    After his loss to LHW champion Joe Calzaghe, do you think Roy is done as a contender? It hurts me to say it, but I feel like he is. He's 52-5 and has loss his last 4 out 7 fights.

    I have a feeling he'll end up like Sweet Pea and quit only when it will get embarrasing to go on

    He should of retired after the Ruiz fight. Or at least the Tarver fight, in which he CLEARLY won.

    unfortunately yes he is done.

    his style was only meant to be used with speed which he no longer has.

    He was done in 03 when he tried to move back down to LHW, he is now 40, he really should retire, it's about 6 yrs too late already.

    He could still take the occasional top 10 fighter, but his championship days are through. I'd rather see Roy hang 'em up now than risk getting a major beating from a young guy on the way up looking to make a name for himself.

    He can still beat ordinary boxers. Like Omar Sheika, who, he is fighting next.

    Roy is done as an elite championship fighter, but he can still beat anyone outside of the top 5 or 10 in the division
