    No doubt it would of sold big in the Millenium Stadium.

    I was convinced Woods would beat him, obviously the thought did cross my mind that Tarver could win, but I think it would have to be very close, like a 115-113 scorecard. Never did I imagine Woods could of turned in a performance that bad.

    The disappointing thing is it wasn't like Tarver earned the victory, he was there for the taking. Woods could of see easily capitalized and had his best name win to date.

    Calzaghe is way to good for Woods.

    :deal

    woods had his flash moments but simply wasnt able to shift into 4th gear.

    nobody can say that antonios style overwhelmed clinton out of his gameplan either. woods just didnt let it all hang out.

    Calzaghe would slap the **** out of him, and I mean that in the nicest possible way since Woods is a cool guy.

    Calzaghe is about 5X as fast as him. More athletic. More skilled. Woods has zero ability to effectively time counters, and he would be on the backfoot against Calzaghe, that isn't a good look. His defence is only good. Everything Woods is good at is obsolete against Calzaghe.

    Woods was outboxed by Tarver !
    Calzaghe would´nt loose a round, a minute or a second of such a silly fight.

    Why would Calzaghe come out of retirement to fight a former belt holder who only lost his title a fight ago.

    Calzaghe would embarass Woods just like Tarver did.
