Why?

What does Calzaghe possibly have that is gonna stop Roy? Calzaghe is open for every punch in the book unless you loop them like Lacy did and Lacy didn't once use his jab uppercut or body shots.

Calzaghe is good, but stylistically its a bad matchup for Joe. he doesn't do good against fighters that move and counter punchers with speed.
He might not have one of his entirely dominant performances as he did against Lacy, but Calzaghe's been in there with movers and dancers before, and eventually, he will get them against the ropes, and that is when he'll smother them with punches. Even if this isn't the case, i think his boxing is good enough, and we know in the fihghts where his hands have gone that he can do enough in a patient style to win fights. His guard's good, his chin's superb, personally I don't think many fighters can outwork joe in punches thrown, it will either take a guy with superb movement or a massive puncher to beat him, and at this point in his career, RJJ is neither.
