2001 Calzaghe vs 2001 Trinidad & 2004 Calcaghe vs 2004 De La Hoya

What a stupid question.

Comparing guys of significantly differnt size.

 

No they're not. They're both fatted-up welterweights. De La Hoya more so than Trinidad in fairness.

 

Agenda behind the question is fairly obvious. But still stupid, yes.

 

168lbs Calzaghe beats both 147lbs fighter's.
(Trinidad & De La Hoya have/had no business fighting above 154lbs)

What's the point?

H2H/P4P, Both beat him.
(Trinidad K.O.s him & De La Hoya outpoint's him)

 

calzaghe wins both by lopsided decisions

 

The point is, the thread starters obvious agenda was to show that two of Hopkins biggest names (I regret to inform her that Oscar is universally not considered one of his biggest wins BTW), Calzaghe would also beat. Which I agree with 100%. He would beat them both. But what that proves I have no idea, seeing as how Hopkins did as well.

A better thread would have asked how Calzaghe fairs against the Jones of 93 or the Taylor of 05. But agendas be what agendas are I guess.

 

Got cha' :good

 

I mean come on, Sturm beat DLH. What kind of question is this?

 

No to have a go Hatesrats but see this P4P pish !

What you are in essence saying is , if Trinidad and DLH were SMWs they would beat him easily, because all there attributes that strenght is part of suddenly increase by having extra weight , yet they dont lose anything ?

So what if Calzaghe was a Welter ? someone that fast at SMW by this rationale would be blindingly quick at Welter , somone with excellent stamina at SMW could basically punch non stop at Welter , Y'know it cuts both ways !

Anyhoo I certainly dont mean this to be a personal attack on you , its just frustrating the amount of time P4P discussion get on here when its such utter bull**** !

 

I thought Trinidad was a credible middleweight, he had the frame to carry himself at that weight. DLH was never a credible middleweight, he just wasn't.

But at the end of the day, Calzaghe is a 168lbs fighter, or a LH, so whats the point of this thread?

All I would say is that P4P, Trinidad and DLH are both far better than Calzaghe.

 

no, you just have **** all knowledge of boxing. Who else would start such a pointless thread.



I might do; Hearns and Leonard against Prime Tyson next :good

 

Hmmmm Tito might have had the frame but you could see in the fight Tito was soft bodied at 160 where as Hopkins looks like he was carved out of wood.

 

sounds a good thread fleaman and i will do jack kid berg vs ricardo lopez
or audley A-force vs errol christie

Which guy was the better LW? Hell, look at Calzaghe - Lacy...physique has little to do with readiness or ability at a certain weight class.
