1 or 2
If he fights Calzaghe and wins he should fight Tarver again

I can't see him beating Tarver though.

But if he pulled off those two wins. ATG top 3 for me.

Yeh i just hope he doesn't do a holyfield though. Thats the last thing boxing needs.

Hopefully he beats someone serious like Kessler or Johnson before fighting Calzaghe to prove he still has it. It could set up a classic encounter between Joe and Roy that no one could question.

I'd say two or more.

He has been shot since the first Tarver fight. In the very first one he was overweight and that contributed to his slow footspeed, but the reality is that his reflexes and stamina have gone, and all those dreadful losses happened as a direct result. As his weight came back down he recovered some of the spring in his step, but where once he was an impossible target, now he is an easy one.

He was so great once that fans and experts have been prepared to make excuses for him and give him the benefit of the doubt since the first Tarver fight, but the reality of Roy's decline has been right before our eyes since then. It was sad for me to see actually, a Roy Jones who never used to lose a round grinning like a child on his birthday because he thought he'd won one against Johnson and in Tarver III. Horrible.

IMO Roy does not have a single elite level fight left in him, indeed I'd say he ran out of credit in that area years ago. He might go on fighting for a while yet though, as long as the money is there. He has been resigned to losing against good opposition since Johnson beat him, he certainly he was in Tarver III.

He cannot defeat an elite opponent at his own weight any more. Its just the way it is.
