Thread: When do you think Joe Calzaghe will lose?

Joe Calzaghe has been unbeaten for 10 years and is a great boxer and i wanna know when do you think he will lose because he has a marvelous record.

He won't lose.

He'll lose his next fight

isnt it funny VD im sure you said the same about the Kessler fight.... hhhmmmmm just a thought

its looking like he'll have 2/3 more fights then he's out.. I expect it to be hopkins next, then possibly Woods and finallt a fight against whoever comes out on top between Taylor/Pavlik.. I expect a third fight between them two...

If you ask me none of these fights are easy but the only one a could see him loosing is against Pavlik because of his obscene power.. I still think Joe would be a big Fav, So i can see JC retiring unbeating.

Though I am not a fan I will say this about Calzaghe,,,,

He is a smart fighter and takes his bouts seriously,,,,I have seen many of guys in his position over the years..ATG fighters,,,and after having undefeated streaks of a few years they begin to become lazy or maybe I should say get this self imposed aura of invincibility.....Joe has managed to escape that pattern of thought....Making sure he is fully prepared for all his fights...be it a jobber like Manfredo or legit threats like Kessler and Lacey.....He is a naturaly gifted fighter and makes sure he is at peak...very hard to beat a guy like that.....

Truth is the fact that Calzaghe is often underrated works in his favor....There are always opponents who believe the talk about things like that and they go in thinking they will be the one to expose him once and for all.....

To say Calzaghe will never lose is foolish...every fighter has his day if he sticks around to long or there is always that one bad night....Fighters greater then Calzaghe have had nights like those....It is just a matter of will he be around long enough for that night to ever happen?

I dont know if there is any guys out there at supermiddle/light heavy who can beat Calzaghe i would love to see him fight Pavlik tho it would be a hell of a fight Joe has a great chin but Pavliks offence is scary think the weight may be a problem for Kelly tho at LH.

HE WILL NOT LOSE

He's been saying it for his last god knows how many fights, normaly by KO too... most people just ignore him.

I think he'll only lose if he has more than the 2/3 fights he is talking about or tries going up in weight too high.....
As many have said i dont think the SMW and LHW divisions are strong enough to hand him a defeat at the moment. The most likely defeat would be by hopkins but i think Joe would eek out a UD against him.

I don't know... See, I'm a huge Hopkins fan but I have trouble thinking he can beat Joe. Hopkins with age has become a one punch at a time guy. He hits and gets out. How would this work against Joe? Joe would just simply outwork Bernard. I just can't see a feasable way this could go bernard's way!

Hence the reason i wrote that i think Joe would win by UD. Hopkins only chance would be to rough Joe up and get him off his game. This tactic was effective to an extent for Bika, but Sakio didnt have the skills to go on with it.
So to clear it all up, i'd never give Bernard no chance because he is so cagey but on form i see Joe C beating him by UD.

Oh no, you were clear enough...  I was the one who was unclear.  I saw you say Joe would win by UD but I was just commenting about when you said the only chance of a loss would be agaist BHOP. I got you, though!

Sorry for the confusion

CC, to ya

The Hopkins fight will be Joes hardest fight to date if it comes off in my eyes just because Nard is great at spoiling other fighters styles and with it being in the he could get a home town decision but i would expect joe to pull out the decision.
