    Would Calzaghe do better than Conn did in their fight and be smart in the 15th round of the fight?

    Calzaghe isn't as durable as Conn, and we don't know if he's a legitimate 15 round fighter.

    Calzaghe is durable and i'd bet my house that he is a 15 round fighter.

    But he's a ****ing pressure swarmer.

    Louis KO1 Calzaghe.

    You're on the wrong forum mate, you need to click on "General Boxing Forum" not "Classic Boxing Forum" :hi:

    Nah Calzaghe showed he could box too as he did against Roy Jones and Jeff Lacy.(who also tried to swarm him and he outboxed him) And your right Calzaghe could fight 15 rounds, he's the only fighter I seen that's never punched hisself out.

    Durable, yeah. Not AS durable as Conn.

    Look at Conn's resume, for christ's sake.

    Yeah but he has a higher punch output and faster hands, so that would also compensate for not being just as durable.

    No it's not. The fact that Louis showed vunberabilities to good lateral movement and had trouble with fast boxers, shows there's a possiblity.

    Calzaghe gets dropped by Behop and Jones and struggles like hell to beat a 40 year old Hopkins. Louis Kos Calzaghe round 1 end of story.

    And Louis isn't as mobile as Hopkins is or fast as Roy is. Calzaghe wouldn't tired from the constant moving and punching he would be doing which would make it interesting.

    Louis would KO Calzaghe. Hopkins & Jones all in the same night!
