Mayweather vs Calzaghe: Style matchup

stamins even? Not even close, Joe has far better Stamina and has proved it on numerous occasions, Floyed 'May' have great stamina we dont really know because he never had to use it but when forced for the firts 6 rounds to fiht at hi tempo by Oscar he was blowing and resting on the ropes. And for the record, having watched both live, Jo is faster around the ring hands down

 

JC is not just a swarmer he has a world class jab
PBF has better defensive skills and prob more power.

stamina goes to JC PBF may be fast but does not work at that high tempo for 3 mins a round for every round he takes a break if forced to go at a very high tempo for round after round

speed is a hard one as JC is the fastest up at 168-175 and PBF has never been up that high in weight to see what his speed would carry up like JC has speed that is compared to fighters alot smaler than him.

chin they both have great and i think prime there is nobody who would put either down for 10 so it would go the distance and would be a great fight

both would need to adapt to get the UD and if the fight did happen i could see JC working from behind the jab like he did through the kessler fight then coming in to add the volume later on in the fight when he has worked out where the punches are coming from. His last 2 fights he has started to fast and gone straight for the flurries not rally showing the opponant much respect where he used to start behing the jab and then come in to test out the punch power when he had had a round of seeing what was going on.

Great fight but i think it is 2 hard to call and will call a draw

 

Calzaghe Mayweather, for arguments sake, would be like Calzaghe Jones, Mayweather gets humiliated, and I like Mayweather.

 

mayweather v dawson next ?

 

P4P Mayweather hits far harder IMO. Quite an underrated puncher if you ask me.

 

I honestly think Calzaghe can beat Mayweather if they meet in a weight class. I think he has the perfect style to beat him.

 

floyds quality over quantity will win.

 

Lets imagine for a moment, mayweather vs calzaghe at a catchweight around middleweight........

the person to beat calzaghe has to be someone who is gonna punch with him for 12 rnds, not someone who is gonna sit on the ropes and counterpunch, and this just isnt the way floyd fights. he has a great defence but how do you defend against 200 punches a round??...

...so were in the fight, and floyd backs up to the ropes... calzaghe comes in, throwing a million slapps a second. how do you defend against that?? you have to punch with him, and floyd doesnt do this. I suppose floyd could throw one or two and then move around calzaghe, but dont forget how slick calzaghe is too. he is great at reading his opponent, and he doesnt just charge in, he works his way in with the jab more often than not.

In my opinion, calzaghes rapidfire punching would dismantle floyds defence. he wouldnt get hit by ko shots, he probably wouldnt even get hurt, but he would lose the fight by workrate and punch ratio.

(before anyone says, no...calzaghe would not get worn down or KO'd)

 

Like Hopkins, Kesslers etc quality? oh except Calzaghe has both quality and quantity.

Calzaghe has superior everything.

 

x is like a poor mans floyd and he got an sd.

 

Calzaghe. Ive said this a thousand times: Calzaghe's workrate and chin mean that he has the ability to win any fight he goes into. If he looks like the aggressor he will rack up the rounds, then the only way to beat him is by KO. Calzaghe's chin is superb meaning that he is extremely difficult to KO (id say he needs to be hit flush whilst coming in, by an heavy puncher to be KO'd.)

Calzaghe wouldnt land clean punches, but he doesnt need to as he is the aggressor, forcing the pace and consequently winning the rounds simply on activity.

Calzaghe UD

 

No he isnt..

He is lesser then Floyd in some departments but far better in others. He also has his own style and defensive tactics that are fairly differnt to Mayweather's.

 

Sam Soliman is very unique to....... atsch

You went with Calzaghe cause you ride his nutz like a Harley.

 

That is very flawed logic and you obviously dont know how to score a fight.

 

Mayweather is all around better then Joe, he'd probabbly stop him
