I understand where you're coming from but I don't really agree with it. Roy wouldn't be at all hard done by if Calzaghe didn't fight him. There is a big difference in Cal-Jones and Cal-Hopkins. Calzaghe was more than worthy of a title shot with Hopkins because he was the undisputed SMW and rated high in the P4P rankings.
