    I think it's his usual failure at a sense of humour.

    Watson would walk him onto right hands all night and win a decision.

    He was a special fighter.

    Calzaghe would just pull out a close decision for me, Joe had an amazing ability to adapt to styles, i see him losing a few or the early rounds then adapting to watsons style and pushing him back up on the ropes and letting loose to eek out a 1 point victory

    not taking anything away from Watson but it would be a great fight

    Calzaghe close ud in a great fight. Can see Joe's variety and workrate (not that Watson's wasn't good) being the difference here. Agree with Spearmint however about Calzaghe being walked on to right hands though.
    Lot of 90's vs 00's fantasy fights being talked about today and this is the best one imo.
