    Too early to tell. Still don't know how bute would handle a guy in his face that was as fast or most likely faster than himself, but if he keeps improving, i'd lean towards to a bute win over the ATG.

    Calzaghe outworks him to close UD.

    Tough pick but you may be right.

    How would Calzaghe handles Bute's body shot?:think

    Calzaghe on intangibles and greater stamina.

    If we are talking prime for prime, I'll go with Calzaghe. He just throws a lot and and has relatively fast hands. Bute doesn't like to throw except on his terms, and Clazaghe USUALLY dictates the terms of who's throwing when.

    Right now, if Calzaghe came out of retirement, Bute wins by wide UD or maybe stoppage.

    Calzaghe will try to slap Bute around the ring all night and will get his heart, and the hearts of his dozens of fans, broken by getting his first KO loss! man every time anyone fights close to his weight it is joe this and joe that! Admit it he duck Froch, yes Froch (LMFAO) to fight a shot RJJ. He retired just in time because he saw the new crop of fighters coming up! Has there ever been a more over rated fighter in the eyes of his fans? I was so happy when he retired because I was hoping he would fade away, but every other day you get Joe vs the volcano or Joe vs Jesus. I wish he would just go away for good!

    Calzaghe UD and easily and i don't like Joe, the Bute hype train is getting out of hand if he didn't fight at home he lost to Andrade by KO in the first fight but thanks to his home cookin' he was able to stay undefeated.

    Like those two would have ever got it on, it's has Ottke part 2 written all over it.

    Still I guess we could have the Canada ice rink connected to the Wales ice rink via Wii:

    Watching those clips just made me remember how immensly talented and
    blazing FAST he was. And for an older man, enzo had insane reflexes and
    hand eye coordination. I don't think roger mayweather has **** on enzo
    when it comes to pad work.

    I agree the Calzaghe hype train is getting ridiculous!
