I still think Roy loses but i think his plan was to use the style he used against Tito which was to cover up and try and walk Calzaghe down. Even Emanuel Steward thought that was the style Roy would use. In the 3rd round he was using it and coming forward while covering up. Even though Calzaghe was throwing combos many of the shots were blocked. I think Roy planned on trying to wear Calzaghe down with body shots while coming forward with his hands up, but once he got cut he abandoned that tactic and style.

Same score same outcome. -
Wouldn't of mattered. He was pretty much gun shy the entire fight and was scared to pull the trigger. He's done. He should never set foot inside a ring again because it's plainly obvious he's not interested in really fighting anymore. All he cares about is milking his fans for money.Comment

I dont see how he's milking anyone for money. If someone is beating you to the punch when you attempt to get aggressive and your old what can you do. Keep getting countered and knocked out. Going out on your back is never a good thing.Comment

You're a blind idiot if you believe Roy gave his all against Joe. He was content to sit right in front of Joe and keep his hands up and not even attempt to land punches when Joe was sticking his chin right up at him. If that ain't milking your fans for money I don't know what is.
It wasn't as pathetic as his 3rd fight with Tarver but it was close sans the first round.Comment

When Joe was leaning looking up at Roy like as if he was saying hey Roy I am here are you? Ya'll musta forgot about Super Joe...Lol I don't have answers but until I am cut that badily and fighting one of the top if not the TOP P4P fighter in the world I can't really say what was going on in roy's head. Maybe he was thinking oh **** I am cut real bad I can't see this f#cker much less hit him. let me keep my hands up protect my chin and finish out the 12 rounds. let me not get Ko'd or not throw the towel in I am f@cking Roy Jones I can take this s@it!!!.....LeftyComment

Worse? It actually seemed like the cut galvanized him to perform better. Had he not picked it up the ref would have stopped the fight.Comment

Yup, he was choosing to not hit Joe and instead be hit. Genius.
Could it be he was trying to hit him as you can clearly see he did several times. That firstly leaves your arrogant statement invalid. Furthermore that he sometimes didn't continue to because he in his own words "couldn't get at him" as most can't, because he's such an elusive target.
It would not have been much different without the cut, he was fading and only just keeping up with Joe as was Hopkins and we know what happened there. Roy could have KO'd Tito late on but didn't, it's unlikely he'd choose to get hit all nite then look to KO a tough chinned guy, when your own stamina is way worse so it hinders you more then your opponent.Comment
