    I don't actually think Billy Conn has a style to beat Calzaghe, he'd probably lose a decision. Calzaghe is quicker in both footwork and handspeed, with better usage of angles.
    As for the original question, Calzaghe beats Tiger on points.

    Bivins also has a win over absolute peak Charley Burley. Basically, no three Calzaghe wins are worth that one.

    Calzaghe, comfortable UD. Styles make fights.

    In general, most Calzaghe buttock jockeys including your good self have serious issues in staying true to the concept of reality. Your amusing, yet highly optimistic post above being a perfect example of this.

    Well a tiger is a natural predator, years of hunting prey in the jungles of the world have made it into a fine tuned killing machine.

    The tiger comes out strong in the first and uses tooth and nail to brutalize Calzaghe who will have no defense against the large Carnivore.

    Tiger TKO1 (cuts) Calzaghe.

    Tiger comes on in later rounds and beats Joe like a drum.

    I am not sure....all common sense tells me to pick Tiger....But in another thread I read that Calzaghe was a top 10 atg, and his undefeated record shows there is no blueprint to beat him....

    Hmmm who to pick????

    how did you come up with Moorer of all people :lol: and no Calzaghe does not brutalize Tiger. too compact a counterpuncher to get brutalized by some sloppy slapper.

    If Calzaghe is wise, he'd fight on the outside, score with his slapping Maxie Rosenbloom-like slaps, and avoid trading with Dick at all costs. Otherwise, he gets pummeled. Tiger could PUNCH, and Calzaghe could be knocked down. To win, Tiger has to knock him out. If not, Tiger loses.
