The bottom line is Roy never fought anyone like Calzaghe. No one with the work ethic, hand speed and boxing brains that Joe had. So you can hardly shoot down Joe's chances because Roy beat a bunch of fighters who weren't Joe Calzaghe.

No fact just speculation.
Yes it was a "big deal" because RJJ was so far gone nobody expected that to happen.

I shoot down Joe's chances because RJJ was one of the greatest fighters I've ever seen in my life. It's not that Calzaghe sucks or whatever, he was a great fighter, but this is like saying Ali vs Tyson and it's just as simple to predict it's RJJ all day everyday over Calzaghe just like Ali never loses to Tyson.
