Joe Calzaghe vs James Toney Prime 4 Prime?

[geribeetus]

bad style match-up for joe but im sure he could rally late to sneak it

i agree joe could win but if anything it's a bad style for james. swamp a counter puncher with more punches than he can see coming

[Shazam!]

I like James Toney but prime Joe would have won this on points. Easy prediction.

Calzaghe is 6ft. He would have kept the much shorter Toney at range and out-worked him for an easy points win. Toney would have given him trouble at times, but Calzaghe has taken shots from light-heavyweights and still won. He had an amazing chin.

Calzaghe vs anyone is a tough matchup because his work rate was so high that it meant it's difficult to get a decision. And to KO him, well, it never happened. He had an iron chin.

If Toney shows up focused he definitely beats Calzaghe. He was too good a counter puncher for Calzaghe's style.

james toney! easy too

People talk about Joe's workrate but what people forget is that Joe had no defence and even though he would be in the fight with Toney he would catch too many punches and lose the fight because his defence would let him down, ive said it before i will say it again, Joe Calzaghe is not technically sound enough to beat elite fighters like Toney, Jones, Hopkins in their prime, both Hopkins and Jones managed to drop him and they are no where near the fighters they were.

Calzaghes wide punches would be disastrous against a sharp shooter like Toney and Toney at 168 definitely hit hard enough to make Joe think twice about throwing. Getting Toney to show up in top form would be the hardest part.

Joe gets on his ass a few times, all from counter right hands. This wins Toney a UD.

That's the perfect style for Toney. Terrible matchup for Calzaghe.
