Who would win a bout between Joe Calzaghe and Andre Dirrell at 168? This is assuming Calzaghe can still make the weight without too much trouble and still remains in decent fighting form.
Joe would beat Andre after a three day bender in Ibiza on just a few hours sleep. And it wouldn't even be competitive. I don't think people appreciate how skilled Joe really was, no surprise honestly, but he was a Mayweather/Pacquaio level talent at his best. He just didn't have the opponents to prove it against unfortunately, Bernard wanted no parts of Joe and Roy had bigger fish to fry at the time.
The way Andre looked on Saturday against AA vs. the way Joe looked against Roy. I have to go with Andre. Andre has enough pop to make Joe have to reset. Andre was surgical with the double and triple straight lefts and was fluid in his switch from southpaw to ortho, change of direction and shifting of angles as well as not forgeting about the body using the jab to the body to create space. I think that if Joe started a combo, Andre could and would interrupt it with a precision shot and then turn him.
LOL.
Let's see, Dirrell moves backwards, Calzaghe moves forwards, Calzaghe throws and lands more punches. Bit of a no-brainer.
Dirrell doesn't really hit that hard for Calzaghe either, so I can't see him putting a dent in Calzaghe.
I'd like to see Joe vs AA. Would be hilarious. Joe would get a premature stoppage after throwing 402 shots in combination without reply. Enzo runs in and AA sucker punches him.
lol true!!!
I voted for Calzaghe by KO since the crack will give him extra power.

Two of these threads. ...
Like I said in the other thread, I think Calzaghe would win.
Yeah, I messed up. I made a topic before I knew this one existed! Mines a public poll though so you know how ppl feel about the fight. Basically, so ppl can't hide their opinions! :rofl:
