Calzaghe Vs Taylor or B-HOP

Vs Hopkins

calzag vs taylor

Calzaghe would throw enough to probably get the nod on the scorecards vs. Hopkins, as judges these days favor activity and aggression over actual BOXING (e.g. Hopkins-Taylor I, Urango-Ben Rabah, etc.). Hopkins would have to employ the same style he used vs. Tarver win, not the sit back and wait style that he used vs. Taylor, though Calzaghe would surely give him more countering opportunities than Taylor did. Taylor poses a threat, but as a boxer he's only marginally better than Lacy; he has fundamental flaws that the best can exploit (which I why I don't think he beat Hopkins or Winky). If Calzaghe looks anywhere near as sharp as he was vs. Lacy, he will win. If he fights like he did in the Bika fight, he will get hurt, but he's smarter than that.

I see Hopkins landing lead rights and counter rights alnight long on Calzaghe. Taylor has the potential to take Calzaghe out, Joe is too square-on. The Calzaghe of five or 10 years back would of beaten them, though. He didn't struggle so much to make the weight, his hands weren't quite as bad, and he hit a lot harder. Mmmmm....some very good points there.

Im a big believer in hopkins but anyone that is willing to throw a large amount of punches can beat hopkins. TAylor vs. cazalgahe, I'm not so sure

If Joe was fighting either of these guys he'd win.He'd up his game just as he did against Lacy. That's my opinion anyway.
