Calzaghe will not be able to keep up with ROy speedwise, but he won't have to, All he needs to do is put pressure on Jones like he did against HOpkins, and he will either KO Roy, or overwhelm him with punches. Roy doesn't have the slick defense or footwork possessed of Hopkins, nor does he have the stamina to withstand Calzaghe. If Calzaghe were more brash and tried to simply outbox Roy the whole fight then that is the only way I see Roy winning because he is still too quick for Joe on the outside, if he isn't scared to let his punches go. If he needs 4 or 5 rounds to really open up like he did against Trinidad then I see Calzaghe countering Roy's not fully commited punches, then Roy going into a defensive mode for the rest of the fight only trying to survive.
