Joe Calzaghe vs Sergey Kovalev At LHW

joe would move up to cruiserweight to avoid sergei, and instead outgas a puffing near 50 johnny nelson

and then claim nelson was prime.


and then joes dumb fans would claim nelson was prime too by typing " a fat bloated 30 something calzaghe with brittle hands outpointed 50something legend johnny nelson who was still prime and younger than joe and on his longest unbeaten streak of wins ever".

 

Can someone tell me what HerolGee is saying, I have blocked him. No dooubt he is giving Calzaghe zero chance and slating anyone that supports him.

Lets look at the facts. Joe was never knocked out, but was knocked down. Yet, people claim Kovalev will knock out Joe Kovalev hasn't knocked out many of the top guys, he has stopped them. So Kovalev would have to look for the stoppage win. There is no way he wins if it goes to points. Everytime Joe was knocked down he never looked in danger and usually came back on the attack.

My prediction is that Joe is way too awkward for Kovalev and he wins on points.

 

:good

 

hey genius, if you seek to read me, unblock me.

 

kovalev has stopped guys who haven't been stopped.

and cowardzaghe get dropped by people who aint dropping others.

 

It is true that Calzaghe never fought anyone with Kovalev's power but Kovalev's also never fought anyone with the awkwardness, skills and work rate of Calzaghe, even you have to admit that.

 

in order for calzaghe to move up to 175 and have any success against Kovalev, he'd have to be in his prime to do it. The 37 year old version of Joe who got decked by even older renditions of Jones and Hopkins wouldn't have much of a chance.. That said, I think a young pride of whales had the speed, skill, workrate, awkwardness and durability to give Kovalev problems. I'd still favor Sergei to take a decision but an upset isn't out of the question.. Again this is assuming we're taking a young Calzaghe and not the one from 2008.

 

Joe was an old man at LHW. Kovalev a young killer.

Joe got dropped by the two opponents he faced there. Two opponents that have a combined age of 96 years old (or thereabouts).

Kovalev via Murder.

 

you are surely joking.

Calzaghe had some decent skills but they never were some high standard. He was easy to hit, and punched inefficiently and without effect or landing often.

Joe was only "awkward" because he was a southpaw, like all southpaws can be, not because of any inherent ability of joes - if someone isn't skilled enough to tackle southpaws, that's a deficit of the opponent, not an attribute of Calzaghe.

Only his work rate would be an unmet proposition for sergey, and we all know sergei can do 12 rounds with ease and still has plenty in the tank, so no that trick wont work until sergey turns 40something.

 

Yeah pretty much agree Magoo. I don't see a blowout and it may be more competitive than most think.
One has to favour Kovalev ultimately though. I personally see him winning by comfortable decision.

 

So who has Kovalev fought as skilled as Calzaghe? Please tell me.

 

why are yu asking as if calzaghe is highly skilled? hes not. the guy lacks some fundamentals, like throwing using his weight correctly.

U know for a fact Hopkins is way more skilled than him from the way e outboxed him until he gassed due to his age. Ad we all saw Sergei largely outbox Hopkins.

Pascal is better than joe in terms of skills too, and we know what happened there twice.

 

Actually, Kovalev did beat the **** out of Hopkins.

You know the guy Calzaghe got an SD over and then refused to give a rematch too.

 

Yeah but you do realize Hopkins was almost FIFTY years old when Kovalev fought him? And Calzaghe haters go on about how he fought an old Hopkins
