Roy Jones Jnr stepped up his bid to fight Joe Calzaghe after he overcame fellow veteran Felix Trinidad at Madison Square Garden.

The 39-year-old believes he still has what it takes to compete with boxing's best three years after being written off as past his prime.

And the American eight-time four-weight title-holder believes a showdown with Newbridge's undisputed world super-middleweight champion Calzaghe is the perfect way to prove it.

Jones and promoter Don King claimed they would be flying to Wales by private jet in an effort to ratchet up the pressure on Calzaghe and his promoter, Frank Warren, to agree to a fight in Cardiff, either after the Welshman has fought Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas in April, or as replacements for the 43-year-old Hopkins.

"We're going to Wales in the morning on a (Boeing) 737,'' King said on Saturday night.

Jones added: "I'm definitely looking to make that fight and I'm going there tomorrow.

"I'll fight anybody, anywhere, anytime and if Hopkins-Calzaghe finishes how I think it will, I'll even go to Wales and fight. I don't care.'' Jones was delighted with his night's work, particularly in the face of criticism he was too old to be in the ring.

He twice knocked down 35-year-old Puerto Rican Trinidad, who himself had come out of a near three-year retirement, to win a unanimous decision after 12 rounds.

"All my fans around the world said I was done,'' said Jones, who won the fight 117-109, 116-110, 116-110 on the judges' scorecards.

"But you never know when you're going to be here, or when you're going to go, so you can never know when it's your time.

"I had a great training camp and great sparring partners and I'm pretty much Mr Unstoppable.'' Jones has NO CHANCE of facing Calzaghe before or instead of American Bernard Hopkins, that deal is DONE as Calzaghe revealed in his exclusive Argus column on Friday.

Our man Joe will face Hopkins in Las Vegas on April 19, the fight to be confirmed by Frank Warren at Planet Hollywood in Leicester Square, London, on Tuesday.

However, Jones could be a potential opponent for what Calzaghe promises will be "my last fight" later this year.

Jones' seeming willingness to fight in Cardiff may tip the scales in his favour as Calzaghe chooses an opponent from several big-name Americans.

Jermain Taylor has already expressed a desire to face Calzaghe in what could be another big showdown in the USA, while the fight the boxing neutrals would like to see is Calzaghe facing American middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik.

Pavlik is currently the hottest property in US boxing.

Calzaghe commented: "A lot of big-name American fighters are calling me out now and it's great because two years ago they didn't want to know.

"First off I need to take care of Bernard Hopkins and then we'll make plans for my next and possibly last fight."

Meanwhile, undisputed World Super-Middleweight Champion Calzaghe has been voted by the public into the top 100 Sporting Icons of all Time in the magazine Sport.

Sport readers were invited to vote for their favourite sportsmen and -women who have gone above and beyond in the pursuit of sporting greatness.

Calzaghe came in at no 60 - ahead of legendary sporting figures like Joe DiMaggio (94) Bobby Charlton (100) and boxers Henry Cooper (99), Evander Holyfield (79), Lennox Lewis (88) and Sugar Ray Leonard (75).

Legends like Peter Sampras (27), Babe Ruth (21), Jesse Owens (15), Michael Jordan (4), Pele (2) are ahead of Joe, and at no 1 is the man regarded as the greatest sportsman of all time: Muhammad Ali.

Sport said of Calzaghe: "The amiable Welshman enhanced his reputation further in 2007, with the 21st successive defence of his world super-middleweight title. Now undefeated in 44 fights, Calzaghe can consider himself one of British boxing's all-time greats."

Calzaghe said: "After ending a fantastic 2007, I'm starting 2008 in great style with being recognised as one of the top 100 sporting icons of all time by Sport.

"To be ranked alongside boxing legends and some of the greatest sportsmen in history is a real honour.

"I do not think that I should be above Sugar Ray Leonard, who is one of the greatest fighters ever, but I'm stunned that the public think that I am.

"Of course, Muhammad Ali is rightly at number one as in my eyes he is the greatest sportsmen ever, no question."
