Joe Calzaghe v Carlos Monzon Who Wins?

Calzaghe by slappage

 

People need to relaise how good Joe actually was. Sure he didn't get as many big fights as he should but he was a truly great fighter. His speed, stamina, ring skill and heart would make him a match for any fighter around his weight - ever. Say what you like but that's simply true. I think his reputation will mature just as he did as a fighter. In 20 years people might finally appreciate what he had.

The accusations of slapping always slap me as jealousy - the fact he could 'slap' his way to victories (let's not forget that his style was adjusted due to horrific hand injuries - he was actually a seriously hard hitter as a youngster) over Lacy, Kessler, Jones and Hopkins (who else in and around his weight class could deal with B-hop as he did that night, regardless og B-hop's whinging) show what a world class fighter he was.

Please can we put the jealousy to the side and celebrate someone who was and always will be a great fighter, and the greatest super-middle we've ever seen to date.

 

Calz would be competitive, but down the stretch I see Monzon's accuracy taking a toll on Joe.

 

But how are we supposed to know how good he really was if he wasn't in many big fights???

 

:yep

Agreed,
Calzaghe by UD, (The fight would have had to be at 168)

 

Escopeta by brutal, brutal ****.

 

Monzon and then he ****s Calzaghe's woman for good measure.

 

Then your woman I imagine. Or man - I can't work out who you bat for.

 

Old men Hopkins and Jones put Joe C. down with their right hand, imagine what Monzon would do.

 

:blood Because Monzon is half as crafty and quick as Hopkins atsch

Calzaghe UD - too much speed, movement and stamina for the smoking tortoise

 

:deal :thumbsup

 

Who are the 3 ****tards that voted for joe by KO!??

 

Monzon by ****
