How would GGG do against Calzaghe?

I don't know how Calzaghe would fare at 164. He could come in drained. If not, I'd pick him to win a close decision after some scary moments. From 168 up, Calzaghe wins quite handily in my opinion, his defense and footwork are good enough to avoid heavy shots from Golovkin.

As the OP said, his chin was granite and his recuperative powers were impressive also so if Golovkin hurts him, Calzaghe has both the will and the smarts to adjust and not get caught again

 

Calzaghe had no chin b-hop and jones dropped him ffs! GGG walks through the slaps and takes his head off.

 

Everybody knows GGG
Nobody knew Calzaghe

How can someone duck a guy who nobody even knew existed?

FFS Calzaghes coming out party was against Lacy about 40 fights into his career

 

Who was GGGs coming out party against?
You say Calzaghes coming out party was against Lacy, but that was when he was a similar age to what Golovkin is now.
Also Calzaghe in that time had beaten Eubank, Brewer, Reid, Woodhall, Veit, Mitchell who were all top 10 and had or were holding SMW world titles, let alone the other top 10 fighters

 

Who KOd him? When was he having to hold to survive? When was he on bambi legs? Never

 

That's a tough one. I couldn't pick a winner if I wanted

 

with your record for picking winners that means golovkin by ko.

 

As of now, prime Calzaghe has every advantage except power over Golovkin and that wouldn't come into play, particularly at 168. What would come into play is GGGs much slower hands, feet and lesser work rate. He'd get beaten pretty clearly going by what he's done so far.

Going by past performances, Calzaghe managed to dominate all the champions he fought that resembled GGGs style and I don't see that much changing. Just had too much versatility and what does go for GGG, Calzaghe was bloody good at negating.

 

I really don't know. On the one hand I think GGG is slower and comes right at you so I can see Calzaghe clearly outboxing him. On the other hand I think Calzaghe often got reckless and got tagged so I can see Calzaghe walking onto something and getting stopped while ahead on points.

 

having any faith at all in Geale over Triple G means ydksab.
