What 3 fights between 168 and 175 would you have liked to have seen joe calzaghe in?

Ottke
Hopkins circa 2000 (at super middleweight)
Jones (pre-Ruiz, at light heavyweight or even a catchweight)

Not saying they're realistic, but they would have been nice.

 

Froch , Ward and Abraham

 

Collins as his title fight, like it was meant to be instead of Eubank but have the Eubank fight after he beats Collins still.

Ottke instead of Pudwill

And then instead of RJJ fighting Tarver when he goes back down to 175 fighting Joe or.... not fighting Ruiz and just fighting Joe then.

I'd also like Hopkins pre taylor so after he beat eastman moving up to fight Calzaghe.

Any 3 of those 4 really.

I think Joe would destroy Ottke but for the sake of boxing I wish this fight happened!

 

Why's that? Short of a time machine you can't make your case.
It's nothing personal. It's simply factually incorrect for the set of hypothetical examples you put forth to have happened. If you want to dispute what I said then go for it. Tell me which one I was wrong on and explain why.

 

I think you need to re-read the advice of the thread starter, most people who posted their opinions in this thread (95 + %) understand the simple task of coming up with some mythical match ups that were intruiging and could be good fights during Calzaghe's era. If you have the time, go ahead and explain why all those fights were not possible, but it would be irrevelant to this thread. You can team up with bailey who has memorised calzaghe, veit, Tocker Pudwill, Evans Ashira, Branko Sobot, parts on boxrec.com as well as a few other bums, and start a thread called

"why Calzaghe didnt fight Ottke, Johnson, Tarver, Prime RJJ/BHops....."

And then your posts regarding why Calzaghe didnt fight certain fighters will be revelant to that thread, but are irrevelant in this thread since this is just mythical match ups that didnt take place.

Despite Mayweather/Pacqiuao, and Haye/Wlad doing their **** and making a match up between then seem difficult to make, I can still say I would like to see those match ups if a question arises what fights do you want to see today.

So just answer the thread question like 95%+ of the people here instead of chatting irrevelant ****.

I think you didnt read the advice given by the thread starter. again.

I highlighted the parts you lack full comprehension of in regards to this thread. Once you have fully attained the correct understanding of those bolded parts, I think you will be ready to finally add a revelant post to this thread by answering the question.

 

Lol. Look dude, you simply threw a bunch of fighters into the mix with years attached w/o even doing some basic research beforehand. You never bothered to consider where each man was in their career with respect to where Calzaghe was in his. Your time-lines do not cut it. It's not rocket science.

 

Hopkins destroying Pavlik is what makes Calzaghe's win over B-Hop credible. If Calzaghe had fought Pavlik, he would have beaten him in similar circumstances to Lacy. Then people would have said Hopkins was shot when he lost to Joe, when the win and pacticularly the performance against Pavlik in his next fight proves otherwise.

 

timeline was to do with the when both Calzaghe and the fighter I mentioned I felt were both in decent shapes.

Obviously I cant say 2004 Bute, and I cant say 2010 Bute either, its common sense, what you still doing in this thread complaining. Go and make a new thread and discuss any **** not related there.

go and read the opening post and realise you are off topic and looking foolish criticising mythical match ups

 

In order of importance:

Pavlik before Hopkins got to him.

Bute or Dawson. Either way he would be criticized for exposing an overhyped up-and-comer, but if they went on to keep performing, it'd be a good win. Particularly Bute. A win over Dawson would have been more significant at the time, though I don't think Dawson will go on to have as good a career as Bute will.

Froch as his final fight, though Froch hadn't accomplished much at that point. If Froch had gone on to keep performing as he has, then that win would have reflected extremely well on Calzaghe.

Honorable mention:

Ottke--Tried everything to make this fight, but Ottke's people would never let it happen. A win would have helped unify 168 much earlier, allowing Calzaghe to move to the stronger LHW division and do more work there.

Jones--Calzaghe was a few years behind Jones's career, but one can dream...

 

- Hopkins, long before Hopkins was 40+

- Jones, long before Jones was 35+

- Glen Johnson, either time that Joe pulled out of fighting him

 

Johnson blew his chance when Joe was ringside with a view to fighting him, by losing again in his career, that time to Woods

 

Nothing that has ever, ever happened has ever been Joe Calzaghe's fault. :good
