Calzaghe would beat every active fighter today from 160-175

Calzaghe has always been overrated....

 

Get the feck outta here you pratt. ****in ottkes career is littered with loses if he actually fought out of germany

 

I think you could expand that to 200 pounds and every heavyweight except the Klitschkos.

He is the number 1 ATG! He'd beat any Yank ever because every Yank that ever lived is overhyped. He should be canonized by the church as St. Joseph of Wales. He only fought at 75% the last five years of his career because he was worn out tending to the needs of the poor and having sex with all the runway models of the world.

 

calzaghe lacks skills? sure....

and johnson lost his shot at calzaghe when he had a close loss to omar sheika, IMO johnson just about won, but sheika went on to be brutally outclassed by calzaghe in his next fight. calzaghe would have beaten johnson comfortably at that time, and right before his retirement

 

Ward has a stamina problem. Against Sakio Bika, he lost 4 or 5 rounds because he couldn't stand the pressure. Calzaghe beat Bika by standing toe to toe. Ward (and Bute) had to run away from Bika.

Anyway, Calzaghe and Sven Ottke both lost to Robin Reid, who was great in his early years when he actually took his career seriously.

 

Reid pushed Calzaghe seriously close, thats debateable, but the fight against Ottke was an utter disgrace, Reid never had a chance with the corruption going on that night.

not to mention Brian Magee, who fights Bute next and is being under-rated like **** in another thread, almost got a fight with calzaghe, and pushed Reid very close even after being floored 4 times in the fight.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I think Ward, Dirrell, and Dawson beat him, I think Bute/Froch would have a chance, outside of that I could probably agree.

 

Of course Calzaghe lacks skills. His success was built almost purely on excellent handspeed, a good chin, superb stamina, and a high workrate. He was lacking in almost all other areas.

And you are talking utter bollocks about Calzaghe-Johnson. Calzaghe pulled out of the fight twice, as far as I remember he was injured once and the other time he was upset about his divorce or some bull****. Get your facts straight son.

 

Is there any, any, any chance that he comes back? For one money fight?

That fight would have to be vs the winner of Bute/Kessler/Dirrell vs S6 winner.

I'm sure he can get paid in coke too.

 

Calzaghe loses to Ward if he comes out of retirement.

Calzaghe's time back when he was the best boxer in the sport is long gone now.
