    obvious I was joking about my previous post

    but if you really think about this fight then you have to give calzaghe a chance in this fight, a younger calzaghe who through punchs straight and with more power before his hand injuries really gave fighters trouble, joe is the bigger fighter and can really give hagler problems in this fight so i take calzaghe ud but as not easy as my previous post :bbb

    i still think it would be a close fight and i dont think anyone would get knocked out, maybe a knockdown, so when it goes to points it would be incredibly close, hagler with the more meaningful punches, calzaghe with the higher workrate.

    I think it would be a very close fight with hagler winning by maybe 2-3 points.

    hagler would be very small at 168, slower and plodding. he comes right forward. perfect style for joe really. i think joe wins a convincing decision. i think hagler is a much better fighter but its a bad style match up and hes too small

    Hagler has the punch-resistance and generalship to fight through what Calzaghe brings though. Some of these guys seem to think that this is a ridiculous comparison, but Calzaghe is a big SMW and Hagler is not a huge MW. So Joe is the bigger man. I think a win for him is possible, but he will have to come through serious, serious pressure and punching to do it, absolutley nothing like what he was faced with in Hopkins, arguably the opposite.

    As I said, Hagler should be favoured.

    maybe a better fight to predict would be steve collins and marvin hagler now that would be a much better fight than calzaghe hagler

    Joe's bigger and a prime joe cal could punch a bit, plus he has never been beat. So all the numpties thinking hagler will destroy joe are full of ****, if it was that easy he would of been beat by now :rofl


    It would be a very good fight, don't know who wins would lean towards joe c

    The work rate of Calzaghe would make the hagler fight good, because Haglers never fought anybody with work rate like Calzaghe. Calzaghe is also a pretty good boxer and good at adapting when he needs to. Hagler is a good switch hitter plus his durability would make it interesting.

    great logic, because Joe hasnt been beaten that means in a prime for prime matchup against Hagler, Joe obviously wins due to his undefeated record and weak resume...Great job and good logic:good :patsch

    Maybe he should've fought BHop or RJJ in their prime?? Maybe even Glenn Johnson or Antonio Tarver?

    Hagler would probably win a close UD. But Calzaghe would not be beaten up or stopped not by a long shot.
