    I see Michalczewski beating Calzaghe either on a close decision, or via mid rounds KO.

    Dariusz finds Calzaghe's beard with his screeching left hook in the mid rounds. The only question is does Calzaghe beat the count. If so, Michzlczewski goes on to win a competetive UD.

    I got to say I don't see anyone wearing Calzaghe down,at 36 he had the best stamina of anyone in the world above middleweight so god knows what he was capable of in his prime.

    I got to say if Michzlczewski stops Calzaghe it'd be early,the first 2 or 3 rounds.If it gets past the fourth its going the fill 12.I think Calzaghe would land at will and get a clear UD.

    DM by late KO. DM had one of the best jabs you ever want to see, and all the tools, but defence. Yet vs Hill he suddenly had defence, and out jabbed Hill.
    It wasn't that DM got better, everyone else got worse, because he made everyone fight all three minuntes.
    And By the Way vs Gonzales I had DM winning the first two rounds to my surprise.
    Harmon? The guy after Hall 2, Said Jones was the better athlete, but DM hit harder.

    In a neutral venue I take Calzaghe to win, he would of been a classic 15 rounder fighter if he had the chance.

    Calzaghe WU15 (9-6)

    DM was bigger in his prime and carried more pop. Calzaghe's been hurt by weaker LHW's bigtime, I say DM wins KO 10.

    That DM was a slow starter usually.

    Joe Calzaghe wins this in my opinion. He was faster and had better punch output. DM liked to have time and space to box with his left jab. Calzaghe would be on him all night long.
