Wright camp are keen on Calzaghe

If Hatton beats Floyd, I'd put him at #1. He is coming up form 140lbs and beating the P4P #1. Then if Wright beats Cal, he is #2 and Pac drops to #3.

 

Dawg, I can't fault your logic but this P4P is utter crap. How long has it been going on? Did it all start with the alphabet belts?

 

I think it goes all the way back to Sugar Ray Robinson. I don't know, it is crap though, and frustrating a bit.

 

winky has a good chance in this fight. they'll be fighting at 168, right? that's just a division above winky's natural weight unlike in the hopkins fight where he fought 2 divisions up.

winky has one of the best D in boxing. and calzaghe even if he's the bigger fighter won't have a power advantage over winky. calzaghe will rely on activity and volume punching while winky will offset this with superior D and over-all better skills. this will be a close fight. i won't be surprised if this ends in a very close split decision or even a draw.

 

Goes back to SRR. Hey now we're talking PFP1. Guess it aint crap........

 

Same as me but I'd have Wright at 3 or 4 below Pacquiao and maybe Hopkins. Floyd would drop to number 5 maybe but it's tough because he started at a much lower weight so, like you say, in a "P4P sense" he might still be the best but we really have no choice but to take current form into account.

 

hmm... so what happens if pac beats jmm in march then?

 

Two of my favourite boxers meet at last. I give Calzaghe an edge because of the weight and ring youth, but I wouldn't be surprised if Winky pulls of the upset. Had it not been for Hopkins giving one of the worst exhibitions of sportsmanship ever (and having the ref on his side) I think he'd have lost to Winky, but Calzaghe is a vastly superior boxer to Hopkins.

 

Damnit :twisted:

 

i presume it would be at 168.
but at 170 winky looked heavy/slow and sluggish both of feet and hand, and it was only hopkins also looking quite slow that it was competitive throughout.

winky USED to have the best D in boxing , i thought he was pretty open in his last 3 or 4 fights.


i thought sam solimon gave wright all he could handle and calzaghe is a 5 inch bigger/faster/way more skillfull /harder hitter volume puncher who also can shut down his opponents best weapons and make him very hard to hit when he gets in his zone.

styles mak fights and i think hopkins style gives calzaghe problems , not sure if a 168 version of winky has enough speed of hand or foot to cope.

calzaghe isgoing to throw 2 timers a s many punches as hopkins/set a verty high pace and will not be backed up to the ropes like taylor was.

i do not think wright is a p4p 168 fighter in fact i think he would struggle v a lot of the contenders at 168 all of whom are bigger/stronger/faster and hit harder than wright.


i did call this fight a few days ago, wright is a name fighter but i do not beleive at 168 a dangerous one.

 

Wright is coming to the end of his career and he needs some big money fights. Calzaghe is the biggest money that he can hope to make.
