    Joe in round 6. As Joe has stated he's gonna pick and sit down on his punches rather than throw flurries.

    Jones legs look really shaky in the openning 2 rounds and if Joe hasn't taken him out by then, then it will be around the 6th.

    Jones just doesn't have the movement to keep out of harms way for long enough and his chin is not there anymore.

    Could be reminiscant of Lennox vs Tyson.

    His chin isn't there? He took a clean left hook from Trinidad who hits significantly harder then Joe.

    Here's how I see it, If Roy fights, and can sustain it for 12 rounds Calzaghe loses this. Roy is too fast, his punches are straighter and he is the better boxer. That being said I think he will likely get his clock cleaned. Roy will mostly likely not be able to keep up with Calzaghe's work rate, and he will either get stopped or lose a lopsided division.

    Not only is he not Hopkins, he doens't have Hopkin's ability to not get hit cleanly off the ropes. Roy does have good defense, but the problem is he waits for his opponent to finish throwing their punches instead of countering. Old Roy would have countered Calzaghe into oblivion, and then come forward and knock him out. But this version of Roy will sit there and when Calzaghe is done throwing his combinations he will look to counter, but Joe will have already widened the distance.

    Holy shit Roy's hands are still so fast. Joe throws combinations in a way anybody could be fast, he doesn't bring his hands back after punches, and he doesn't put a lot behind them. Individually his punches aren't crisp whereas Roy not only is throwing crisp punches where each one lands solidly, but he also throwing them much faster. Its incredible.

    I doubt Tyson was never(even if he reached his potential) anywhere near as good as Roy is. And Calzaghe doens't not only have the power Lennox had, but he isn't as good as Lennox was.
