Could Joe Calzaghe beat David Haye at Cruiser?

Roy had been doing that to people for years, Calzaghe was just showing he could do it too. There was a lot of mutual respect between both fighters before and after the fight.
Calzaghe suffers from damaged hands, it's common knowledge. Before he damaged them he had decent power.

 

A match up of borderline sadistic proportions.

Average Joe would be crushed by anything and everything Haye would throw. Conversely, Joe wading in throwing his arms around would be utterly futile given Haye's height and size. Seriously, picture in your head Joe just flapping those arms at thin air of tapping Haye's shoulders.

Haye KO in 3 or less.

 

No contest. Haye would finish him

 

Hell no ... Calzaghe is a great fighter but I doubt he recovers from one of those right hand bombs David Haye is known for.

 

Can you elaborate please . . . .

 

No way. Hopkins and old ass Jones were able to put Calzaghe on his ass at 175. Haye would pop his head clean off so it landed in the 5th row of seats.

 

Are you ****ing serious? Calzaghe was hittable, and Haye would knock him the **** out.

 

if someone posted something on here 2 years ago stating pacman to beat de la hoya it would recieve the exact same response. i see JC doing to haye what pac did to de la hoya. its a lot harder to come down in weight than it is to put on weight. haye now is finished in cruiser because if he comes down now it will take a lot out of him. look what happened when RJJ came down from heavy and lost to johnson and tarver.

 

A green Joe Calzaghe trounced a past prime Chris Eubank who nearly beat Carl Thompson who stopped David Haye.

Honestly, a prime Calzaghe (with good hands) would be too fast, too skillful and too clever for David Haye.

 

Amen.

 

Haye by murderous ko.

 

i think youre right, but surviving the first 4 round onslaught is quite another thing altogether:good

 

He "respected Roy too much for that"?You're joking,right?With all due respect,please read Calzaghe's biography,watch the fight again and reread your statement.Calzaghe spent much of the fight completely disrespecting Jones by showboating(As did Jones throughout much of career against many an opponent.Jones deserved that treatment in the Calzaghe fight.)Calzaghe showed absolutely disrespect for Jones that night as he couldn't stop himself from showboating and acting like a poor man's version of prime Jones,while knowing full well that Roy was shot.How do we know this?Calzaghe said in his autobiography that he would never fight Jones because Jones was shot and unworthy due to his brutal ko losses to Tarver and Johnson.Then,years later after the fight was signed,went around saying that Roy was still great.There are 3 truths about Calzaghe that are undeniable because of true,written down and witnessed occurances:1.Calzaghe was a great fighter.Like him or hate him,his victory over Kessler and undefeated record prove this.2.Calzaghe is a liar.How he could believe that someone would read his autobiography and not listen to his subsequent comments years later about SHOT Jones' alleged "greatness" is beyond me.3.Despite the fact that Calzaghe was a great fighter,he could not knock out even a shot Jones.These are the facts as the evidence is in and clear to anyone willing to open his/her eyes.

 

Well im tempted by the Status Quo, but Joe always found a way

Joe regulary beat up on Enzo in sparring so the guy can obviously stand his own with fearsome punchers. Whereas Enzo froze in the Haye spotlight, Calzaghe would do what he always did in times of crisis - and shine even brighter

If Haye had a granite chin, this one wouldnt even be up for debate, and, again, i'm tempted to join the Status Quo, but because of Haye's whisker vurnerability and stamina issues (up against the perhaps the fittest fighter of the past decade) Calzaghe has a chance



(and as for Joe's "putter-pett punches", both Lacy and Jones came away very surprised by the power Joe actually hit with. He also nearly had Kessler out of there with a body punch. Such power is more than enough to make the glass jawed Englishman think again)
