Why couldn't Calzaghe's peak have been around now :-(

[Fenster]

Bute and Ward are better than anybody Calzaghe faced imo. Froch would be another great fight as would Kesler (although JC did beat a prime version of Kessler) Also a fight with Dirrell would've been very interesting. I would love to have seen how JC faired in today's pool of SMWs.

I think Butes angels and body attack may have been to much. He and Froch strike me as a bit similiar...low hands, cocky as hell and punching off the hips some. Froch has more pop but Calzaghe higher workrate. You guys would have to declare a National holiday off had they ever met

The same Bute that took 10 rounds to breakdown an ancient Brian Magee? This is Brian Magee that a past his best Robin Reid knocked down 100 times, Carl Froch knocked unconcious and a man the WBO wouldn't even sanction for a Calzaghe fight.

The same Bute that was virtually knocked out against Andrade?

Bute is an impressive fighter. But we need to reserve judgement until he actually faces someone top class.

Arthur Abraham was around favourite for the Super Six. Look what happened to him. Kelly Pavlik was destined for greatness after beating Taylor. Look what happened to him.

Bute is a phenomenal body puncher and shifty as they come with solid improvement, Andrade rematch ended a lil different. Personally just have a feel he's too shifty for Joe.We are talking strictly hypothetical and a fight that has 100% chance of not happening. I get the top class...Pavlik certainly isn't it but with the 6 ending we'll see very soon.
