I don't think its as easy as that, and its not a style that Calzaghe has done all his life which makes it all the harder. Calzaghe likes to come in at timed intervals not all the time, and Roy can catch him if he does that. Also if Roy keeps the distance between them it doesn't matter how many punches Calzaghe throws, and if Calzaghe is just going to come in and throw wild punches then Roy will counter him. I think all Roy needed was a ego booster again, and I believe he got it though undeservingly against his last opponent. He has lost alot of his power, but he is still strong, skilled, and fast enough to beat anyone on the right night.
