    Who wins htis fight? I think this would be a great fight. I would lean to Joe finishing Hearns early. Hearns was a great fighter but he had a terrible chin. His chin was so bad he makes Wladamir Klitschko's chin look like iron. I mean Hagler had Hearns lying on the floor like he was dead and Hagler wasnt even that big of a puncher.

    My final pick, Joe TKO 5 in an exciting back and forth fight. Hearns chin just gives up on him.

    Hearns chin gives out????? hell no Calzaghe doesn't have a knockout punch.

    Calzaghe only has 2 Knockouts on his record and those came really early in his career. The rest are tko's

    I said TKO. Calzaghe def. had the power to put Hearns down, his power is underrated.

    All depends on which era Calzaghe you're talking about. Young Calzaghe had some pretty serious power

    exciting back and forth fight? Hearns had such a "terrible chin" that it makes Wlad's look like iron?? don't make me laugh, Hearns would easily outbox Calslappy for the entire fight. Hearns is better in every department except for chin.

    All Hearns KO losses were actually TKOs tho.

    I think Calzaghe might win a decision but he might take a trip to the canvas en route.
    I think his size will get to Tommy down the stretch.

    Late Calzaghe takes him to points
    Mid Calzaghe TKOs the ****er
    Early Calzaghe loses on points or late stoppage

    :think I don't see Calzaghe having the power to K.O. Hearns
    (Regardless of how bad a rep Tommy's chin has)

    IMO, Virgil Hill was as good if not better than Joe @ the point when
    a past prime Hearns defeated him..

    Don't think Tommy was ever even losing a fight before his chin gave out?
    (Anyone know for sure? (Rounds) )

    Hearns defo took his punch w/him while moving up.
    That straight right seems to be a punch Cal get's hit with.

    hard not to choose Tommy.
    And seeing this is a H2H fantasy, I assume Hearns is as good a 168lbs as could be (Obvious not his best weight).

    Tommy Hearns by K.O. or SD. (Depends if he catches Calzaghe)

    Is mid Calzaghe the won he stuttered to a points win over David Starrie and many others drawing many boos from the crowd everywhere he fought?

    Hearns would beat any version of Calzaghe.....................

    Early Calzaghe is Calzaghe from his debut to eubank
    Mid is his fight up until Mitchell
    Late is mitchell to Jones

    Hearns is great but Calzaghe beats him soz. and the boos from the crowd, i may be wrong but isnt that when calzaghe fought starrie on his own turf? Of course your gonna get ****ing booed when you aint fighting at home

    Calzaghe was booed because he was ****ing awful mate and stunk the place out.This was on the undercard of Tyson/Francis.
