fast accurate combinations anymore, the one or two times he threw multi left hooks to Tito's head they were laughable compared to what he was doing 6 years ago.

    The guy is a shell of his former self if you look beyond the still lightning hand speed and he would do well to stay far away from Hopkins or Calzaghe.

    Calzaghe would beat Roid with ease at this point.

    As for Roid vs. Hopkins. The winner would be anyone who doesn't order that fight. :shit:

    Roy has some serious Speed still.. and he COULD have stopped Tito..

    the only thing is.. as others said.. his workrate is SO low.. Calzaga has fast hands, is tough and would out work Roy..

    I'd still root for Roy as I really want to see Calzaga out cold like a bitch hoe.. I just dont like him
