    When Calzaghe was on form he was phenomenal.. special fighter, but he's pretty untested at light HW, both he & Hop had seen better days.. his speed, workrate, engine and angles would give a lot of fighters fits imo tho .. including AB , but his domain was 168 so its hard to pick him here

    Joe's prime was SMW. I think k Joe at 175 would get beat by AB.

    Calzaghe is one of the guys who could actually match the work rate of Beterbiev, but in both his LHW fights he got caught early and went down

    The accumulation of damage will show why there are weight classes

    Calzaghe would die if he stood to throw flurries. Beterbiev would pick his shots and hurt him.

    Calzaghe slaps the ***** out of Beterbiev..
    Maybe if he doesn’t get caught early.

    Beterbiev is too strong for Calzaghe and knocks him out.

    Calzaghe dominates Beterbiev from beginning to end, far too versatile and adaptable and would be one step ahead of Artur every inch of the way.

    Calzaghe wins at SMW
    Beterbiev wins at LHW

    Hopkins, Roy Jones, Mitchell and Salem all put Calzaghe down with a short crisp right hand... and Beterbiev has the most powerful short crisp right hand punch I seen in boxing. Beterbiev breaks Calzaghe.

    No Hopkins thread yet? The Tarver version of Hopkins vs. Beterbiev would be interesting. I would bet on Hopkins.
