Calzaghe vs G-Man

[TheMagicMan]

mitchell put calzaghe down and calzaghe leaves his hands down to much also calzaghe never faced a puncher of G-MANS level of power

Oh and if KO'ing bums is how you measure punching power, Joe has 22 KO's in his first 23 fights. Most in the first 2 rounds. Oh and Joe didnt have the 2 embarrassing losses. Anyone who thinks Joe would lose this is just a hater.

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.

lmao did calzaghe bully you in school or something?


joe never ducked glen johnson as he was injured.



how can you accuse him of peds when you have no evidence lol?

Yep, when I think of guys who probably used steroids...I think of Joe Calzaghe.....The way he never really had any definition, never lifted during training, the way he never had violent outbursts outside of the ring, and the way his forehead looks exactly the same oh and how his power lessened throughout his career, oh and how his trainer was known steroid pusher Enzo Calzaghe....yep he is the first person who comes to mind when i think roids. All the facts are there if you dig deep enough.

Calzaghe is a drug abuser

Calzaghe was always a sucker for a straight right hand. G-Man had one of the best. G-Man by KO.

[Spray_resistant]

Joe would out point him, seriously the guy was the real deal and I just wish he stayed around a bit longer to show the doubters.

G-man other than his power, I don't find to be over all very impressive not great speed some good basic boxing skills but nothing that great really.

I'm not sure who McClellan beat besides the rather glass chinned Julian Jackson, or what meaningful wins he had above MW. No doubt he had some pop and might be able to knock Calzaghe down cold early. But I think Joe gets back up to outpoint him. My opinion might be different had Gerald's career not been tragically cut short, but it is what it is.

Calzaghe has shown himself to come into the ring cold, taking a bit of time to warm up/adjust that the G-Man would not let him have safely. Additionally, Calzaghe goes right at his opponents from the opening bell despite having lackluster power, which would play right into McClellan's hands. If he went down like he did against Hopkins or Jones McClellan wouldn't fail like they did to finish it immediately. Calzaghe's only hope is to somehow survive and take him deep to win a decision. When G-Man predicted a first round KO, he did everything in his power to achieve that result - I could see anywhere from KO1 to mid-round stoppage in this one. Just a terrible style match-up.

Calzaghe was 31 years old when Mitchell knocked him down...was Calzaghe hurt? How long did he stay on the canvas for? 2 seconds? What did he do to Mitchell? Oh yeah, beat his ass and KO;d him that round?

You do realize the reason Joe went down 4 times inhis career was from lack of sparring due to injury to his hands. All of the knockdowns, including RJJ's forearm shiver, were early and simply due to his body overreacting to being hit because he hadnt been hit in a long time. Want to know one of 50 reasons why Vitali never gets knocked down? The dude spars all day.

So if a fighter gets knocked down and gets right back up he has a weak chin? Well, Ali's chin was **** by your definition then because freaking Henry Cooper knocked the Greatest Joke of All Time down and unconcious. When was joe hurt? When was his faced messed up. The worst damage ive ever seen was from a forearm shot and joe was smiling about it.

Joe was knocked down 4 times in 46 fights.....Every single time he was knocked down he came back and won the fight.

i dont think i wrote anything bad about calzaghe's chin it is just my opinion that his hands would be too low to often against a puncher of geralds power .so stop throwing your toys out of the pram and putting words into my mouth
