    Calzaghe is too fast for GGG.

    That wouldn't shock me, but it might surprise me.

    Prime Calzaghe didn't fight world class fighters. He hid in Europe. GGG would steamroll him

    I can't believe I'm gonna say this.

    Mind you, before I say this, bear in mind that I hate Joe and love GGG.

    But this thread is too premature to be taking GGG. The fact that Lemieux is the best fighter he's faced thus far speaks volumes.

    I very RARELY ever defend Calz, but he's one of the better super middles of all time.

    Golov isn't even proven at MIDDLE, and we're talking about him beating great supermiddles?

    The Golov madness must stop.

    He'd have an easier time with Little G than he did with Kessler or Hopkins.

    Calzaghe would wait GGG was over 40 to fight him.

    yes but golovkin is better according to the eye test and joe hasn't felt that kind of power before. i don't think anyone under heavyweight has felt that kind of power and can deal with it and pull a UD

    Calzaghe destroys the overhyped tomato can destroyer.

    GGG would box Calzaghe's head off and stop him.

    Eye test or simple minded test?. Do we really know how powerful he really is even though he hasn't had a single serious test to date or are you so dumb and easily convinced?.

    Calzaghe is fearless.. It was all press for the fight. Calzaghe would beat GGG easy. It would take a Real Heavyweight to defeat Calzaghe.

    Ahh this is a tough one.

    The Joe that lost to Reid gets absolutely hammered.

    The Joe that beat Kessler wins via wide UD.

    this is interesting question since ggg seems to following the calzaghe career path of fighting b/c level fighters....ggg will prob call out bernard in a few years when bernard is 55....maybe even roy...we know roy will still be fighting

    in wales joe slaps gggs shoulers silly to an early stoppage....in ny i dunno....joe prob gets a decision
