This has to be the single most self owning post I think I've ever seen on the internet.
Stick around. That's nothing in comparison to some.
SHB, you must be referring to this:
I wouldn't even put Taylor in the top 8 of Calzaghe's opponents.
So which of Calzaghe's EIGHT opponents are better than Taylor?
Two I might be able to see. Three maybe but even that is pushing it. But eight?
i would have to go for Calzaghe i dont think Taylor fights well under preasure he is the type of fighter that likes to control the pace of a fight a bit like Chris Eubank but under preassure they are both poor
Calzaghe now?? The one who dropped his belts not to fight Pavlik.
Taylor wins his one SD or late stoppage
Your user name of Flawless 2 amuses me. It should be flawed as everything you post is. The fact it's 2 as in a second account, already with a red bar underlines that.
This post further advertises your utter stupidity and bias. You essentially use a reason for a fighter you don't like, losing to someone, as he supposedly ducked another fighter whom most believe he'd beat comfortably.
A factor that is not something in the ring to judge someone on and a fallacy. Lacks any actual merit in the topic, and clearly just subjective thinking of dislike steering a skewed view.
Despite Calzaghe actually facing bigger hitters, taking harder shots from Kessler and never coming close to being stopped, you then say a lighter, weaker Taylor would somehow stop him.
This has to be the single most self owning post I think I've ever seen on the internet.
It's a rather big leap to go from Calzaghe preferring to be the aggressor to Taylor winning if he makes Calzaghe do so. Plenty have tried that tactic and 0 have succeeded. I wouldn't even put Taylor in the top 8 of Calzaghe's opponents.
I also just can't see how Pavlik beats him.
The Taylor that fought Pavlik in the rematch would have beaten Calzaghe. Joe himself even admitted that he is better when his opponent comes forward and he would have to be the aggressor against Jermain, because he normally fights at the pace of his opponent and adapts from that. He is a straight puncher, a hard puncher and a counter puncher. Three ingredients that spells trouble for MR. Calzaghe. Take nothing from the Pavllik fight because Pavlik is an absolute monster that Joe is even accused of avoiding and judging by what he is doing, i actually believe that now. I have nothing against Joe, but i think Taylor and Pavlik would beat him.
Seeing as Taylor is a poorer version of Kessler, I have this a wiiiiiide UD. Probable stoppage.
No offense to Kessler but Taylor shows will and the ability to come back from a losing position, something that Kessler didn't show against Calzaghe.
hum hopkins was 3 years younger also
And his fighting style and stamina has changed so much.
The problem, in both fights, is that he didn't have the stamina to fight for enough rounds.
He beat both of them up when he was actually fighting.
pavlik is a muck better fighter than joe he throws st8 punches taylor would see those looping punches..taylor is 28 joe got beat bown by a 43 hopkins
Taylor got beaten up worse by Hopkins than Calzaghe. Don't be silly.
You know what makes the taylor/lacy fight intresting to me? I think lacy's more then capable of knocking taylor on his ass and embarrasing taylor. It only takes one punch and lacy is rather strong and has some mean uppercuts. I'd laugh though because I favor a beat down by taylor ud in that fight.
