Sugar Ray Leonard Versus Joe Calzaghe At A Catch Weight 0f 160 Pounds

According to Calzaghe he was 178-180lbs in the ring at SMW.

He'd be dead at the weight at 160lbs.

 

Calzaghe would be too weak from the weight

 

Leonard just from the fact he'll be a skeleton at the time he made weight.

 

I think zaggers would look like Geale against Cotto. A living waxwork from weight cutting. No bueno.

 

Tbf, I don’t think Calzaghe was a massive 168lbs, but he wouldn’t be used to it mentally to cut that much weight, if he did it a few times, maybe he would.

 

I dont know who would win? Who would win Calzalghe vs Eric Morales at a CW of 118. 567483 pounds ?? Do you ever think of that before you started the thread?

 

There are bigger ones these days - I just read that Berlanga put on 25 pounds after the weigh-in for Canelo fight for example... - but for his time Calzaghe was a pretty solid one and I don't think He could cut those extra 8 pounds beyond what He was already doing.

In any case - this thread reminds me why I hate catch-weights. Instead of talking about the skills, techinique and tactics - We all have to wonder whether fighter cutting more weight can be in functional state at the time He enters the ring...
