    He is my favorite fighter as well, but I don't see. I think Calzaghe is harder to hit now in some ways then he was in his prime, and Hopkins was able to use his right hand effectively against Tarver, while Roy remained gunshy. I think Tito likes a slow pace, and that suited Roy, but he really likes to wait until a fighter finishes up before doing his own thing. I think a guy with a high output like Calzaghe will be able to throw punches then get out of range before Roy can respond, or He will overwhelm Roy on the ropes.

    I pray to god Roy wins, I mean this would make him shoot up the p4p ATG poll 20 spots in my roster. If he were to beat Winky, and Hopkins and Calzaghe he would be in my top 5 all time, but Roy doens't have Hopkins' defensive skills, he doesn't have any greater an output, and he may have lost his greatest edge. His overwhelming speed.

    Hes still faster and crisper in the hands than Joe. Any fight now that usual Calzage output is gonna have to slow down because of father time. This might very well be the fight
