Thanks because I just got got some off his fights, because I found out that most of his great fights from lw to MW were not around which was his better days with 1 punch KO power. But Floyd is good fighting back. Calzaghe is up their to. Leonard was great also along with Sweet pea :good
I don't think it's a bad style matchup at all...Calzaghe's favorite opponents are the ones who come in straight forward nonstop because he's got the speed to land when the fighters on the way in, then rotate to turn and stop that fighters forward momentum, and the conditioning to do it the entire fight. He also clinches, which is something that helps against Johnson. He'd win a wide UD by the time it's all said and done.
Of course he is. Certainly in WWE or whatever the hell fight he won a few weeks ago. Calzaghe would certainly be murdered by that 7 foot behemoth.
Quite the opposite, Calzaghe would be a legend both sides of the Atlantic already had he fought Johnson (big name American based fighter) several years ago.
Damn, if only he had more faith in his ability, ay? Not too big on second-guessers, to be honest. And what will you say if he only wins 116-112?
So couldn't Joe beat him, even with his "personal problems"? Methinks Joe pulled out TWICE of a fight with Johnson, because Joe believed the fight would be harder than any other fight he had (up until that time, at least)
Johnson has had a lot of close fights go against him, but the fact he has had so many close fight against guys who are not always elite shows his level. Gle johnson is not elite, hes good, nothing more. G johnson pressure style is made for Joe Calzaghe, look through JCs record and its there. Calzaghe WIDE UD over Johnson.
Of course he would sunshine. You mean like he beat Hopkins? What about Clinton Woods? Or like Gonzalez? Or perhaps when he beat Sheika? Glen Johnson is a decent operator, but Joe is many levels above him. Every Johnson fight is a war. Jesus these Calzaghe haters are clowns. Dawson's problem is a leaky defence, it was far more competetive than it ought to have been.
Calzaghe never went life and death with Bika, he won this fight quite easy I thought, just that it wasnt a pretty fight and Bika's only chance of succcess was to use dirty tactics which Calzaghe ended up getting engaged in war and didnt look good in the process, but no way was this life and death. I dont understand why Calzaghe is getting bashed these days, more haters than fans.
