    Calzaghe and De La Hoya fight NOTHING alike. I repeat, absolutely NOTHING.

    This is laughable.

    i think you meant southpaws(lefties) hmm.. same size i'd surprisingly give it to joe. like with B-hop, joe would get pop shot alot from floyd and outgunned, but joes akward footwork and pressure would catch floyd, not flush, but land either ways. probably joe

    Its hard to pick anyone vs Mayweather but if everyone were the same weight then Calzaghe has the best chance to beat him IMO. Tough fight for both men.

    Tough one to call my arse, Calzaghe in what would be a good fight, all things being equal ofcourse. Otherwise this does sound a little stupid.

    i seen pbf beat odh 8rds to 4.because it was odh they made it close fight.but the fight was not close at all.pbf clearly won that fight.castillo was still his hardest fight after that would be against emmanuel agusta.
     
  13. LOL.

    Same size? Then 12-0 Mayweather or KO. Floyd is out of Joe's league. Come on. You are talking about a man who moved up in weight repeatedly to find greater challenges versus one who avoided that until mature and near the end of his career. Floyd is one of the best conditioned fighters ever and a prodigy from a family of fighters. Joe has great endurance/stamina and a lot of heart but if you boil him down to 5'8" he wouldn't have a single comparative advantage over Floyd. On a one-off, Joe at 168 would have a terrible time finding Floyd at 150. You might need a 15 round fight for Joe to finally catch and hurt Floyd as Floyd would win a majority of the rounds (unless you reward ineffective aggression) as he would pot shot him over and over again always remaining a full step ahead and never tiring. Joe is only comparable to Oscar in that his power is probably the same because Oscar is basically a 154. Oscar is a much better offensive technician than Joe. Take away Oscar's and Joe's size advantage and Floyd beats them both handily.
