ROy on the ropes seems to not throw as many punches as he used to and he gets hit alot more along the ropes, and thats where Calzaghe high punch out put beats him IMO, but I can't see Hopkins beating him because he still faster than Hopkins and just as stylish... what made him lose against Tarver and GJ Hopkins doesn't do and thats crowding RJJ.
He ain't faster than Calzaghe now. He looked ok against a second rate fighter in Ajamu but nothing like at the level of Calzaghe.

Ajamu seemed like he was able to outmuscle Roy early on but lost heart. Calzaghe would be on him non stop for 12 rounds.

He would be lucky to hear the final bell.
Watch Calzaghe vs. Lacy then Jones vs. Ajamu the handspeed difference is quite signifigant in RJJ favor. I am not saying he could beat Calzaghe, but in the middle of the ring I don't think that Calzaghe could get off his combinations due to RJJ's footwork, and that Roy is way better at getting in and out than anyone who has ever boxed the (second best being probably Floyd MAyweather or Ray Robinson)which would give Calzaghe mucho trouble especially being a southpaw vs. Roy's cross.
