Calzaghe vs. Bute at 168

Depends if the judges count the slaps as punchs.

 

doubtful, the man is too humble for his own good.

honestly, i like bute and i'm certainly not calzaghe's biggest supporter but he's still the greatest 168 pounder ever (not H2H but all around) and bute has yet to prove he's in his class. bute vs kessler is more realistic but even with the layoff, calzaghe outworks him, adapts to bute's subtle shifts and dominates down the stretch for a lopsided UD

 

Right now? I'd pick Bute to win. No way Calzaghe can have the same stamina he used to have if he hasn't been training for a year and a half. That said, prime Calzaghe wins a decision over Bute, but I think Bute gives him a tough fight. Probably around 8-4 on the cards.
