Canelo vs Calzaghe

Over here zaghe on points.usa Cameltoe on points.

 

Calzaghe. Even if he broke the compu-box I doubt he'd get a decision though

 

Calzaghe if scorecards were honest. Canelo would not be able to cut ring off well enough, and Calzaghe would out land him up close or at range. Both got granite chins so would have 12 rounds written all over it.

 

Calzaghe wins on points for me - one of our greatest ever boxers would land on the pea frequently no problem with his handspeed.

If in the USA, then Canelo gets a Fury v McDermott 1 decision.

 

Calzaghe is too big, too good and too busy. He just is.

 

Think i said canelo on another thread but having time to think about it i,d say calzaghe mainly because hes the naturally bigger man. Think canelo would do froch but that would have been a great fight...but think calzaghe might have the skillset to offset canelo.

Still laugh when i think back to what joe and enzo achieved together...just a pity it took so long to get the big fights.

 

Joe makes him look like a white ginger jeff lacy

 

Canelo could not get near Mayweather and he would have exactly the same problem v Calzaghe while being hit frequently with punches himself.

 

Calzaghe went from being underrated while he was active (mostly his own fault) to being ridiculously overrated by many now he's retired. Every fantasy match-up discussion is full of people saying that Calzaghe does a Jeff Lacy on anyone put in front of him. Even though in the real world his prime years were spent going life and death with Robin Reid and laboring to dull points victories over meddling opponents like Rick Thornberry and David Starie. With the only person he ever did a Jeff Lacy on being Jeff Lacy.

I swear these people must have only watched the Lacy and Kessler fights and didn't catch the Hopkins fight either for some reason, as that seems to have been completely erased from their memories when it comes to assessing how Calzaghe would do against P4P elites.

 

Canelo KO's him mid to late

 

Very close fight

 

Even if Joe makes Canelo look like a white Lacy Canelo might still get the decision in vegas.

 

Calzaghe was nowhere near as elusive or as defensively sound as Mayweather and was always susceptible to right hands. This is what I mean about Calzaghe getting overrated and people looking back at his career through rose tinted glasses. So Byron Mitchell, Kabary Salem, old man Hopkins and a shot to pieces Roy Jones could all get to Calzaghe and drop him, but Canelo couldn't? Come on.

Plus this versions of Canelo is very different to the pre-Mexican beef Canelo that fought Mayweather.
