Joe Calzaghe vs Tommy Hearns at 168

Sorry, Calzaghe doesn't travel for anyone and would risk being ill if he does. He won his paper title so he expects everyone else to come to him, including other champions. When Hearns is past it then Calzaghe would make the flight only because Hearns is a "legend".

 

calzaghe has fought only a handfull of fights in his own country you ignorant fool

how many times has tommy fought outside his own country you ****ing clown

 

I think he includes England in that. Hearns did fight once outside of America which doesnt sound like much of an achievment but considering he's American..........

 

Calzaghe fought twice in Denmark and twice in the USA. The fights in England would sometimes feel like a home fight with plenty of support unless he was fighting an English fighter.

 

Calzaghe wins this one.

By the time Hearns reached 168lbs, he was years past his best. The Hill win is good, yeah, but it was a one off at that stage. As impressive as he was there, he looked equally as unimpressive against other opposition. He was always beatable and Calzaghe would beat him.

He has an advantage in speed, was much more durable and would be able to outbox and outfight Hearns, whose peak was 14-21lbs below super middle. This isn't the sane fighter who made mincemeat out of Duran, Cuevas and was feared throughout the boxing world. It's an ageing, 'good' fighter but one who was beatable and flawed.

Calzaghe UD.

 

****ing hell, so now we have a troll (you), who copies another troll (46and0), who copies another ****ing troll (Anglosaxon).

If you're trying to wind people up at least get your own style you ******.

 

there is no wind up here, just a series of irrefutable scientific facts :deal

to be compared with the likes of anglo and 46 is a huge honour, they are 2 of the most widely respected posters in esb history, constantly dismantling minnions with cutting edge analysis in combination with irrefutable scientific facts :deal

on the other hand mcgay, you are a feather fisted, glass jawed disgrace. . . . you repulse me your irrefutable ignorance :dead

 

Some things never change lol.

 

:roll: Good one.

 

People Hearns only fought i think 3 times at super middleweight lol. I like Hearns but his best weight was at ww. And Hearns was really past his prime when he fought at super middleweight. So yea i pick Calzaghe to win it.

 

Oh great, because this is a fantasy match-up we've never seen before.

Calzaghe, comfortably.

Hearn's is then considered shot.

 

Calzaghe faster than Hearns?

 

Indeed.

Hearns at his best was a special fighter but that was a long time before he went to 168lbs. He lacked the tremendous power and speed that made him such a fearsome fighter in his prime. I feel like people watch Hearns at his best but fail to take on board how much worse he was at 168lbs. Someone even posted Hearns/Duran earlier, but it's completely irrelevant. Hearns from that period and Hearns at 168, were vastly different fighters.

 

Prime for prime, no. Calzaghe at his best or Hearns at 168? Calzaghe is clearly faster.

 

I agree
