Archie Moore vs. Joe Calzaghe?

If he crushes Kessler and Dawson by way of definitive shutout/destruction, will you reconsider picking Bivins over him?

 

I'd think two wins of that fashion over those two A level elite guys would at the very least solidify the arguments coming from Calzaghe fans.

For the average person, it could at the very least rank him up there with Jones' ability on a H2H basis.

Bivins would stand little chance to begin with. But maybe you all will see like Achilles does for the fight with Moore, lots of scenerio's, instead of just outright picking the current cemented ATG.

 

But what I don't get is how you pick Joe over James Toney and claim it would be quite clear, but then act as if Dick Tiger and Bivins are less clear.

All of the purists even agreed that Calzaghe has a nasty stylistic advantage over Tiger, just like he does over the defensively tentative counter puncher in James Toney(against speed). I think Toney is several steps up in terms of ability and skill from Tiger or Bivins.

 

I don't know McGrain, that Mikkel Kessler is pretty impressive. I've been watching a lot of him lately and he's a very complete fighter for his style, I could see him making a serious impact after the Calzaghe bout, win or lose.

Bivins doesn't strike me as of Kessler's class in skill, or surprisingly, handspeed.

 

I know, but it's not for the majority. Most wouldn't even admit 'interesting bout' at the very least.

I have NO problem with anyone selecting Moore considering where we are coming from, but I have a problem with -

'Calzaghe's fought noone, Moore by easy KO early'. As if it is a dead certainty that Calzaghe has no chance. This is where the underrated issue's come into play and why Calzaghe fans become so 'twisted'.:yep
