    Go ahead Joe, flurry your wide little combo heart away while roy is on the ropes... see what happens.
    now that you mention it the combos Roy was throwing off the ropes against Hanshaw were nasty..........he even knocked him down off the ropes

    so it may not be a bad idea after all

      yeah.... and in the 11th ROUND, which is the biggest deal... since people are talkin about his stamina... he sure had the stamina to throw one of the fastest 3 punch combos to the face ive ever seen in the 11th round

        looking at all the facts the logical pick is Calzaghe. But this time I'm going against what is on paper. I think Roy will pull out this fight.

            people talk about joes workrate... but when you get punched faster than youve ever been punched... and you get beat to the punch... when you try to come in and do your thing.. BAM BAM real fast... im telling you... your workrate gets cut in half...

            and now its... clean effective punches vs a dwindling workrate

              funny how this fight is just now being made after roy got ****ed up by tarver and had all these speedbumps. good timing by enzo to move in on him.

              I favor Roy Jones Jr over Calzaghe.....I think he wins a UD vs Joe especially if it's in the states
