This is not the Roy of old. I wish it were. Back in the day Roy would definitely take a win, but these days he's at a major disadvantage. Calzaghe is a much better fighter than Tarver and has better cardio.
Roy seemed to really drop of after his win at heavyweight. I'd love to see him win this fight but I don't see it happening.
Joe is going to retire and miss out on a potential showdown with Pavlik. Too bad as Calzaghe's camp made it clear that Kelly was the inferior fighter. By Joe retiring he is likely confirming that such a claim was simply bogus. I'll say this much, Joe looks like he is nowhere near retirement. Roy should be the one retiring, imo.
