Probably, yes.
But Joe also doesn't have the defense that Wright does. And I don't think Joe's speed and stamina would look as great against Jermain Taylor as they were against the two 40-year olds he fought this year.
Calzaghe's undefeated, of course it's hard to picture how anyone would beat him. But it's hard for me to picture him dominating Jermain Taylor since no one's ever done that before either. Pavlik knocked him out, but he didn't embarrass him. It's ridiculous to suggest that a guy who beat Bernard Hopkins twice would be "beaten before he signs the contract."
