Name 3 fighters who you feel CAN beat Joe Calzaghe.

modern or all time?

 

Jones Jr in his prime
Bernard Hopkins in his prime
James Toney in his prime
IMO

Even though 2 of the 3 I would go out on alimb and pick against Joe C. But thats just my opinion, pretty sure Amsterdam and China Hand are coming lol:yep

 

Mikkel Kessler, Chad Dawson, and Kelly Pavlik

 

Roy Jones at 168.

Roy Jones, Michael Moorer, Bob Foster, Michael Spinks at 175.

Those are the only two classes he'd be effective at, those are the only that come to mind who should be a definitive favourite or almost certainty to beat him. I think nothing of old timers H2H just for the record.

 

I only think that Kessler can do it - so three is not possible. RJJ once could, but the question was can.

 

Active...

Dawson, Hopkins &...........?

All time. Hopkins, RJJ, Spinks, Moorer, Holyfield, Hagler....there are quite a few. But losing to ANY of those guys is no shame.

 

Now? At 168 I only give Kess a chance and not a very good one. Hopkins will give Joe more problems than Kessler at Lt. Heavy. I think Chad Dawson would have the best chance and probally beat him at 175.

 

Hopkins now? Come on man, you're smarter than that. Dawson is to open to getting bullied and Calzaghe will control him that way, that's an easy fight to predict.

Hopkins doesn't even do it prime. And Hagler? A man greatly troubled by speed and crafty inside fighters?

Out of current fighters, Mikkel Kessler does indeed have the best chance, but he will not succeed, he may even get Lacyed.

 

Jones at 168 - Certainty.

Jones at 175 - Clear, but not a certainty, Calzaghe could win here depending on how the fight goes.

Moorer, Spinks, Foster - Absolute certainty, all win by KO at that.

 

Hopkins edges by Winky in his current state and somehow he's going to deal with Calzaghe's speed, workrate and endless stamina? He'd be dead tired by round 5 and cannot fire off his famous right hand like he used to, not even as good as he could vs. Taylor 2 years ago and Taylor outworked him at times, who is half the fighter of Calzaghe.

You guys need to let oldman Hopkins go, he is 42 and is NOTHING H2H currently, Glen Johnson wins at the current place and time in Hopkins' career.

 

winky?

 

This type of stuff just drives me insane.:nut

Never see the Soliman fight?
