    I know alot of people hate Jermaine Tylor here and there are alot of Calzaghe fans, but come on dont judge them on your personality but yet on their skills and their previous fights.

    This isn't even close Joe Calzaghe by a Wide Margin

    It's a no brainer; Calzaghe is the more skilled of the two, Taylor has taken on the better competition.

    In my world Taylor has proven that he is a better fighter than Calzaghe has proven himslef to be, but if they had fought at any time in the past five years I'd have put a lot of money on Calzaghe to win, no question.

    Eubank, Reid, Lacy not to mention 7 World Champions

    And H2H JC would beat Taylor.

    Calzaghe, and it's not even close. Taylor is a fraud, the product of the HBO hype machine. You don't see Calzaghe getting gift decision after gift decision.

    I would agree that Taylor beat better fighters, but Joe looks better on film and would probally win head 2 head.

    Struggling to an (arguably undeserved) draw against Wright really suggests he could handle Calzaghe.

    I haven't seen Taylor get gift decision after gift decision either. So I don't know what you're talking about.

    And I voted for Calzaghe. You're exaggerating.

    He became anorexic to avoid Calzaghe.

    Taylor has sought out past prime and WW fighters. Decent opponents, but not opponents on Calzaghe's level.
