Calzaghe v Tarver - Who would have won.?

[BIG H]

My money would have been on calzaghi

one route to look at is calzaghi convincing beat hopkins and hopkins convincingly beat tarver

Calzaghi was extremely fit, threw too many punches for tarver and in his prime had a solid chin

First off Calzaghe didnt convincingly beat Hopkins it was a close shit fight, secondly that route of fighter a beating fighter b so he would be fighter c is flawed and quite silly really.

For my money prime for prime Calzaghe split decision.

yep you are right about the fighter a beat fighter b shit being flawed, its not silly tho you can tell a lot from it in most cases

In my opinion Calzaghi did convincinly beat hopikins, after 4 rounds hopkins wasnt in the fight

but thats another debate

I agree with that, BUT, he was 5 points ahead after 4 round imo, so it was still close (on the cards)

It would have been a great fight. I like both fighters, prime for prime I would lean towards Calzaghe but Tarver was/is a far better and more acomplsihed fighter than most give credit. Borderline Hall of Fame imo.

What a bullshit headline. They've stole those quotes straight from twitter. Tarver was calling him out. Calzaghe laughed it off as all good banter.

Joe beat the man that beat Tarver, so how could he argue that he was avoided by Joe. It would have been a food fight right after Tarver KO’ed Roy Jones and Tarver may have won then. However there paths did not cross when they were in the light heavy division unfortunately.

This old thread highlighted at the bottom sums up this bout. Calzaghe was getting slated for a Tarver fight in 2007 (same old hater usual suspects I see )

LOL looks like everyone wanted the Kessler fight, which happened and probably Joe's best victory.
