    I think that power Moorer would be a too much Calzaghe.Moorer by late rounds KO.

    Joe has nothing to keep Moorer off him. Moorer gets him after being behind on the cards

    Moorer by KO. If Joe thought Byron Mitchell hit hard, wait until he gets hit by Moorer.

    Calzaghe ud. Moorer would hate dealing with the movement and activity level. A lot of rose tinting over a guy who beat Frankie Swindell and had a fake belt.

    At 175 pounds Moorer was 22-0 with 22 knockouts. A 100% KO ratio. Calzaghe has been hurt and dropped by lesser punchers, I think Moorer’s power would be too much for Calzaghe who imo doesnt have the power to keep Moorer from landing his big shots. Moorer TKO10

    Weird stance to take given that Calzaghe also didn't do his best work at 175, had 2 fights there where he arguably lost to a 40 year old, got dropped by the other 40 year old and didn't win a belt there.

    That’s levels better than what Moorer did there. And he was a little past his best.

    I love Joe Calzaghe and have all the respect in the world for him but this might be too dangerous . While Michael Moorer was still very raw and unseasoned at 175, he had real one punch power there and a south paw stance with fast hands. Don’t like this one for Joe

    Moorer stops him. Calzaghe leaves himself wide open against a sharp accurate puncher like Moorer.
