Joe C would beat Kovalev, handily. Too much workrate, hand speed too fast, Iron Chin.

    I say it was possible, not a shoe in. If Billy Conn can give Louis hell, what would a faster, more versatile Calzaghe do? Think about it.

    no one is thinking about it except you.

    Apart from the comic value of it, which everyone appreciates.

    Yeah him and Cleverly are one and the same. Except they're not. Thinking Calzaghe gets starched is a legitimate opinion. Kovalev is decimating his opposition at a weight where an ageing Calzaghe looked less than stellar but using Cleverly getting a hiding to support this claim makes you like a total imbecile.

    Clevs chin is probably better than joes, to be fair. He has only been dropped by kovalev, I think? kovalev is an elite.

    joe has been down several times against 40somethings and middlers.

    that said joe is probably a bit better defensively than nate, he might last a bit longer than Clev did, if we actually were in an alternative universe where Calzaghe dared to fight prime LHWs.

    ROFLMAO Just imagine Slappy Joe pitty patting Sergey??? He'd just laugh at the slaps . He'd play with Slappy till he got bored then he'd just destroy him This could never happen though how on earth could you ever get Slappy in the ring with Kovalev. Heck he even tried to back out of the Lacy fight claiming injury LOL Enzo had to kick his cowardly ass and make him fight

    You know when you think about it this MVC clown has got to be one of the mods having a little fun. No one is as ridiculous & dumb as he portrays surely He's fun to laugh at but get s boring after a while:hi:

    he would.


    then joe would visibly turn towards his Cardiff ref to ask him to rule a slippage/falter from sergey as a stoppage, and joe woud avoid the rematch like the plague.

    You seem upset, why is that? I said we've seen what Kova did to Slappy Joe's countryman Nathan Cleverly, trained by Enzo Calzaghe to be the next great fighter from Wales.

    The fight would take place in the UK like I expect it to cause Slappy Joe never left his backyard unless facing a 50 year old man or a shot, punch drunk former great.

    Enzo Calzaghe had no plan for Cleverly against Kova, the Welshman was groomed the same way Slappy Joe was. Kova enters Slappy Joe's backyard, and pummels him till he's a gross, disfigured mess. I'm guessing Slappy get's knocked down a couple of times only to have the ref hault the fight and carry Joe back to his corner like they did for Cleverly. Despite some shaky moments, Joe's chin and will would eventually see him to the final round.

    If he tries humping Kova like Slappy did to Hopkins, that might anger Krusher and he'll get him out of there earlier and possibly endanger Slappy's life. It all depends how Joe approaches the fight.


    Only way I can possibly see Slappy Joe winning is if he slaps Kova a couple of times in the arms and the ref immediately waves the fight off. It happened before, can happen here.

    cowardzaghe only attempted that when the 40something he was facing was gasping for air.

    Agreed.
    Kovalev seems to telegraph the right hand and Calzaghe would avoid that and box to a clear decision possibly even middle late KO.

    Calzaghe :deal

    How can you be a big fan of Usyk but not respect and admire the accomplishments of the Krusher?

    I'm a huge Calzaghe fan, he has no chance against Kovalev. Cut the bull**** hating.

    only failey can fail so bad as to think joe knocks out anyone when he never did it bare more than once in his career.
