    Calzaghe comfortable UD.... Possible he's knocked down once or twice along the way though.

    It would be more or less like GGG vs Ward.

    Yeah, because Calzaghe and Ward have near identical styles.

    i do believe a solid fighter w movement and a chin can beat ggg, but if calslappy can get knocked down by hopkins i think ggg would decapitate him.

    I'm shocked anyone would pick GGG by KO against Calzaghe.

    Joe was never stopped before, and has beaten more accomplished fighters than Golovkin.

    Super JOE could lacy him here. Just too much workrate, too much of a spoiler. GGG is befuddled.

    Joe by UD but GGG will drop him early.

    he never fought a ko artist like ggg. imo ggg would walk through slappys punches and ko him.

    Yeah okay, why is it that no one could walk through them then? His work rate would be far too much, he'd throw 1000+ punches against GGG and completely dismantle him.

    It's not necessarily having a chin either, but to be able to take those kinds of bodyshots for 12 rounds. That I imagine would be tough for anybody.

    Joe would befuddle and discombobulate with his shake and bake attack while avoiding the benumbing shots of GGG.

    In other words I'm not sure how (smoke and mirrors? hook or by crook?) but somehow it would be a SuperCalzaghegistic event.

    Hard to speculate on prior to seeing GGG at 168.
