    Benn would have had a better chance than Eubank, but I take Calzaghe to edge a close decision with his better workrate winning him the close rounds.

    probably calzaghe.he's moved up another level now. this is no slight on benn though, usually i go all misty eyed remembering his wars but i think joe would pick him off.

    Much as I love 'Nige and he was a great fighter, he's only got that punchers chance here and that's pretty unlikely let's be honest.

    Calzaghe: UD.

    Calzaghe. Nigel would have a lot of trouble finding him, and Joe has a gooed set of whiskers if he does. Meanwhile, Calzaghe would be landing nearly at will, at a spry 20-35 punches a round on target.

    Nigel would get outboxed, out sped and if we are talking prime calzaghe that could bang a bit probably stopped.

    I think calzaghe-watson would of been a better fight

    Style-wise Watson certainly asks Calzaghe more questions and matches up better than Been, probably Eubank too. It would be a closer fight for sure.

    Calzaghe UD. If this fight happened before Calzaghes hand problems I think he could have got a TKO
