Did anyone watch the fight versus Roy Jones Jr last night? Absolutely epic fight. A classic in every sense of the word and Calzaghe has is still undefeated and finished his career off in style. He's got nothing left to prove.

How about a rematch vs Mikkel Kessler?  :)

I watched it as best I could on a stream (went in and out).  What I was able to watch, except for the flash knockdown in the first, Calzaghe thoroughly dominated Jones, in very entertaining fashion.

Must have been tough for Jones, because Joe showboated in much the same fashion that Jones used to when he outclassed opponents.  Really impressive that he ended his career with wins over Hopkins and Jones (admittedly past their primes, but impressive nonetheless).

Fun fight to watch.  Can't wait to see it again next Saturday on HBO.

It wasn't that epic, Joe beat the bag out of him and won every round but the first. He definitely deserves to be tied in with Hopkins and Jones as the best middle-light heavyweights of this era.

Only person I'd want to see him fight now is Chad Dawson, but he really has nothing to prove.
