Joe Calzaghe???????

[Markusdarkus]

Bait thread!

Yes Calzaghe fought some cans (shell i list Roy Jones resume?) but he fought some ultra solid guys before Lacy.

To be honest, Joes style of fighting isnt too pleasing on the eye, he does throw alot of arm punches, he doesnt put his back in to them.

Personally I dont particularly find his fights exciting.

What I do like about him is how he can piiss all over very good fighters with that style, his workrate and desire at his age is amazing, he takes a good shot and roars back.

What would be interesting is if they were the same size, Calzaghe v Mayweather, Floyd is hard to catch but lays on the ropes alot, especially against aggressive fighters, Joe would keep throwing those combinations and Floyd wouldnt keep out the way, hed make Floyd work like none has and catch him like no one has.

Joe has a style that could potentially beat anyone in history, no one has come close yet even fighting good fighters in his late 30's hes dominating like he was 10 years younger.

He demands respect and what piisses me off is all the gay boys that went on about how big and ripped Lacy and Kessler were and they were sure to win because of it, its not a body building contest its fighting and no one can match Joe in a scrap.

Jones is just a name to add to his resume, if he fights Pavlik id be concerned for him, especially if it were at super middle because his last Two fights would have been against old has beens who cant fight hard any more and both would have been at light heavy, I think hed struggle to make the weight and may struggle finally at his age with the pace. On the other hand it may have allowed him to stay that bit fresher, not struggliong with the weight and fighting young contenders.

Calzaghe on his day outworks and stops Pavlik late after being hurt a couple of times Pavlik is good no doubt but Joe is proven quality

To bring Mayweather into this is dumb... yo just said Calzaghe throws arm punches... you think Floyd wont stand toe to toe with an armpuncher In your fantasy matchup Floyd on paper would have the speed, power and accuracy advantage along with the quickness and light years ahead on defense... Not to mention Floyds straight right hand would land time after time, while Floyd sits in the pocket ducking and rolling Calzaghes punches.. Floyd would shiit all over him

I agree that bringing Floyd into this is unecessary. But since he already is, Floyd would beat Joe...

Cal is a good fighter. But he could of been great

Calzaghe does throw alot of arm punches but why dyou think people havent walked through them before?

They are constantly getting tagged, Floyd would be rolling around waiting for a counter but Joe dont stop, which is what I was getting at, also if Joe is such a week puncher, how come he made Bernard crawl around on all fours bitching to the ref and millions of viewers like a little sissy looking for a way out?

Because Bernard is 44 and couldnt keep a 12 round pace with John Ruiz, Hopkins compubox punch out put is amoungst the lowest, you realize that right? So Nard OVEREMBELISHED a beltline shot to slower an already turtle paced fight... Cmon Ross I like Joe like the next guy, but Joe dosent like in rough in there and isint dazzling on the inside now is he? Dosent do well with a little duffing up on the inside does he? Exactly!!! Floyd would rough him up make it messy on the inside, duck and roll and then deep in the fight when Joe is frustrated Mayweather would drown him in the deep waters... Matter of Fact Joe just squeaked out a win over as guy that proved he cant keep pace for 4 years now, if Nard was a few years younger and fresher Joe was getting the 0 period!!! So Mayweather who is as well rounded and technically sound as theres been a fighter in the last 50 years would keep pace and just out class Calzaghe on every front in theis fight..

Congrats for winding me up enough to bite on this ridiculous matchup

Hopkins was never hurt by that shot he new it was a close fight so he tried to get Calzaghe deducted points.You Carnt tell me if Hopkins was winning easy or had Calzaghe hurt and he got hit with the say shot he would of reacted like that cause there is no way he would of.
