    Would Calzaghe outwork him over the course of 12 rounds or would Triple G walk right through them and KO Calzaghe?

    Kova would beat zaggers, but ggg would get his head peppered with flurries all night. GGG is not as good a boxer as kovalev, im sure of it. you don't go to war with GGG, But elites with speed can outbox him. Also zaggers was a pretty sturdy and big bloke.

    edge calzaghe resume wise.why? 3G has only 2 good wins, calzaghe has arguably one more than him. but 3G will surpass joes resume with one more win.

    but asked h2h2 - in H2H, joe has weight advantage.

    but lets be fair, no way cowardzaghe is going to dare get in the ring with 3G, Golovkin would scare Joe stupid and Joe would cover up his terror by laughing at 3G from Cardiff (whislt 3g is hundreds of miles away in Europe) and saying 3G wasn't worth a title shot at his wbo title. And then he would go on to fight some unknown subnational that got beat by the guy who got beat by the guy who got beat by the guy who got beat by 3G.

    Calzaghe would never fight someone like GGG, as he said, he knew his limitations, shame his deluded fans don't.

    He's the most overrated boxer of all time.

    Calzaghe lived off fighting bums, and towards the end of his career decided to fight a shot RJJ, and win a robbery over Hopkins.

    That wasn't a robbery at all.

    Santa Cruz vs Casamayor, IMO, is the true definition of a robbery in boxing, not Calzaghe beating Hopkins.

    A bad style matchup for him.

    Fight doesn't happen because Calzaghe injured his right hand and is air-sick. Golovkin needs to be at least 38 years old or above for Calzaghe to miraculously recover from his air-sickness.

    At 168? Calzaghe if he survives a KD or two might steal this one.
