Calzaghe vs a prime Lennox Lewis

Dan17y ago

As good as Lennox was I'm going to have to go with Joe on this one. Superior hand speed and Joe's ability to adapt to pretty much anything in the ring would have seen Lennox struggling to land on Joe whilst Calzaghe could slip from side to side throwing fast and precise combinations from angles that Lennox would not have been able to adapt to. Not sure if Joe KO's him, Joe probably lacked the power to do that, but I think it would have been a reasonably comfortable decision victory. Thoughts? How do you guys think this one would have gone?

Man he can be a fkn wierdo on occasion. I think it all started when I called Ray Austin a bum. Anyone who has seen Austin's last fight can't really disagree.

Press the arrow next to Tunney's name and you'll see the original post. Man he can be a fkn wierdo on occasion.

Was that an actual Tunney quote or did you doctor it? Press the arrow next to Tunney's name and you'll see the original post. Every argument I have with him eventually ends with him calling me a biased self-hating European or an American pretending to be live in Europe. Other than that he is good to argue with.

Thank you, I appreciate it. Always trying to be as biased and ignorant as I possibly can. :boxing: Now I'll have to wait until Tunney posts something like this: Was that an actual Tunney quote or did you doctor it?

Typical racist post from you. Thank you, I appreciate it. Always trying to be as biased and ignorant as I possibly can. :boxing: Now I'll have to wait until Tunney posts something like this: You're the worst asshole on boxingscene, TheManchine. :nonono: You pretend to be a European, and with almost every post, try to prove the inferiority of European boxers. That's low and slimy, in my opinion.

I think Lewis would have some trouble early on in the fight and would be outpointed as he examines Calzaghe's unorthodox style but he would then stop Calzaghe in the later stages of the first round. Typical racist post from you.

Everyone who says that Calzaghe wins is kidding. Right? Not necessarily. Why is it so ridiculous? Joe would have been kryptonite for Lennox. The speed, adaptability, combinations, workrate - all bad for Lennox. I would not be surprised to see Joe grind out a hard fought decision in this one, he just needed to make sure he didn't get caught.

Lol. I know this is all jokes, but I think Joe has proved he cannot move up in weight. He can't handle men stringer than him. You don't think the speed would be the defining factor? Joe would just be too quick for him I think. In and out with fast and accurate combinations. Lennox would be too immobile to deal with it and would never have really been able to get going. Joe got this one, around 8 rounds to 4 I would say.

I am sure Eubank would KO Lewis as well... Kessler would go the distance vs him but lose UD.
