    Regardless of roy jones jrs training, it all depends on his mindset coming into the ring. He could be in the best shape of his life but that isnt going to help him if hes gun shy. If he fights scared, he loses. Calzaghe will pump out punches all night long and Jones lets him and then he will lose a lopsided UD. If jones turns up in the right mindset, uses his right hand effectively then i see a possible tko for roy. Calzaghe is a south paw and we all saw him get caught by bhop in the first round with a right hand straight down the middle. If Bhop can land rights on calzaghe then roy can do it with ease. All he needs to do is turn up to win, not to survive.

    I am a firm believer that if you train hard you make yourself fight with a certain mindset. I think if you train hard it makes you focused, it makes you sharp. I truly believe Calzaghe isn't as great of a physical specimen as some of touted him, but that his training methods and focus are what make him great. I can't see Roy ko'ing Calzaghe, the one thing he doesn't have is his power of old. I think mainly because he is gun shy Roy takes steam of his punches so he can cover up quicker ala Winky Wright.
