    Joe would be hitting from so many angles he'd think he was fighting three of him.

    G-Man....though its not a 100% confident prediction, more like a 60-40 split.

    i think JC would win this fight Prime 4 Prime but it is a 60-40 fight. i think JC has a good enough chin to not get blown away early and will work him out and start hitting from all the angles and take it on points but in his prime JC could bang so maybe a late stoppage

    ohhh now this would be a hard one to call...the early rounds would have been dominated by the G-Man catching Calzaghe with some eye catching punches, an i can def see Calzaghe on the canvas early in this...
    after weathering an early storm, Joe gets back into the fight an starts picking up rounds....but i'd go for the G-Man to pull out a split decision with the knockdown the difference!!? :thumbsup

    joe would've beat the g-man that got in the ring versus benn
    gerald fell in love with his power (which was ridiculous) and forgot how to box

    after getting tagged a couple times, joe would adjust and then outbox him to a decision

    btw i'm sort of using joe in the lacy fight as a model, if it were the earlier joe that engaged in the slugfest with byron mitchell, then joe would get ko'ed

    A tough one, when you look at McClellans record he never knocked out any class fighter with a rock solid chin like calzaghes. his two most impressive kos came against mugabi and jackson both who had been stopped previously. No doubt he had amazing power I just think a prime calzaghe could avoid those bombs and take a decision maybe having to get off the deck to do it.

    Joe's pretty open to right hands and McCellan breaks necks with his right. Goes past 5 and its Calazages fight, but it may not

    if joe's still standing and in fairly good nick by the mid rounds then he'll turn up the heat and bring into question geralds questionable stamina as the fight goes long.

    my gut feeling is that gerald has to get him early (which is not beyond him obviously) or risk losing a decision to the harder working man.

    50-50 fight.....from what i've seen from both fighters......well maybe just 51% to JC.

    G-man would stand a chance of an early stoppage. If it went more than 3 or 4, and i think it probably would have, Calzaghe would win.
