    Prime for prime...

    I'd say Graham just nicks it, and i'm a big fan of Calzaghe..

    168 to big for herol against a very big supermiddle.

    a guy who doesnt trust his punch with a big workrate and a solid defence while also being a fellow southpaw. it has to be calzaghe. graham coudl bowl around but i think he just cant keep it up and would be swarmed into a corner then when he attacks calzaghe tips and counters.


    not a fight herol would look good against.

    I agree that moving up to 168 would be a bit of a Quantum Leap for Herol.

    Calzaghe takes it, but Graham would be taking it.

    A lot of Herol's opponents would miss with a shot, miss with another shot, maybe even miss with a third shot...then would seek to realign, they would probe and fence looking not to be left swiping the air...and Herol would have them where he wants them, Thinking, worried and punc(h)uated by Herol's counters of course,..Hesitant, and Herol would then of course set about exploiting these frustratioins, but i think with Joe, who is not unused to missing some shots in his very fast flurries, he is quite happy with punches 4, 5 and 6 being the acheivers in his combinations, so i suspect it would be Joe who has the last word when they engage, Joe is not a straight-line stumble-footed swinger it would be hard for Herol to have the last word when they do engage, Herol could be something of a ring Houdini, but even old Harry boy got undone by a punch that he wasnt ready for, I think that happens here, and not being used to being hit hard and often Herol may misjudge under Joe's pressure and Zig when he should Zag...I think Joe nails Herol Late, Herol could be something of a Magican in the Ring, but with only two sleeves...Once those Flowers have been pulled, and that Dove has flown...and that Bunny pulled from the top hat...Herol has nothing left...Joe snaps his wand circa 10th..

    Calzaghe is far too big and strong.
