Good points & I agree...he could retire today with ruined hands & I would be satisfied.Quote:

Go buy a career disc set or videos or something...the man's got some great fights under his belt & he always shows out.
RIGHT....dude Taylor has just finished 3 fights with the "BEST BOXERS" pound for pound and Calzaghe would totally destroy him?Quote:

I'm not sure that I'd say destroyed...but he'd get his ass handed to him by Calzaghe...the thing is...Calzaghe would be a bit bigger & is more effective with his jab than Taylor.Quote:

Nah...you might think Joe is at the top of his game...well so was Hopkins and so was Wright....Taylor is a game fighter and I think he can go the distance with anyone from 154-175
Hopkins won the first fight.Quote:

Taylor got 2 decisions that he did not deserve. He lost on punch stats & he was the bigger man going back all night against Wright.
Calzaghe & his volume & angles would be waaaaaaaaay too much for Taylor...unless ofcourse he flies his team over to London...then he's got it in the bag...& you know HBO would send the judges for Taylor. ::**
Taylor vs Calzaghe calzaghe will out land jermain and land at a higher % but lose a desion
I think Calzaghe would decision Taylor handily....he would befuddle Taylor with the output and angles....
Of course Joe would get caught, but he can take a punch...
Calzaghe UD...
And 3 more fights sounds just about right...but hurry up Calzaghe!! A fighter that relies on output and workrate shouldnt stay around too long at his age...
The more work Taylor gets with Manny the better he's going to be...Jermain is far from complete, he needs to work on managing distance between him and the other fighter.
Taylor is a good guy, a good fighter, and he's not scared to fight anyone.
That being said I have a lot of respect for Calzaghe especially after he disposed of Jeff Lacy. I think Jeff is a great fighter and I want him to go out with a bang but more than likely he won't fight ALL super fights but he'll have a few good ones.
For the record I think Taylor would do better than Kessler against Calzaghe
CC.good points,totally agree. I think the longer the injury keeps him out,the less likely it is for him to have 3 fights.You guys have mentioned Taylor,Kessler,Johnson byt what about Winky Wright? I thought that fight was a real possibility.Quote:

Warren would be smiling all the way to the bank as well!!!
I think Taylor-Calzaghe would be a great fight, i think Taylor would Joe a much better fight then people give him credit for.

Agreed. Winky needs to either stay where he is...or move the fwock down! 168 is too heavy IWO & Calzaghe would be too much. :coolclick:Quote:
