Considering haye is gone, Enzo lost his title, Mormeck and Bell are proberbly done and Cunningham is the last titlest can Roy win a title at Cruiserweight?

This would be his 5th title at a different weight can he do it? I know he's proberbly fighting Calzaghe next but forget that for a moment and does he have enough to do it?

The current chinny Roy we see today or the old superman Roy?

Todays Roy - No, Roy 5 years ago - Yes.

I think he can, but again he must find someone like Ruiz in HW and try to outbox him all day long. IMO he is still fast on his feet, but don't think he can win against Steve USS, but against Firat Arslan I give him a chance, not much but still.

Superman Roy could have unified that division, nowadays he can win a title, too.
There are 3 belts free, easy to make a fitting matchup but he would've to gain a lot of weight again.

Firat Arslan has Glencoffe Johnson defense and only starts to throw at close ranges and is running after you for 12 rounds. He's also a southpaw.
Althought he hasn't Johnsons skill he's not a good matchup stylewise for Roy.

Well I think if Roy won a cruiserweight title he could retire in peace having achieved something that no one really thought he could after the Johnson and Tarver fights. Personally i think with 3 vacant belts he could fight for one agianst a relatively weak fighter and then win. I don't think he can beat Maccarinelli or Cunningham though but i'm not sure. Haven't seen all that much from Cunningham other than the fight against Huck.

But considering THREE of the belts are vacant do you not think if he is matched up well that he could win?

I definetly think Calzaghe is the favorite to win. But I do not see him stopping Roy.
