Calzaghe In Benn's Era

benn would have been easy fo calzaghe! and when benn got beat he would have been labelled overrated!

Benn is made for Toney

anyone else go the same opinion as me that sylistically James Toney would have made Benn look really bad Yes.......

even if joe c did beat benn. people on this site would not give him any credit and still say rjj was 10times better and then claim benn was a bum. thats because most people on this site are idiots.

Nigel Benn was never a GREAT boxer, he couldnt fight past 6 rounds before falling to pieces. Calzaghe would own Benn, unless Benn got in with a lucky punch, but remember Joe has a chin.

Who do you think Calzaghe should fight? Maybe he should do what Bernard did and fight some blown up welterweights. Exactly, the only people he could have fought are Hopkins years ago at a catch weight (but why should Calzaghe chase a middleweight?), or Roy Jones at light heavy.

Shame that a fight between Calzaghe and Collins never happened, that would've been a good fight.

Agree, I like JC but do feel hes had a easy ride, plenty of good fights out there and hes chasing an old man? Typical money making machine from Frank and smothered in cotton wool with a manufactured record. Who do you think Calzaghe should fight?

benn didn't have an era. he ducked all the good fighters of that era like roy jones,toney,mcallum, kalambay and nunn. he couldn't even beat the british circuit fighters like steve collins, eubank, or watson and they werent even that good. his best wins he had to cheat against barkley and mclellan wakka wakka wakka. another what if fighter like calzaghe. benn was gonna fight nunn as opposed to mcclean. but he questioned why don king took off 100k from his purse. then don king said heres ur 100k now fight mcclean.

Calzaghe vs nigel benn is a fight id love to have seen, calzaghe wouldnt have stood a chance back then he's so overrated, just imagine him against the likes of Benn, Eubank (in his prime), Michael Watson, Gerald Mcclellan, Iran Barkley, Roy Jones Jnr and Bernard Hopkins, he'd get found out for the average boxer that he is, the fighters above have had some proper brawls and brutal fights (some of them). calzaghe's had an easy ride fighting bums and reality tv stars, i just hope he runs into someone decent someday soon! http://yoursportsview.com Agree, I like JC but do feel hes had a easy ride, plenty of good fights out there and hes chasing an old man? Typical money making machine from Frank and smothered in cotton wool with a manufactured record.

And he beat Collins in Millstreet

Benn x 2, Watson x 2, Holmes, Rocchigiani, Wharton, Thornton Not bad, either

Apart from his win over Benn, and his miraculous KO of Watson, Eubanks competition wasnt great before being beaten by Collins.

Eubank says he knows he'd have stopped Calzaghe I dont think he would have. Calzaghe was a bit stupid and reckless when he fought Eubank, and he was hurt right at the end. Eubank was over the hill but still fought a great fight, Calzaghe was fairly green, and has improved so much. Calzaghe has all the qualities to have done very well against Benn and the rest. I think a Calzaghe-Watson fight would have been a great match up.

Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank have said Joe Calzaghe would have fitted in well and would still probably be undefeated if he was in the same era ! Sugar Ray Leonard rates him very highly and Barry McGuigan said he is the best Boxer Britain has produced ! Eubank says he knows he'd have stopped Calzaghe

well sugar rays had too many knocks to the head then and as for Benn he would say that, he was a decent bloke he let his fists do the talking, he were'nt one to shout his mouth off too often. im not saying calzaghe would'nt have fitted in but im 100% certain he would'nt be undefeated. http://yoursportsview.com

Benn has actually been quoted by crediting JC. i think he also mentioned that jc would have been good in their era too. Benn had ko power, but didnt have the best legs. so perhaps jc could outwork him. as for getting dropped by mitchell. yeah any boxer can be dropped by someone if they connect in the right place. it's a matter of defence to stay away from the ko punches.

anybody watch calzaghe do people still watch calzaghes fights i give up on him ages ago its like watching paint dry, nigel benn wouldnt have given jc the time of day or eubank in top gear, calzaghe would have got knocked the fcuk out every day of the week, would have been fun to see calzaghe out cold thou whos he fighting next henry cooper or barry mcguigan or another bloke from schmucksville:boxing:
