supermiddleweight tounament, how would joe fare

[ICB]

im just waitin for people to start gettin on my back for talkin about calzaghe still, so neg rep me its ok i understand.anyway what im gettin at is this 168 tournament going down soon, weve got froch,kessler, direll, green and so on, what im sayin is how do u think think calzaghe would fare in this this tournament if he was still kickin about today, i no hes already beat the favourite in kessler, but what about the other fighters, dirrerent styles different outcomes ah fellas, i just watched calzaghe again the other week against lacy, kessler, hopkins,jones, and i think he would clean this tournament out, whats ur thoughts guys

He'd beat them all rather comfortably IMO, i think Lucian Bute maybe the best Super Middleweight. But he wouldn't stand the pressure of Joe Calzaghe, but he would give him some troubles early on, because he is a very good outside fighter.

i agree mate, i think he would clean up, bute is a solid fighter, yeah he might give joe the most trouble, but it would not really be that much trouble in my opinion, froch being the second favourite after kessler, i think joe would beat froch the worst out of anybody in the tournament, ha, ha, can u imagine tho what would take place if froch got in the ring with calzaghe, it would be a lacy times 10

Agreed; Froch would be made to look utterly Special Olympics material against Joe.

special olympics,. oh my god im pissin myself right now, it would be like that tho, calzaghe is a special fighter, is the best 168er of all time, without doubt

Meh, to win that thing one guy's gotta fight five times, that's gonna be over two years from now if everything comes off, Joe's old already and coming off a layoff, I'd put money on somebody else.

True. But a couple of those guys he could tune up on like Taylor or Dirrell; Taylor would gas out anyways and I can't see him even really touching Joe. And I'm by no means a huge fan of Joe. Kessle though could give him more problems thean he did before; but hell he's basically been on layoff as well and his last opponents were who? Anyways it's moot anyways.

[OumaFan]

He's the best prime for prime, if this started a few years ago, sure no doubt. And he could still win it but I kind of think his body would fall apart a bit, reflexes slow that kind of thing.

I guess I'm favoring Kessler now but who knows, dude never fights.
