Prime for Prime in LHW Calzaghe vs Michalczewski

The two stupid things here.

A: Everyone talking about a prime for prime fight and then talking about sub-prime Calzaghe and referencing his fight against Jones Jr and Hopkins, 6 years removed from his prime.

B: How people think a slow, methodical, accurate power puncher is going to beat a quick, energetic, endless stamina, accurate speed and power puncher.

Calzaghe in his youth punched every bit as hard as DM.

 

Calzaghe UD

 

If Barry Jones could drop Acelino Freitas, Ricky Burns would annihilate him.

 

Calzaghe UD. Similar to Kessler fight I think.

 

He didnt move to the LHW earlier. So I base on the actual fights he had. Had he moved to the LHW earlier, he would have lost to RJJ.

Whatever, Michalczewski would have a big size advantage and in my opinion would KO Calzaghe at LHW.

 

Prime Michalczewski must be around the second time he beat Rocchigiani by 10th round TKO in 2000. He had a lot of heart back then and he stood in front of you to test your willpower to sustain punishment... Prime Joe Calzaghe must be in 2003 when he beat Byron Mitchell in 2 in Cardiff. Joe could take Dariusz pressure and go toe to toe in the center of the ring until the bell would ring or something else. Not saying that Dariusz would collapse either but probably would get outpunched and lose a decision.

 

LOL, I thought you meant he pushed him down with his forearm . . .ahahah. Besides when does a forearm do more damage than a fist? STUPID F'n point if you ask me . . . oh wait . . . Joe hit everyone with his forearms . . .AHAHAHAHA. So if Roy had hit him with a clean punch he might have put joe to sleep! So what you are REALLY saying is that Joe almost got KO'ed by Roy who was half way to the glue factory! DM would KO JC in 1 thanks to your logic . . . thanks for the input!

 

Because it's dumb, there is no blue print to beat Calzaghe, and what is worse, he referred to prime Hop as past itpatsch:rofl:rofl

 

Dont waste your time on LLLAAANNCCEE_Uttercunt. He is a known bottle job who once embarrassed himself on here by telling the story of how he went to a boxing gym for one day once, but found it too tough :| to go again. *** tranny queen.
Notice how Uttercunt didnt answer the question either atsch.
Really Uttercunt is ESBs weakest link.

Calzaghe would outwork Michalczewski and land enough to win. Clear Calzaghe UD or late round TKO (prime for prime)

 

Michalczewski's left hook was the bane of southpaws. He destroyed Graciano Rocchigiani with it in their rematch.

Joe's chin was not the same at 175, 2 fights 2 KD's against. Darius is one of the biggest punchers at 175, Joe would have succumbed to the power in the later rounds.

Michalczewski TKO

 

Joe had a very good chin at 168, which was much softer at 175.

DM had an iron chin at 175.

If anyone is getting stopped, it's Calzaghe.

 

Neither of these cats is getting tired but only one of them could punch.

DM by KO late

 

Clean knockdown bud. And remember RJJ is a natural 168 fighter who always fought bigger guys at 175

 

I'd back Michalczewski to win this one, if it was at 175lbs.

Calzaghe's lack of power in his lightheavyweight manifestation would be the deciding factor here, his little pitty-patter featherfisted punches that couldn't even drop a shot-to-smithereens Roy Jones (who'd been getting iced by Johnson and Tarver years earlier) clearly wouldn't be anywhere near enough to keep a strong, determined, resilient lightheavyweight like Michalczewski honest at all.

Joe's handspeed would see him win a couple of early rounds, but sooner than later the fight would become a procession of Michalczewski rolling forward, swatting away the pitty-patter flurries, and landing hard punches of his own. Calzaghe doesn't have the footwork, head movement or defence to outbox Michalczewski from the backfoot, he'd be there to get hit, he'd get hit, and over the piece he'd get outfought by a bigger, stronger opponent.

Michalczewski, around 8-4 or 9-3.

 

I never said it wasn't legal or clean, just that it was a forearm. Little different getting hit by a taped bone than a padded fist.
