Roy vs Calzaghe - who you got?

[Duke McKenzie_]

I just wanna know, cos I keep reading about how Roy will KO him and so on.


TBH, I dunno how anyone can think that... Roy's shot to Hell and I think people are going to be amazed at just how poor he looks.

This ain't prime Roy, it's just a payday for Joe Blow, and it'll potentially be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Roy's reflexes are ****ed, his legs are ****ed... he's ****ed.


But what say YOU?

Mr. Calzaghe wins this by UD.

[Naps]

Calzaghe easy. Even though Roy is in his prime now, I fancy the Zagginator.

i agree, i think Calzaghe will win a fairly comfortable decision

[S.G.]

i think Calzaghe should win this... But i don't think Roy will just roll over

he'll catch Calzaghe cleanly a lot and make it a competetive fight until the last two or three rounds

You know, even though I realise that Zag UD is the most likely option (and the one that I'd expect at least 70% of the forum to pick) I went for TKO. Just a feeling. I mean, I know Roy's got a chin like Chuvalo and all, but....

until the last two or three rounds

That's a key point.... because Roy doesn't have legs these days, and if it goes past nine rounds then Roy is gonna be knackered.

If Calzaghe's even a tenth of the fighter he was when he faced Kessler then he should wipe the floor with today's Roy.

I see people constantly getting lambasted for daring to say that Joe could stop Roy - This actually isn't too far fetched a scenario IMO.

I'm going to go with Joe by late TKO.

I wouldn't count it out either, I could see Roy tiring and getting taken out by a Super Double Windmill Slap flurry.

Thing is, even though Zag's power has been dwindling to a trickle, if he gets a knackered Roy in front of him then I do believe he can generate sufficent power to make him dance the funky chicken.
