    I asked you to give me some details so I could answer the question. You have failed to do that.
    So once again, give me the specifics and I will answer with what I think.
    Easy and simple only, like I pointed out you started with an agenda and I called you up on it.
    Too easy schooling you. You give me the ammunition to use on you lol

    That's a good post even if I don't agree with every part of it.

    Kessler and Lacy were in their prime but more importantly Calzaghe won those fights unlike GGG who lost and drew to Canelo. Hopkins wasn't in his prime but that's still a better win than GGG's best win (Jacobs).

    lacy was a hype job tbf, and calzaghe exposed him, much like froch did with bute.
    kessler was clearly calzaghe's best win against a prime fighter, and i 100% agree that even a hopkins at 42-43 was better than jacobs, as well as a prime kessler for that matter.

    read my very first post again.
    it asks a simple question.
    it speaks volumes that you're having a hard time giving a straight answer.

    ATGs my arse. It's a fight I'd have watched though. Govkin, shitty resume and all would probably be Calsacky's best opponent at 168.

    I don't think Kessler would beat Jacobs.

    True. But Lacy and Kessler were lesser fighters, and many people think that GG should have been awarded the win in the first Canelo fight.

    The Hopkins win is the best win of Joe’s career.

    What is this nonsense about GGG being clowned? He's not going to be clowned by anyone around his weight class. You'll have to go up to Usyk size/skill before that might happen.
    What a fantasy, the notion of GGG being clowned, it's never happened his entire career and he's fought 'slicksters'.
    Speed isn't everything. GGG would time Calzaghe and hits harder. Probably has a better chin too. Don't see him getting floored by middle-aged Hopkins.
    I wouldn't confidently pick a winner because it also depends who's judging. I could see Calzaghe getting a points decision in a close fight in the UK. But I could also see GGG landing and KDing or even TKO'd Calzaghe for a win. GGG would have no issue walking through the scoring punches to land his bombs. You need more than that to hold him off. Not to mention Joe could easily get drawn into a brawl and then come unstuck.
