    You joker. If anyone has the average chin its Hearns and that would be even more average at 168. And it proves how lil you know about Calzaghe to say he has no power, he may have adpated in recent fights, but he was using plenty of power in his early title fights, if you can put solid chinned super middleweight like Eubank on his arse, then he can do it to a vunreble welterweight like Tommy Hearns.

    Hearns was not a great super middleweight, Calzaghe is.

    Calzaghe TKOs Hearns in 10.

    1st off,Joe has a very good chin maybe not great but very good.But it aint average

    2ndly,If were talking prime Calzaghe he could punch harder then now and lets not forget Hearns was stopped at WW for F**ks sake.

    By the way I think Hearns is a better fighter P4P then Calzaghe.but no way does he beat Joe at SMW.

    Calzaghe PTS, easy. Hearns was not the same force at SMW, though he would still be one of the better fighters Calzaghe had faced :deal

    ahahah, ohhhhh so thats it huh? thats what that myth is bassed off of?.....you think Joe Calzaghe has power just because he put a guy on the floor off a flash knockdown?, hell, a guy who went on to be KO'd, a guy who's been on the canvas about 7 different times?

    if you watched the fight, he wasn't even close to being hurt, he got up off the canvas like it was nothing and started smiling at him....it was a loss of balance if anything

    Calzaghe HAS NO POWER, at very best it's less then average..........and yes Calzaghe has an AVERAGE chin, he does not have a great chin by any means

    and yeah you're right, Hearns chin aint much either but, the fact remains that Calzaghe couldn't crack concrete with a jackhammer, and you think he's gonna stop Hearns?

    be realistic, clowning around should only go so far, has is faster, more explosive, better schooled, and just the overall greater fighter, theres nothing in calzaghes aresenal that would protect him from Hearns

    ...and what do you mean Hearns wasn't a great supermiddleweight?

    he won all his fights at SMW, aside from his draw with Leonard (which he really won anyways)

    no version of Calzaghe can beat Thomas Hearns

    I didnt have you down as a boxrec warrior but it seems that you are, or you wouldnt present such a wafer thin argument.

    Calzaghe has hurt, dropped and stopped many supermiddles.

    Calzaghe is a very well schooled boxer multi title winning amatuer aswel might I add an undefeated professional,so dont make it sound like Hearns would be facing a guy who isnt well schooled.

    Hearns was at his peak at lower weights, the fact that he is a better overral fighter doesnt mean anything, at super middleweight he isnt anywhere near joes level.

    where has this average chin thing come from, Calzaghe hasnt been stopped ever, never even been close to be stopped. And the fact that you were trying to claim Eubank of all people was soft around the chin area is outright embarrasing.

    Calzaghe stops Hearns.

    I don't think 40 slaps would set up anything against Hearns.

    you're right Calzaghe has hurt dropped many SMW......but majority of them were bums

    and the only difference between Hearns at WW and Hearns at SMW, is that he can run into bigger guys who have more power, and that his power isn't exactly the same, but it doesn't mean it's still not there

    and i dont know what this boxrec warrior claim is, i have majority of his carreer on DVD seeing as he's my fav. fighter all time outside of SRR........

    and yes, calzaghe has an Average chin, he's been rocked if not dropped every time he's stepped up and fought someone thats not completely washed up or a bum, his record proves that...i'm not saying he has a glass jaw, but dont make the man out to be a Margarito when he's not

    and when did i say Eubank had a weak chin? i said that putting him on the canvas is not great feat, and it isn't....just like the little clip that headhunter posted, he gets put down then gets right back up, he was never hurt at all, he never lost his legs, he was not in danger of being KO'd

    i've heard of people gassing up somebodies power off of 1 knockout, but never over one knockdown.......point blank period, Calzaghe would not stop Hearns

    its utterly ridiculous if you beleive he could outbox Tommy or outbang him (espically when he doesn't have any power)....

    Calzaghe has a good chin, he has been in with some big hitters and hasnt come close to being stopped, the same cant be said for Hearns.

    I think your tommy Hearns' mixed up, the 168lb isnt the same as a 147lb version not even the same as the 160lb version. Hearns power was diluted and he wouldnt hurt Calzaghe. Calzaghe is a great boxer in his own right aswel as naturally bigger and stronger. If Calzaghe was a light middleweight, hearns would probaby beat him prime for prime, but to say an average super middlewweight like old Tommy Hearns was beats the best super middleweight in Joe Calzaghe is a joke.

    he's been dropped 5 times.......if you call that a good chin, whatever...but i call it an average chin

    and nah, i'm not talking about the Hearns @ 147, its no question that versions much greater Calzaghe, i'm talking about the one that fought Leonard to a draw (although he should of won)

    but yeah, you're right.......he's an "average super middleweight" :patsch
    and yeah, his power may of been diluted but he still had great power, and he still had more power @ 168 then Calzaghe ever did.....he had Leonard hurt in there 2nd fight, hell he dropped him twice......

    Hurting + dropping Leonard twice > dropping Eubanks

    [YT]MbxouDuFpGI[/YT]

    plus he was still knocking people out at LHW + cruiserweight....how many fighters has Joe KO'd over 168??...hell how many great fighters has Joe KO'd period?

    the facts are, Hearns was bigger, longer, had more power, and he was just the overall better boxer.....as i've said before NO version of Calzaghe can beat Thomas Hearns, if you think because he put Chris Eubanks on the canvas one time or outboxed Mikkel Kessler that he could beat the Orignal Hitman, you're out of your mind, either way i'm through it's a fantasy fight anyways so it doesn't reall matter all that much, and it's undeniable that Hearns is greater then Calzaghe will ever be, so i'll let this all slide


    @ at the guy who said this is Calzaghe hate, i have no hate for Calzaghe at all, opposite really but.......Calzaghe vs. Hearns is a shark against a goldfish
