Who was the better fighter overall: Roy Jones vs Joe Calzaghe

[Omalsi11]

Calzaghe does not even have better fundamentals than Roy Jones. And that is saying something. People who were watching boxing within the time frame of Roy's career can probably confirm that after the Ruiz fight he was looked at as one of the best fighters ever. No kidding. And it's so funny how that is ll in the rearview now. Those losses after moving back down really cost him in terms of how people look back on his career.

Tunney and Tunney_ are not the same person.

Boxing_prospect just made a parody alt.

How could Calzaghe be a better fighter? Roy has single wins on his resume that can eclipse several of Joe's title defenses altogether.

Anyone who has any logic would say Jones...

Roy Jones hands down.

Better Resume, better PPV. Incredible talent. - Jones

Achievements? Jones with Belts from 160 to HEAVYWEIGHT.

Guy was incredible in his prime. Someone said Joe is the better boxer. I didn't know slapping was boxing? Failed.

In his prime, Jones would make Joe look ****** and beat him probably UD.

[WESS]

Roy Jones Jr...........

Better everything.

Currently Joe Calzaghe.

Overall prime for prime; etc. then its easily Roy Jones Jr.

I think any realistic person that follows the sport of boxing knows that a prime roy jones will ALWAYS be better overall than a prime calzaghe.

Even though roy is past his prime I STILL give him a legit shot to beat calzaghe...it could happen...

A prime Roy Jones would win via UD in my opinion.

THIS CURRENT roy jones either loses or wins a close decision.

depends what your definition of boxing is, if its slapping like a lil girl then it goes to joe

[THE REED]

A prime Roy Jones Jr probably beats a prime Joe Calzaghe, but it wouldn't have been an easy fight for him.

As for the steroids thing, well it breaks my heart that Roy was found using anything, even if it didn't really affect much. He should have known better and it taints his record.

you obviously dont know exactly what happened...

to be as brief as possible... he tested positive for a chemical that was, LEGAL at the time he was using it. It was sold at GNC stores across the entire United States... 4 years later they banned it, went back and tested his results again... and THEN they found it...

and yes I have proof.

Thread ender there. As you know, it's a lot easier for some folks to lie than to use facts as long as it's beneficial for their argument. The substance was not even a steroid anyway.
