Never followed Carl Froch..basically this guy wants to be Roy Jones?

Calzaghe would have struggled with Taylor, IMO.

On the one hand, Taylor is only a B+ level fighter, and is moving up in weight.

His athleticism however would have caused Calzaghe problems for the first 8 or 9 rounds, but after that Taylor would be out of steam and Joe would steal the fight.

 

Taylor was looking gassed at the end of Hopkins I, taking shots on the ropes from Winky down the stretch, and faded late in Pavlik II. I'm thinking Joe would have pretty much Lacied him in the championship rounds.

More beatdown than theft.

 

Think about Roy.
Think about Carl.
Think about how many there are all time that can try to be a Roy Jones.
Now think how close Carl can be to being Roy Jones.
