Roy Jones Jr: "I Can Knock Joe Calzaghe Out"
Collapse

He can KO a super middle but Joe Calzaghe?
**** would be very shocking. By the laws of science it can happen, lol.
Roy should have knocked out Tito so unless his mindset has changed you can't see it, and he also would waste alot of steam trying to take out Joe, and if he failed he could actually get slapped to a stoppage himself.Comment

Out of Roy's last three opponent I believe he could've stopped at least two maybe all three. People mistake Roy's unwillingness to leave himself open and go for a stoppage with him not being able to. Even a prime Roy never went for a stoppage, he stopped his opponents because there was no fight left in them (with the exclusion of his second fight with Griffin). Unfortunately he doesn't have the athletic abibilies he used to, to stop opponents the way he did: in a playful fashion.
Roy simply doesn't believe it's worth him getting caught flush and being stopped again and I can't see how some of you seem to disagree with him. He completely changed up his style just to get 3 decent wins.
That being said Calzaghe will likely have plenty of fight in him to continue, especially with him saying this will be (one of) his last fight(s). Stoppage? Only if he can discourage Calzaghe the way he used to do with most of his opponents, otherwise I'm agreeing with Pavlik that this is a dangerous for JoeComment

Well said. Roy will not go for a KO b/c he won't leave himself open to a big, flush shot. Roy will look to outwork Joe (good luck with that) to a decision and play to the crowd when he can.Out of Roy's last three opponent I believe he could've stopped at least two maybe all three.
