    Tiger was a badass who beat Jose Torres at 175. To be quite honest with you... I could see Tiger beating Sloppy Joe. Tiger was 10000x better than Jeff Lacy.

    I don't think anyone is saying Lacy could ever compete with Tiger? Lacy is/was pretty bad. The two fighters shouldn'y be mentioned together.

    The fight I can think of that remainds of this one is Ray Leonard vs Tommy Hearns. Ray won, which is who Calzaghe style emulates a bit, at least in terms of of this fight and Leonard won by KO.

    This thread is a bit of a ****ing jest, isn't it? Why make this match up? Foster by knockout between 1 and 4.

    The Jones knock down was against Jones' arm bone (hard bone) and the Hopkins one was a knockdown.

    Both times Calzaghe got straight back up and looked completely unfazed or shaken and went on to win the fight.

    Joe was off balance and obviously not hurt by these punches. He wasn't even needing to hold after uppercuts from Kessler that would have KO'd most fighters.

    Intruiging matchup, of course as usual, the fighter from the past is seen as invincible and the recently active fighter as not worth carrying his jockstrap...why is boxing filled with so much nostalgia?

    speaking as someone who saw both live & as a big Joe fan I would have to go with foster by late Tko , yes Joe had a good chin but Fosters power would IMO have got to him, like Chris Finnegan Calzaghe would have frustrated him with his speed & movement but just as with Chris Bob would still have the power late on for the stoppage

    Ezzard Charles and Michael Spinks would give Foster problems imo.
    Calzaghe gets knocked out early in similar fashion to Tyson Ko over
    Trevor Berbick.

    Exactly what I was thinking. These types of threads are so predictable.
