    Calzaghe would beat the ever loving **** out of Santos.....puhlease!

    Joe is the bigger man and in my opinion more skilled. A younger Calzaghe could also be aggressive and once he had his man hurt he would stay on them - just look at the fight with Veit, both of them infact!

    Calzaghe by stoppage, and I don't see Santos being a big threat.

    Other than the fact that they are both southpaws I totally disagree.

    Too much of a weight difference.

    And I beg to differ that SAntos has an exciting style. His fights with Margarito were not exciting. If you can't make a Margarito fight exciting, where do you go from there.

    Santos used to be more exciting, but, somewhere along the way he got hurt and he because less aggressive. I can't remember which fight it was in. Maybe when Jantuah KO'd him.

    Santo fought above 154 one time! He fought some guy who was 8-8 at 160. Joe would simply be to big, to strong, and to skilled for Santos. He'd slap the ever loving **** out of santos.

    Santos at 21 his first fight fought at 152...he fought above 154 one, 156 to be exact, but the 2nd fight with Margo fought at 164 the night of the fight..., he is a relatively big guy for 154...I was clear saying a fight at 168, sure Calzague is the natural bigger guy, but again styles makes fight and I would have like to see this fight....Santos frame can handle the extra weight....and sure Santo will not carry his punching power to 168, but he aint a pillow puncher either....in a lot of way, sure Calzaghe is the far more skillfull fighter but styles makes fight, and again Santos is not a chump, he got skills also, and fairly good hand speed....
    I would have like to see this fight...and like I said on the title this would have been an interesting fight..I never said Santos would win....

    Santos would be more of a challenge than Kessler?

    What are your reasons for this train of thought?

    tito trinidad fought jones at basically supermiddle give 2lbs and every advantage he had at lower weights was negated by moving up in weight and he was fairly average

    winky wright another fighter who has lost a lot going from 154 to super middle.

    even pavlik a big middle lost a lot.

    i do not know why santos would be different .

    What the hell is the deal with Santos being put in high regard?

    He is an oversized lightheavyweight brawler dwarfing his opponents at Light Middleweight. :-(

    So you are seriously suggesting that a very good 154 against an elite 175 would be competitive?

    Damn it what the **** is up with this forum, bunch of ******s.
