    Taylor can't match Calzaghe in any department :yep

    Even Joe's 'slaps' are the equal of Taylor's so called devastating right hand, neither knocked out any great opponent :rofl

    While not being a great fan of Taylor's, I cannot deny that I like the guy. He shows the utmost respect to all opponents and has a lot of heart. Top guy.

    Taylor is a better fighter than Calzaghe ... Calzaghe throws windmill punches and he doesn't show the ability to throw straight punches.

    You find a guy (Chad Dawson) who throws straight punches, just as fast, more mobile/agile, just as strong ... as Calzaghe he's going to find himself in alot of trouble. HIs most notable wins came against a straight up and down - come forward European style fighter and an aged fighter who recently has shown a decline in endurance. Hopkins still knocked him down and made him miss alot ... I think that Calzaghe is overrated ... I think in a shorter career, Taylor has fought just as many former/current champions than Calzaghe has in a damn near 20 yr career.

    Since we're on the subject of Calzaghe ... Taylor can beat Calzaghe ... I think that if they were to fight - Taylor would stop Calzaghe --

    Calzaghe depends much on speed and nothing else ... not boxing skill, chin, power, or defense.

    Calzaghe is very hittable ... squares up to his opponents when throwing combonations, and throws very wide punches.

    His foot movement is overrated ...

    What?

    It was the truth ... i'm not caught up in the hype of Calzaghe ... he's not impressive.

    I think a win over Kessler isn't impressive ... any fighter that uses angles could beat Kessler - he's a come forward fighter --

    Hopkins showed that he slows down in the latter rounds ... he didn't seem exausted but he didn't seem like he could keep up.

    Taylor is younger ... and a better boxer ...

    Guys that can beat Calzaghe:
    Lucian Bute
    Jermain Taylor
    Roy Jones Jr
    Chad Dawson
    Antonio Tarver

    Those guys can throw straight punches ... those guys would bust Calzaghe up. I'm sure that all of those guys seen the flaws in Calzaghe and knows that he's very limited. I like Joe's personality, but i'm not sold on his boxing ability.

    Oh yeah Pavlik as well ... i'm not completely sold on Calzaghe --

    Pavlik would be different because he would make Calzaghe fight going backwards and take whatever Calzaghe throws at him.

    JT has pride, just like Tyson did in defeat.
    A true fighter can always admit when they get best'd in the ring.

    a True wrestler...lol
    Nah of corse not, Bernard is ATG but he also was never knocked out or soundly beaten where peep's can say wow! Hopkins just got KTFO.

    So I can give B-Hop a pass on his complaint's.
    (He want's someone to knock him out, before he'll give them a prop)
