    Styles make fights so they say. So a clash of Joe Calzaghe and Saul Alvarez could potentially be a great fight..?
    Or not?
    Your opinion?

    It's a good fight but a clear fight. Calzaghe 10-2

    Calzaghe isn't Caleb Plant. He beats Canelo cleanly with his hand speed and combination punching.

    Chanello now looks invincible, and Calzaghe is undefeated.
    Without underestimating, my sympathy is Calzaghe.
    During his career, Calzaghe never seemed hopeless to me, while Canelo did.
    51/49 Calzaghe.

    Yep, Calzaghe definitely had that.
    Saul has good counter work and can work that jab well, I do see it being a little close maybe on the cards.

    Canelo would be sucking gas by the end of this one as he wouldn't be able to take time off during the fight. Calzaghe wins convincingly.

    Canelo has no way to win.

    None.

    Canelo is too flat footed. You can’t be when you have a guy throwing 80-90 punches a round in combination, constantly changing angle without running, and a peppering right jab that’s hard to slip to counter. Calzaghe late stoppage.

    When was Calzaghe ever in an exciting fight?

    He wasnt because he was a level above his opponents.

    Calzaghe slaps Canelo into a dreamlike, tainted state of Bolivianation.

    I'll have to take your word for it. I've never seen him fight. Had to assume they've all been boring.
