Calzaghe says he can beat Klitschko

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

funny thing is, he probably could if he waited as long to fight them as he did the current old guys he's taking so much credit for beating.

He deserves credit for beating B-Hop. B-Hop's performance against Pavlik, was the best performance I have seen from Hopkins. Infact his best performances both came in his forties imo (Tarver & Pavlik) Jones was shot to pieces agreed on that!

P.S Not to go over old ground, but Joe Calzaghe's SMW resume is better than B-Hops MW resume and equal to RJJ's LHW resume imo

Totally agree... Thought Hop was shot against Calzaghe but then Nard came out and put on a masterclass beatdown against Pavlik... Gave alot more merit to Calzaghe's win. Agreed with the resume also. Love the Nard but it's true.

That's what I call an objective view point!!!

I actually think RJJ and B-Hop were better fighters p4p than JC, but I think people claiming B-Hop was old and shot against JC is BS and I also think all 3 have questionable resumes during their prime and the weight they reigned at!

I wouldn't go that far. Boxing is all about styles. Pavlik ain't exactly a fast combination punching machine like Calzaghe is. Bernard had to fight a more defensive fight against Calzaghe because Calzaghe was gonna be in his face throwing all day. Against Pavlik he could pot shot all night as logn as he avoided the right hand. Two completely different styles and a style like Pavlik's is made for Bernard to look spectacular against. So I wouldn't say it gave Calzaghe's win more merit unless Pavlik had the exact same style. It just showed that he wasn't shot but that he had to fight a different way against Calzaghe. Bernard was never "shot" out of his prime yes, but never shot.
