    Lets say that they decided to meet at 160. It doesnt seem so far out since Mayweather has fought at 154 already and did well against an aging yet live DLH. IMO that fight was very close until the 10th.
    Also lets say Calzaghe could make 160. Im not so familiar with his making weight but i can assume that it wouldnt be easy since he talks of moving up to light heavy.

    Who would win and what would happen?
    Calzaghe fans give us some input since you know him best but please try not to be so biased...

    Joe would never ever make 160

    Hope this helps

    To make 160 Joe would have to cut an arm off so I'd go with Mayweather beating a one armed Calzaghe.

    Joe's too smart to weight drain himself to a point where he has no stamina whilst fighting a world class boxer.

    P4P though Joe dominates Mayweather who's inside fighting is laughably poor in comparison, shrink Joe to Mayweather's size and all other attributes are equal.

    It's beyond the realms of fantasy really. You would have to imagine Joe at 160 without being considerably weight drained. You'd also have to imagine there isn't a big size difference

    Joe would win. He would hit harder than anyone Floyd has faced, he would totally bully him on the inside, and as a result Floyd would retreat into his shell and resort to potshotting as he has done on occasions

    Joe could let his hands fly with no fear of being hurt, and would stop him early

    This is dumb scenario. However, if they were the same size, Mayweather would beat Calzaghe with relative ease.

    I really doubt that
    If they were the same size i think Calzaghe might even knock Mayweather out. Mayweather would be eating too much leather due to Calzaghes speed.

    Hmmmm. Joe's probably better, p4p than Corrales, Castillio, Hatton, and fights with more balls than DLH. All things being more or less equal , Floyds better p4p and would win a decision, but not easily.

    Calzaghe would give him hell on a p4p scale. He is so fast and busy, its a matchup I cant really envisage tbh.

    Calzaghe wins by default as PBF faints while he's walking into the ring as the thought of fighting the greatest fighter ever overwhelms him and he passes out.

    Calzaghe would die at 160. :lol:

    Anyway...I think Calzaghe would win.

    lol another thread without a purpose:-(
    Its hard to imagine this as a fantasy matchup.

    But if it were to happen I pick FLoyd by UD.

    If they both somehow kept there same sttributes in there respective weight classes etc.
