Calzaghe vs G-Man

[T.McGrady]

Guys, i'm not asking who has the better career...

[southcentralcar]

The G-man by KO. Calzaghe aint nothing but a hypejob. he's got 1 good win against kessler thats it.

[damned1974]

Calzaghe was past prime when he was dropped by Hopkins/Jones. Calz was moving up in weight for these fights and his prime is not at LHW. He was only dropped once at SMW, where he then came of the canvus to KO his opponent. His chin was good.

Calzaghe was unlucky to be in an era after Eubank, Collins, Benn and Watson. Most say that Calzaghe would have beaten those fighters in thier prime.

Lacy wasnt a C class fighter, he was touted as the new mike tyson. Its the beating that Calz gave him and the injuries that turned him into a C class fighter.

Calzaghe has a better resume than Mccellan does.

Actually, he was dropped by BOTH Byron Mitchell and Kabery Salem (sp)...

McClellan as we know was not bothered by awkward fighters either,nor speed,nor power-(note, he whipped Roy Jones in his amateur days and ktfo of Julian Jackson).

I think if Joe could get through the first six rounds it would be his. Probably by late stoppage. But if not McClellans right hand would be it for the southpaw.

I don't think you can have too many questions about Calzaghe's chin.

The last two fights were him past prime and moving up in weight.

I think Calzaghe would win by UD.

Too many people on Calzaghe's nuts and too many people who simply hate on Calzaghe to get an accurate and honest result in these polls in boxingscene.

You clearly have never watched Joe Calzaghe fight, your opinion is worthless, delete your account, start over. Who has ever had to chase Joe down? Just tell me a moment in a fight where Joe was retreating? In 46 fights, just one moment where he wasnt coming forward. It didnt matter if he was just knocked down, if he was killing a big puncher like Eubank on the cards, Kessler etc...Joe always came forward. So the fact that you say someone would have to chase him means you know nothing about boxing.

i have watched far more of Calzaghe that you have ever watched.. i sat ringside in Sheffield to watch his fight with Eubank (weight-drained) in 1997, i also seen his fights live` against Reid & Starrie after which i gave up on Calzaghe as he was `Nothing-Special` IMO Robin Reid was "Robbed" of the decision in Newcastle and Calzaghe`s fight with Dave Starrie is IMO the worst world title fight in the history of professional boxing, ` it was utter garbage` Calzaghe then continued to fight Class D opponents in Thornberry, Pudwill, Sheika, Jimmenez, Salem, Mkrcthyan, Ashira, Manfredo which proved absolutely nothing.. he then beat 2 over-hyped fighters in Kessler & Lacy before fighting 2 well over the hill legends who was in their 40s Bhop & Jones Jr... IMO he lost to Hopkins... Gerald McClellan would have butchered Calzaghe within 2rds

haha I stopped reading when you said Reid was robbed,tell me, which rounds did Reid win. Cause thats bs. By the way the only judge who had Reid winning also ruled Dimitrenko and Eddie chambers...a draw. The other judges had it 116-111. And how in your opinion did he lose to Hopkins, so you think he really gave Hopkins a low blow? The only judge who had Joe losing to Bhop...was a woman. I guess it takes someone without a **** to think Joe lost that fight. Fits you well.

Oh and joe wasnt backing away the whole Lacy fight, are you on drugs? Joe was walking straight into Lacy or standing right in front of him.

The Reid winning thing is hilarious, cant wait for your round breakdown you liar.

Lacy was a tomato can like Pudwill, Ashira & Mkrcthyan.. Robin Reid was "Robbed" against Calzaghe with Calzaghe refusing to ever grant him a rematch even with public demand for it running high.

What has Dimitrenko & Chambers got to do with this or a judge being a female?

Hopkins vs Calzaghe was a very debatable decision to many boxing fans although IMO Calzaghe vs Reid was far more debatable.

Promoter Frank Warren tells the best stories about Joe Calzaghe like when Calzaghe fained injury so as to avoid fighting Glen Johnson twice.

But who has Calzaghe beaten that makes him in your opinion your choice to beat McClellan?... which top flight fighter has he beaten who was at the top of their game`?

address my remark about Calzaghe vs Starrie being "The worst world title fight in boxing history".... Calzaghe was a fraud who was afraid to leave his own back yard or to fight the best opponents and is also a terrible role-model to young sports fans with him being a "Drug-user" which leads me to believe that his reason for never leaving his beloved backyard was because he was using PEDs throughout his career which is a claim i have heard many times.

[rsf]

calzaghe for me has his hands to low and has been put down because of this if the G-MAN were to catch calzaghe as i think he would then its goodnight calzaghe even if he gets to his feet he is going to be put straight back down and stay down. calzaghe hands down approach would of seen him lose this match-up

[KlownvonnomaD]

Calzaghe on points.

G-man might score a early knock down.
But there is no way in hell McClellan could last 12 rounds at Calzaghe pace.
If you look at McClellan/Benn, McClellan was gassed by the 4/5 round.
