Beterbiev vs Calzaghe

Mismatch if we are being honest. Calzaghe is too weak and small. Beterbiev roughs him up, hurts him and forces the ref or Calzaghe's corner to rescue him from an overnight stay at the hospital.

 

Beterbiev stops him, too big and powerful for Calzaghe

 

Joe fan, but he gets wrecked.

 

Beterbiev gets another KO win

 

Fan of both. But Prime Super Joe gets the W. Of course with some scary moments here and there maybe having to get up from being dropped. But Joe finds his rhythm and absolutely outworks Artur. UD in the 8-4 ballpark. I could see a cuts stoppage too by Joe.

 

Good match up. I initially thought Calz boxes circles around AB too. After thinking, I think it would come down to if JC can get AB's respect. If not, I think AB would keep punching with Joe which would slow JC's output, eventually catching Joe. If Joe can keep AB honest, he boxes to a victory.

 

Beterbiev walks through the slaps to get to Calzaghe. Calzaghe may survive a round or two as he continues to experience pain like he never had before. Calzaghe will be glad when this fight comes to an end and he can go home to lick his wounds.

 

Slappy
And just so it's out there I really like super Joe

 

Beterbiev too big too strong at Light Heavyweight, Calzaghe was put down twice by an old Hopkins and old RJJ at Light Heavyweight.

 

Calzaghe is far better than Beterbiev

 

Calzaghe outboxes him comfortably until he gets slowed down by big body shots.

How would 'master boxer' with an Olympic background Gvozdyk do against Calzaghe?

 

Never really saw Calzaghe at LHW til 36... wudda been interesting to see how he'd do had he tried earlier.. phenomenal talent but his division was 168. Gotta favour Beterbievs strength & size here.

 

It really really depends on how much Beterbiev manages to land. Calzaghe was freakishly fast and quite elusive. On the other hand Beterbiev is an underrated boxer with underrated footwork. He's actually quite good at making a big ring small. He's also got a few sly little dirty tricks like stepping on a guy's foot to slow his mobility down. I honestly don't know who to pick, they're both standout performers.
