At last some trash talking, the good humor between them was getting tiring.

Roys got a point, but I wouldnt say never. He can easily continue his career beat a few top guys and establish himself as a great. Will he do that? It remains to be seen.

Roys just a good yank fighter. I want to see him fight some top European belt holders to secure his greatness.

Watch roy lose via decision due to taking over 100 slaps around...

Roy isn't from New York so calling him a "yank" doesn't make sense. Who are the current European world champions? Kessler? Bute? Please, don't fool yourself. Calzaghe will never be considered a great, he beat too many scruffs - 44 to be exact - his 45th fight against Hopkins could've easily went to old man Bernard and Joe looked like a rookie in that bout - very wild - he should learn how to punch because he slaps.

Good point. Wouldnt have minded seeing him fights some good Brits let alone Europeans. Clinton Woods doesnt really count.

Roy is going to lose because he can't fight a full 3 minutes of every round anymore. He'll show glimpses of brilliance, but he will be totally outworked. If he lays on the ropes he'll get embarrassed. Im no particular fan of Calzaghe, and have always been a fan of Roy, but lets keep it real here.
