    Calzaghe was dropped from right hands by ancient Jones and Hopkins.
    Figure it out.
    Way faster than Billy Conn? This is based on what?
    Mismatch.

    You are either blind literally, or you have blind hatred for Calzaghe. Either way your opinion of that fight is pure garbage.

    Hopkins ran like a coward, went down from imaginary low blows, and did his best to get Joe Cortez to win the fight for him.

    That said even the old Joe Louis who got beaten up by Marciano, is too much for Calzaghe.

    John Henry Lewis (even with failing eyesight) was a better Lt Heavyweight and fighter than Calzaghe and he didn't last a single round with Louis.

    You do the maths.

    Easy KO victory for Louis!

    Me, too. Calzaghe isn't even on Conn's level; Calzaghe is the most overrated fighter on this forum by a mile! All the great light heavyweights would outclass him, even some middleweights and he's beating Joe Louis?

    Obviously you haven't read the relentless **** that gets written about Tyson, or Marciano by their respective fanboys.:lol::lol:

    you might want to speculate JC against JHL, Conn, Lesnivich, Betina and a host of other L-HWs before you even think TOP HWs.

    Joe Louis by Board Intervention and Non Permitting of said contest!
