      The fact that he isn't a risk taker also counts against him too.

        I believe its got worse, as a matter of fact i predicted it would, because for one, Roy is universally loved by majority of Boxing fans and when Tarver beat him it did Tarver no favours either. Tarver became public enemy number 1 for beating Jones.

        Calzaghe fought his 2nd fight in the States against another 40 + year old who whos career was done in 2004.
        calz's got more to do to win the adulation of the majority of boxing fans. As of now, he only has their grudging respect.

            It was good for what it was supposed to be good for RJJ and Jo Cazaghes bank balances.

            Anyone who thought the fight was for anything else was deluded.
