Joe Calzaghe vs Clinton Woods

[SalTheButcher]

calzaghe publicly calling out hopkins while ACTUALLY sending challenges to woods, calzaghe needs to do 1 of 2 things


1 - learn how to throw a punch

or

2 - stop using hopkins name in hopes that the non boxing fans of the american public will give a fuck about him

[donnydarkoIRL]

Af Sal in fairness! Joe must be pretty well able to punch if he's the world's undisputed super middleweight champion.

And he did call out Hopkins and enter negotiations. Twice Hopkins backed out even though Joe was willing to agree to his terms.

I'd pick Woods to win he handles a war better and he likes a war

You would pick anyone over Calzaghe how about Ann Wolfe vs Calzaghe how would that go ??

Ive said for a while that Woods would beat Calzaghe

What aspects of Woods arsenal would help him prevail against Calzaghe. You must have your reasons for thinking Woods can do this?

I think he hits harder than Calzaghe i think he likes a war more than Calzaghe and he has come a long way since his 6th round stoppage loss against the great peak Roy Jones Jnr. Calzaghe has backed out of a fight with Woods about 3 times as he did Glenn Johnson who Woods fought 3 times Calzaghes win over Kessler was good but had Kessler been just that bit busier he would have won he was throwing and connecting with the heavier shots.I don't think Calzaghe has a real war in him.

I'd argue that with...Kessler tried bloody hard to force the fight, but Calzaghe's fast hands forced him to cover up. Kessler was winded by a cracking body shot by Calzaghe, and had the referee not intervened, Kessler may have gone down. Even Kessler admitted he was in trouble. Woods has come on a bundle and does have great power, but I feel Joe is just too fast for him and would box rings around him for a wide UD. People say Joe hasn't got power, but he has plenty of KO's, he busted up Lacy & Kessler's left eye was near shut after the fight.

If this fight gets us talking as fight fans it must be a fight worth making

Well it's a good fight, it just doesn't do much for Calzaghe's impression in the US, which is what I thought he wanted. Otherwise, I'm very happy to see it. Woods is right, it's far more exciting than a fight with Nard.

[Tysonbruno]

Calzaghe has left it to late to fight in the states 1 fight in the states won't really make any difference he should just step up to lightheavy like he has threatened for years and fight Woods will he get alot of credit for beating a 43 year old Hopkins??

Yeah, he would!

It's a testiment to Hopkins ability really. I respect him for being as good as he is, but he's just not that exciting anymore, and I don't really care about his fights. Plus he's all mouth.

I've said before, the fight I really want for Calzaghe is Taylor, but Taylor is fighting Pavlik in Feb. My second choice would be Jones, but he's tied up with Trinidad. So I'd take Woods in the meantime if nothing exciting is available.

[Tysonbruno]

I'd prefer him to fight Roy Jones if he does'nt fight Woods

Ive said for a while that Woods would beat Calzaghe

You also said Kessler would beat Calzaghe and you also said alot of other stuff that was wrong Woods no way beats Calzaghe.

Yes i was wrong but i aint the first or last fan to be wrong

I think Calzaghe would be to good for Woods!
Although I'd prefer to see Joe face Hopkins for the LH championship I think a fight with Woods would be much better!!!

The interesting thing is, Hopkins isn't a LHW champion. He has The Ring belt, but officially, he has F*** all. I think Joe is looking at Woods as the longest reigning current LHW champion, a guy who has challenged him on a number of occasions and sees it as a good back up because it'll be one more UK fight, it'll give him the oppertunity to become a 2 weight world champion, it's a fight he should win and it's leverage for future fights at the weight.

Hopkins is the LH champion, all Woods has is a belt that was stripped.
A fight & victory over Hopkins would make Calzaghe a linear two division champion. A win over Woods is only one division & a belt (not a championship) in another.
