Thread: Could Calzaghe clean up Light-Heavy division?

imo i think Calzaghe would beat all the top guys at light Heavy, maybe a couple of tough fights but dont think he'd got beat by any of them.

Hardest fights would be Dawson and Woods and these would be pretty much 50/50

nah even thou woods has improved, Joe c still beats him. i wouldnt give him that much of a chance

When you have FW on your side anythings possible.

FW could make it see like hes the best LH the same way hes made him look likes hes been the best SMW in years having only fought fair quality of opposition.

Yes he can will he though ?? hell no should he have done it years ago ?? yes.

hang on a minute, he;s beat everyone there has been to beat at SMW for the best part of 10 years. Fair enough this kessler saga is going on a bit but i still think the fight will b made.

He has name these good fighters he has beat then

Eubank, Reid and Lacy were all quality oppents, its not his fault his division has been week.

He should of took a step up to light heavy a few years back. I think he's gona chase these big fights now because he knows time aint on his side.

Reid wern't even the champ and wern't expected much of a threat after losing his title to Thulani Malinga in a terrible performance Eubank was past it and had to lose 12 pounds in a week or something like that and lacy was an overrated prospect he hasn't had any really good wins and he could of chased bit more for the big boys.

how do you think Calzaghe would deal with Hopkins and Taylor then, i'd pick him to beat both!!

i know you love woods, but he isn't and never will be in calzaghes league... i don't mind him he aint a bad boxer, but fuck me he is so easy to hit it is not even funny.

Johnson at the tender age of 38, a journey man at best in his prime was handling woods with out to much trouble untill he started to tire because of his age. Someone like Joe who is much faster, fitter and more acurate would batter woods - now woods would last the 12 most likely 'coz calzaghe can't hit hard anymore, but even now you would see a more one sided beat down than he give lacy.

Dawson, im not certain havn't really seen enough of this guy, i know he is good, but i think his lack of exp might cozt him a match like this, joe is getting on and can't hard anymore - but i aint seen to much of this guy to comment really.

Other than that i don't really see anyone at LHW who would give him any real problems. Hopkins has alot of exp, but i don't think he could of beaten him in his prime, let alone now.

Yeah and people said that about Tarver,Tito,Oscar,how did that end up?
People allways pick against B-hop for some reason
He wont be able to take Tito/Tarvers power
He wont be able to box with Oscar
Etc,etc,etc
But somehow,noone,ever,ever,has been able to knock him out

Reid beat Calzaghe and Calzaghe knew this and never gave him rematch fighters like Barrera fight win but its close e.g Juarez so gives a rematch to prove to himself and the fans that he could do better and Eubank lost 11lbs in 7 days to fight fight him at short notice because Collins retired

So why was Calzaghe going to fight him twice and Johnson the journeyman who knocked Jones jnr out cold and beat Tarver the same Johnson who Calzaghe was ment to fight but shit himself so hard he pulled his back
