Calzaghe Vs Roy Jones Jr?

Question

Firstly would you like to see that fight and secondly in your opinion who'd win

Answer 1

Calzaghe would annihilate Jones.

Answer 2

My opinion stays the same for both answers.  I would say Calzaghe wins hands down.  After watching most of the matches for both fighters I would say Jones has deteriorated quite a bit from his hay day but Calzaghe seems to still step up in every fight.

Now if we are talking about 10 years ago I would have told you Jones wins the fight 9 out of 10 times.

Answer 3

I wouldn't mind seeing that fight. It would be interesting to see what Jones could do at his present state against a threat that's bigger than Felix Trinidad.

Personally, I think Jones would cost himself the fight against Calzaghe. I just think he wastes too much valuable time when he's in the ring. Just like in his fight against Trinidad, I was a little worried in the early rounds, because I thought Trinidad had the lead and it seemed that Jones was playing and waiting around too much. When you are behind or seem to be behind, you can't just sit around and waste time. All you are doing is making it easier for the opponent to cruise to an easier victory. This something I think would happen again, if the two ever met. I could see Calzaghe leading early and Jones not doing enough or waiting too late to win.

Answer 4

Calzaghe, he's in his prime (well... close to that), whereas Roy is losing it repidly.

Answer 5

I wouldn't want to see this fight until roy fights a true light heavy/super middle contender or even kelly pavlik for that fact.

i would have to go with calzaghe 6 rounds to 4 with 2 rounds being even. Joe would make it a interesting fight and roy would win some rounds, but I do believe he would want to play it safe and not try to engage in some serious action, it has never been his style to. Roy would have a chance but i would have to say that I don't think he would try to go all out for glory like calzaghe would do.

Answer 6

First off, Jeff Lacy does not hit as hard as Roy Jones.

Second, I'd like to see it because it would be a good match-up between two skilled guys.

Thirdly, while I don't think it would be the blow out it would have been had these two met when Roy was COMPLETELY dominating the super-middleweight division - Roy still does everything better than Calzaghe....he still has faster hands, moves better, and hits harder - plus he has way more world class experience.

It wouldn't be a shut out like it would have in 1996, but Roy would still build up a lead early and coast to a decision.

Answer 7

i would like to see them fight. jones is naturally bigger and still has above average hand speed. calzaghe is a great fighter as well and undefeated at that. i would have to give the edge to calzaghe right now. hes undefeated and looking very good doing it. i would in no way count out jones jr. i actually give roy a legitimate shot at winning and would not be shocked at all if he did beat calzaghe but for now, calzaghe gets the edge.

Answer 8

i would like to see it. calzaghe`s record is really padded and i think he is overrated. he has never fought a top opponent. roy jones looked refreshed in his last fight against tito. calzaghe doesnt have knockout power. jones still has great hand speed and power so i would say jones ko

Answer 9

I really want this fight to happen.  I would have liked to see Hopkins and Jones fight, but now, it's a lose-lose for Jones.  If he wins, everyone will say, "Hopkins was past his prime" and if Jones loses, well, they'll say worse.  But I really want Calzaghe to destroy Hopkins and then Calzaghe and Jones to fight.  

This will be a great fight for Jones.  This fight will be similar to the Trinidad fight for Jones, but Calzaghe is smaller than Trinidad.  And we all saw what Jones did to Trinidad.  Trinidad is a heavier puncher than Calzaghe, too.  This is a perfect fight for Jones to shine, this is why Jones is calling Calzaghe out!  

Jones will knock Calzaghe out within 5 rounds.

*** I also respect your opinion, but I think you are WAY off here!  And I'll give you my reseaoning.  Roy Jones has fought bigger/heavier guys his entire career.  He kept moving up in weight classes and still he had power in every weight class her fought in, even heavyweight!  There is absolutely no way Jeff Lacy or Joe Calzaghe would last 7 round with Roy Jones Jr, NO WAY!!  

I want Roy to fight Calzaghe even more now!  You've got me fired up! :-D

Answer 10

The fight now would be uninteresting,Calzaghe and Jones camps should have got this on yers ago when Jones would have ko'd Calzaghe inside 12 rnds!

Answer 11

Question one : Yes would love to see that fight!!!

Question two : Roy would spank calzaghe like Mista did Celly in the Color Purple , Roy is Bigger , Faster and Stronger , People soon forget how good a Champion he was , everyone loses after time even the Greatest (Ali) , But now Roy is back with a Vengeance, He is hungry and eager to show why he was once the pound for pound title holder... those of you who are sleep on Roy Jones Jr. , will soon have a Rude awakening
