    I agree, as long as he takes it a bit slow and works his way up to a big one. Beat a few (maybe two) more Sheika types and then take on one more top tier guy. But if he can't pull the trigger in those easier fight even though he wins them, call it a caree and leave with dignity and grace.

    I think he made the mistake of fighting Joe Calzaghe who was way too much for him, at this stage in his career he can't fight pressure fighters, he needs to fight guys who will try to box against him. He has the handspeed and the reflexes still to be successful in this style of fight, but because people are not used to Roy fighting off the ropes, and people have never given a lot of credit to this defensive style which Winky has also not been given much credit for using, I think Roy has to back up his opponents, because when his back is against the ropes I think people see him turtling and get the wrong impression. If you look back to Ali, even he got hit a solidly a lot more than Roy is getting hit now.

    The only big fight for him is Hopkins and there's no way he beats Hopkins.
