    Can Canelo tame the Welsh Dragon?

    It would be the most one sided draw in history.

    Calzaghe would school Canelo worse than Mayweather did.

    I give it to Canelo Alvarez all day everyday on pure accomplishment alone. Joe Calazaghe never beat anybody worth while whose career didn't start in the 80s. And some poster on here had the gull to speak on Roy Jones Jr. opponent options when Roy Jones , coming fresh off a fight in Boise Idaho, is Joe Calzaghe's best win. Canelo is levels above Joe.

    I reckon both Canelo and GGG would beat Calzaghe

    You can’t predict a Canelo win just based on accomplishments.

    Looking at how they’d have matched up stylistically is far more relevant.

    Joe was a southpaw who was taller with a longer reach. And he was a lot quicker with great stamina.

    You could make a case for Canelo being the better fighter if you analysed their skills, but this is H2H.

    Joe would have been heavily favoured due to his style and his attributes.

    I think Joe would have outworked both of them. And we’ve still not seen GG fight above MW.

    "Green" Canelo only had 8 years pro experience and was already a world champion :lol:

    You're talking like Canelo's 2 best wins aren't at the end of their careers. :lol:
