    Christ another ridiculous over-rating Calzaghe thread :patsch

    Yeah Joe's size may work for him in this one, but those of you that think Calzaghe wins this one on skills, speed and work-rate - shame on you.

    The guy beats Kessler and all of a sudden he is a legendary fighter. Get the **** out of here.

    It's just amazing that you have to point something like that out to these morons....I mean Kessler never looked impressive before he fought Calslappy but now he lost a decision he's been elevated to legendary status, because he never got knocked out by a guy that doesn't punch that hard :patsch

    Hagler is a different league to Kessler - and Calzaghe struggled with Kessler. This one goes to Marvin by brutal ownage.

    Against who again?

    Yep. Save it mate.

    Jones lost ZERO rounds against Toney. Two all time greats in the ring. Hopkins won 4 rounds against Jones.....Joe's going to get ****ed up and the only thing standing in Bernards way is age cos he sure as **** doesn't lose this one any other way.

    This is the whole trick..build up a fighter not even top 20 and make him seem to be p4p material..

    So when he gets beat your fighter looks good. didnt you know that?

    i dnt think peopl are over rating they are just looking at the size weight and skill level wich no disrespect to HAGLER could be on par or better between him and JC now if some one said HAGLER had no shot or for that matter JC then that would be dumb

    just cuz you DON't like a certain fighter or there stlye of fighting doesn't mean he could beat a past legend.

    belive it or not JC is possibly the greates at 168 and right now P4P at #2 or 3. JC definatly has a shot

    No, but he has the chin to take Haglers bombs

    The stamina to keep dishin it out, keepin Hagler honest, Joe does have power.

    The footwork to avoid him if needs be.

    The heart not to give up even if Hagler does get him in trouble.

    Have I mentioned his speed yet? No.. well you get the idea, I could go on.

    Then theres the size differential, the most telling factor for Hagler.. Hagler is awesome, and given him being slightly bigger, this would be an awesome contest, epic even, as it stands, it's not a million miles from a mismatch.
