I guarantee that prime Toney ko's Calzaghe, Calzaghe isn't fast enough or hits hard enough to overwhelm Toney. Michael Nunn was faster than Calzaghe, in great shape, better skills, and he was countered all night by Toney, and after that he fell apart, but the point is that Roy has foughten two guys who at their prime were better than Calzaghe. Calzaghe has only foughten Kessler who is a great fighter, but not an ATG fighter. The only reason IMO Calzaghe would beat Roy is because Roy can't keep up with him in terms of the pace of the fight. Calzaghe is to relentless and he still can maintain that fast pace for every minute of every round. There would be a few pounds where Roy's superior speed and skill would shine through, but mostly it would be Calzaghe outworking him, much like Calzaghe outworked Kessler, but moreso.
I'm not sure you guarantee it
