Prolly the first time i have ever dissagreed with a apost you made.

I may sound biasd with what im about to say, but ill try back it up with as much reasons as poss...


I don't think calzaghe would 'punish' taylor the way he did to lacy, but i think he would beat him just as easy. IMO taylor has alot of talent, is a very well schoold boxer, however.. i see him for one to be very lazy in the ring. He let winky for a vast part of their fight, call the shots an d fight the fight he wanted. He does that to calzaghe he will get his ass handed to him.

Winky didn't have the power to hurt taylor, hopkins didn't have the hunger to beat taylor the way calzaghe could and i wud bet will...

Calzaghe has a superb jab, and a fight with taylor will show that, he will pick him off, and his hand speed, his non stop work rate will see taylor get pulled out fo there. I like taylor alot and i think he would do everything he can to go 12 rounds with joe, it will either be a knock out, the ref or his corner that will stop that fight.

Im sorry, but i think taylor is to lazy, he will be out jabbed, out worked - and i know this may sound a little rash, but if calzaghe trained and focused for the fight the way he did agasint lacy, i honestly can't see taylor picking up a round. Taylor seems to like to go a few rounds to work out his aponent before he really goes at it, and he stands off joe for so much as two rounds, he will not get into that fight at all.

The only hope taylor will have is joes hands going out on him, other than that i give him very little chance of winning a round, let alone the fight.

Taylor fans,f eel free to sad lcik me all you want (wacko behave!) but adleast give us a reason why u did so, not just for the fact i ruled your boy out:P
