That uppercut did nothing but land, it had no effect.

On the slow motion replay, it really did land with some force but when you watch it in real time, Joe took it and threw right back like nothing had happened.

There was a round late on when Joe landed a right jab and Roy just stopped dead in his tracks and put the earmuffs on and Joe stood back then went for the body!!??

I was thinking that Jones was gone then, Joe should have really noticed that, I mean a jab!! Roy did just shut up shop, Joe should have thrown everything at him.

There were a few times in the fight where Joe could have or should have gone for the kill.

Imagine being in Roys boots that night, you drop Joe in the first, then hes got you backed up to the ropes landing shots, you land quite a few nice shots on him but you still have to cover up and cower on the ropes because hes walked through them, he even lets you take free shots on him and he just shakes his asss at you

If Roy were made to ask truthfully im sure hed say Joe would at least be a handfull for him in his heyday, im sure Roy didnt take this just for a payday because im not sure this would have made a ton anyway, with Roys ego, im pretty sure he thought he stood a good chance of winning but with Joe able to totally embarrass him and do as he likes the entire fight after all Roys training and rehabilitation, I think hes pretty dumbfounded and may be questioning his whole career now.

Ok, he had the excuse the weight loss hurt him for the second Tarver fight and he took the Johnson fight too soon after, he still wan rounds in those fights but to lose to Joe in that manner after preparing the best he could

Joe is only a few years younger, (not the 8 that Kessler was to Joe), so roy (and his fans) knows he cant use the age difference as much as hed like.

Roy will now be wondering whether Joe could have done that all along

I think he could have, Roy has always put the earmuffs on under pressure but has relied on opponents slowing down or having breaks, Joe of ten years ago wouldnt have stopped for a breath, the guy can also take a good shot and ten years ago was getting stoppage wins because his hands were fresher, Roy doesnt hold any aces over a young Calzaghe, other than the steroids advantage
First off Ross i was clearly being sarcastic with that comment, so i don't know why you even bothered to reply. Secondly age difference means nothing in boxing and you sound ignorant trying to say it does aswell.

Take Riddick Bowe for example he was a shot fighter at 28, just because fighter A is almost the same age as fighter B. Means nothing you have to take into account RJJ moving up in down in weight, Joe Calzaghe has never had to do that.

And its clearly took alot out of RJJ, and if you think it hasn't watch his comeback fights then watch a prime RJJ. Its two totally different fighters. And the KO Losses have effected him mentally aswell, which is why he won't pull the trigger anymore.
