anyone who thinks williams can win needs to be banned.
I voted too close to call.
Calzaghe is an excellent fighter with more pop than people give him credit for. If he didn't have some pop Hopkins would have come off the ropes and gone toe to toe with him. Calzaghe has a high punch/slap rate to keep his opponent off balance and then changes pace and puts his weight into it. Again, if he threw nothing but slaps then he wouldn't have cut up and TKO'd Roy Jones.
He's got weight and experience over Williams. But Williams has youth and a style that should give Calzaghe trouble. Calzaghe throws "slaps" as a defense -- keep the other guy busy. I don't see this working well against Williams. I wouldn't be shocked if Calzaghe dominated the fight after the first couple of rounds but I also wouldn't be surprised either if Williams youth and energy allowed him to win a decision.
lol at people contending that a former welterweight, who thinks he's a transformer, would beat a career supermiddleweight who ended his career as a light heavyweight.calzaghe beats the day shit out this guy.end of story.SMH at these idiots.old roy beats him.hell, kirkland beats him.....
I think Williams would lose to anyone with power. He is FAR too easy to hit and interestingly always seems to end up fighting guys with very low KO percentages.
No way Zaghe can win. Jesus people don't fking get what Zaghe really is. I'm sure if the web existed back then Marciano would win every poll to beat Holmes but yet he retired before fighting anyone half decent. There, have your hero but know this. No one cept Marciano and Calzaghe EVER got away with being "great" on wins over old men. This is true racism, this shit makes me mad, the fact that these crackers got away with this. Young men like Williams or Chad Dawson ALREADY have resumes riviling with Calzaghe's yet they aren't even on the top of the p4p ranks. The black man gotta FLY to get something the white man can walk to. Calzaghe great? Great MY ASS! :baby:
Anyone see the irony in this post? :wtf:
Calzaghe would win a pretty easy decision at 175 if he came out of retirement. I doubt Joe can make 168 anymore.
It's amazing the amount of credit PW is getting for beating a 37 year old after a 2 year layoff yet JC gets nothing but hate for beating Eubank, Hopkins and Jones for being "old or past prime" which is what the majority here would be saying if Joe beat Winky. It would be nothing but a million excuses...
Calzaghe would beat Williams, would be a high workrate fight though, could end up smashing Compubox records, with both of them throwing 100 punches a round.
After seeing how he beat the hell out of WInky I dont see how anyone could face this guy......Calzaghe would lose big time! what do you think?
All you people are giving Paul all this credit for beating a 37 yr old man who hasn't fought in almost 2 yrs. When he beats a guy like Arthur Abraham then i'll give the credit he deserves. Till then he's nobody.
Err close? Sure he's not too hard to hit (but he used to be much easier of a target, progress!) and just by seeing how Calzaghe was tagged and dropped by 43 year old Bernard Hopkins and 40 year old Jones i can see Williams KOing him!!!!!!
Williams has never been a power puncher. Zaghe got dropped at light heavyweight by big men. Williams is a welterweight.
I'm actually staggered that this question is even being asked, much less that people seem to actually think that Williams has even a hope of a prayer.
Williams would have height, reach and maybe power?
Power!? Are you for real?
What????? 40 year old Jones and Bernard Hopkins were hitting him clean!!! And DROPPING HIM. Imagine what 800 punches will do to him. He's not a good chin you know? Did you take a good look at defense master Winky after the fight?? Joe can't go 5 rounds with Williams! True story!
OK now I'm going to assume that you're simply taking the piss.
Williams couldn't beat anyone in the top ten at super middle or light heavy. He couldn't beat anyone in the top ten at middleweight if it wasn't for the fact that the middleweight division is so shockingly awful at the moment.
No way Zaghe can win. Jesus people don't fking get what Zaghe really is. I'm sure if the web existed back then Marciano would win every poll to beat Holmes but yet he retired before fighting anyone half decent. There, have your hero but know this.

:lol1::lol1:
Yikes. Calzaghe's style makes me cringe on some nails-scraping-the-chalkboard type shit. Still can't believed they stopped that Manfredo fight after that flurry. HAHA.
N1 kswizzy!! uve finally opened my eyes at how bad calzaghe really is!!!
on a serious note.... people need to stop hyping this guy TOO much, yes hes a very good prospect...but thats what he is for now, give him time jheeze...ur already comparing him to the best SMW we have seen of this era and according to some..of all time. Id like to see B-hop give this guy a fight at middle/smw :boxing:
All I know about this fight is there would be over 1000 missed punches. The judges would have a hard time deciding whose workrate won the fight. (Too bad Larryx isn't around for comment)
this is the guy that ppl think could beat williams...

co-sign
people are so wrong about joe that make mistakes. look what happens to lacy, hopkins and jones. they all thought that joe was going to be an easy fight. WRONG big time.
What????? 40 year old Jones and Bernard Hopkins were hitting him clean!!! And DROPPING HIM. Imagine what 800 punches will do to him. He's not a good chin you know? Did you take a good look at defense master Winky after the fight?? Joe can't go 5 rounds with Williams! True story!
BS post of the day. You are acting if Jones and B-Hop KO'd Calzaghe. Man they never even fazed Joe at all, mostly Jones since he wsa bloody mess.
I can't even believe people actually contemplate Williams winning this fight?!?
Calzaghe is too slick, too fast and experienced for Paul Williams to handle.
Calzaghe can stack up the slaps a lot quicker then Williams can punch. By the time each round is finished Calzaghe would look a lot busier to the judges. It wouldn't surprise me if Calzaghe won every round.
