    I'd favour Calzghe based on work rate alone.Could JT keep up with him? From what I have seen,no he could not. JC via UD.

    Joe C is definitely more active than anyone Taylor has fought in the past 2 years.....the work rate might wear down taylor....he was gassed in the B-HOP fights....

    Now would Joe lose to all of them?.... probably not but he wouldn't win them all either.

    All of thoes fighters would have given Joe a hard fight apart from Eubank.

    Eubank is very overrated and a skilled fighter fighter like Joe would out box him.

    Joe C have trouble with Toney

    For fucks sake......

    I used to hate Calzaghe with a passion, but I respect the geezer, hearns wouldnt touch him, no where near, taylor, would be looking at a 114-114 114-114 115-113 loss to Joe....

    thats a majority draw, and i wouldnt be surprised if that WAS the result, as long as the two 114's were from guys like hamada or kazmarick

    Joe C. gets a UD or possible late (T)KO. I ike JT and he has a ton of potential but I think that Joe would be to active for him and not give JT time to think.

    I'd pick Joe by decision, but seems every time I pick against Taylor I'm wrong. Thought he was to green for Hopkins the 1st time, then thought Hopkins would get his own back in the rematch & Taylor wins again. Then up against Winky he pulls out the draw. The boys got talent & this fight would great to see. I wouldn't be surprised in the least with Taylor winning a decision he's got a great jab! But I just feel Calzaghe may be a little to overwhelming!!!

    that could be interesting, let's face the truth brothers...JC has only 3-4 fights left...and the other fighters just want to be the one to retire him.

    If a fighter is able to retire him it will mean fame, fortune and World level fights for the man or a real recognition as "the man of the division"...if I was the Johnson, Taylor, RJJ, Tarver, Kessler I would try to beat the man...

    But of course it's a risky business, Joe has an incredible amount of talent plus he trains hard, and I mean HARD for each fight.

    I can understand that Taylor prefer to do 10 draw fights with Winky than 1 one fight with Joe, because he could lose it all...but on the other hand, for the other names, JC is a good solution.

    JC beats Taylor for me, comfortably. He'd beat most of the guys on Lyle's list also, apart from a prime RJJ. He'd struggle with B-hop at his best and Marvin Hagler, but his natural size advantage would pull him through.
    Im not saying JC is as high as Hearns and Leonard on the p4p all time list, it's just that their best was at welter, a good 20 lbs below Joe.

    HEARNS wasn't at his best at welter!!! His best and most impressive wins came at 160 and 168

    You can "not rate" Jermain all you want to but the guy comes to fight and size advantage or not he'd fight Joe hard and have a shot at beating him.

    And Eubank was what 40 when he fought Joe and was that on short notice too?

    Surprisingly Eubank is only about 40, now.... It was on short notice though.

    Is this a joke? Calzaghe has often said that fighting Eubank was his HARDEST fight!

    I know I've never boxed and therefore am not fit to enter into discussion with you but even the faded, weight drained Chris Eubank that Calzaghe faced gave Joe a tough time.

    I love both fighters, Joe is way more consistent then Chris who often preferred to pose and strut rather than fight but he always raised his game for the big fights.
