Its funny how people say Roy is naturally so much bigger than Trinidad, even his walking weight is only about6-7 pounds heavier than Trinidad'a. People forget Roy fought his first 21 fights and first 4 years at 160 and below 154(he fought most of his earlier fights before Hopkins at 154). Roy didn't go up to LHW originally because he couldn't make weight at 160, 168 hell when he was making 160 or 154 the weigh-in was on the morning of the fight. Not only that, but Roy hasn't had all the power he used to have, and I thought he would have KO'ed Trinidad with a flash punch, but he clearly never tried to follow up when he hurt Trinidad, and his trademark is to carry fighters past the finish line. Could he beat Calzaghe? I doubt it because Calzaghe fights a too fast of pace and Roy wouldn't be able to keep up stamina wise, but if Calzaghe ends up fighting at a slower pace Roy would stand a chancebecause he is still much faster than Joe, in handspeed at least. However, against Bernard Hopkins he has more of a chance because where Bernard's style does well in luring in Calzaghe and causing him difficulties I think Roy's more clever offensive skills would make an interesting fight with B-Hop. Both of them fight mentally so quickly, but the difference is that Bernard's body can still keep up to the pace of his mind while only Roy's hands seem to be able to do what he really wants to do.

As for Trinidad I've felt that he fought the wrong guys in B-Hop and Wright, and that against both of them he was given the wrong advice about how to fight or they would have been a little closer. He always had the power, and he has pretty good skill, but he is like Mosley in that he doesn't ever give up, but he sticks to his guns too much andpartly its his training or success in the past, and partly he can't adjust well enough. Against Hopkins he wasn't changing up his style and thats why it became more and more one sided as the fight progressed, and same with Wright because its easy for great tacticians to realize in a few rounds that this guy really can't do anything else, and once Roy figured that out the fight was over. However the large majority of the guys out there wouldn't be able to beat Trinidad because against almost everyone his power and skill are as overwhelming as his left hook.
