Virgill Hill vs Joe Calzaghe

How is any of this relevant?

You always do these bizarre comparisons.

Those were 2 very different stylistic match ups.

Joe didn’t have great variety. He just threw his hands, where he concentrated more on volume rather than accuracy.

He wasn’t a technician who picked his shots.

 

Hill wasn't poor vs Hearns- I think the moment overwhelmed him coupled with Hearns boxing skills-Its not like Hill got crushed.
JC would be a bloody mess if he meant Hearns who is taller and has an insane jab. Lets not forget NOBODY ever outboxed Hearns.
And if you watch alot of Hill he had a sneaky counter hook that he would throw.
Not alot of people can move like a Hill the entire bout.

 

Calzaghe was a lot quicker than Hearns at 175 and would have out-boxed him, Tommy was well past his prime.

 

Not sure. Maybe Hill in a snooze fest.

 

I’d expect Calzaghe to win.

 

Calzaghe would have boxed Barkley`s ears off.

 

Calzaghe only fought in one snoozefest v B-hop because of Bernard`s spoiling tactics, Joe`s workrate was fantastic.

 

Not really. Joe won by a comfortable margin to any objective observer.

 

Yes because B-hop spoiled, he dropped Calzaghe as he ws coming in with a counter, nothing wrong with that but he just kept trying that for the rest of the fight.

 

How about Wilfred Benitez would JC outbox him?
Better yet take Andries would JC stopped him?
People take the Barkley fight out of context-Hearns was getting ready to stop Barkley and got caught.
All credit to Barkley for hanging in there but he was getting battered until the stoppage.
And the rematch Hearns was SHOT and Barkley got a split decision where honestly that fight could have gone either way.
