Virgill Hill vs Joe Calzaghe

10-11 rounds?

 

Close one on the cards either way. Hill has a little extra height and a fair amount of reach to make that jab a potential headache for Joe. Joe would be going after him tho looking to mix it up where he'd gain the advantage. Who can impose their style more often? Not much in it.

 

Virgil Hill. Respect this man.

 

This for me too

 

Calzaghe would win on points, Hill's jab would be taken away because of the southpaw stance and Hill doesn't really have anything else on Calzaghe, I can't believe lots of people are picking Hill, Hill is overrated and Calzaghe is underrated, dare I say it, Hill is a mediocre fighter and Calzaghe is an ATG, In my view it is shocking that people are picking Hill, it's like me picking Felix Trinidad to beat Mayweather
Hill was a world level fighter, but does not go down in history as a great fighter

 

None of them were near Calzaghe`s level and they didn`t have Calzaghe`s hand speed and combo`s, Joe had a better workrate than anybody Hill ever fought.

 

When I think of fighters that could beat Calzaghe...

A conventional technician doesn't figure into that.

 

When I think of fighters who could beat Calzaghe...

I achieve complete emptiness of thought and consciousness.

 

Hill is not a "mediocre" fighter.

 

How is it shocking picking Hill?

A mediocre fighter?

Joe wasn’t as great as what you think.

 

His punch variety was medicore compared to Calzaghe`s, 90% of his punches were jabs, the fighters he beat were medicore also.

 

Maske was overrated, prime Kessler was better and b-hop still had enough left when he fought Calzaghe to beat a prime Maske, fighters at 175 during the 90`s mainly relied on athleticism Joe had a better fight IQ than any light heavy from the 90`s.
