In many ways Joe Calzaghe is similar to Carlos Monzon. 1) Joe's "refuse to lose" mentality. Monzon also had an amazing "arrogant confidence" in...
One difference to consider. Monzon is the greatest middleweight ever. Champ for seven years, beat world class opposition consistently and retired...

Abrams by decision. Abrams was robbed in his fight against Robinson. Most newspaper accounts of the fight felt Abrams won.
Have you seen Inkin fight? At 168 he would give Dawson a boxing lesson. Froch has the power to stop Dawson. Stop assuming that Dawson is so...
Chin is too soft and defense is too porous for him to succeed at heavyweight. He would be destroyed by fighters like Povetkin, Dimentroko, Virchis...
All good points!
