    Calzaghe is a 200lb man, and has a rock-solid chin.

      Classless pal.

      Briggs gave his all in both fights and gave Adamek the fight of his life in both contests. I thought he should have at least drew the 2nd contest but never mind.He isn't a slick polished boxer but he's a warrior. It's called styles ffs.

      Your 2nd mistake is underating Adamek. This kid has a big future.

        Not denying Joe Calzaghe my friend. Just staying facts. Me may be a man over 200-pounds but, how much do you think Adamek weight when not training?

          Well, Calzaghe is big and strong enough to fight cruiserweight. No question.

            You may be right. Still, he does fight at super middle and Adamek fights at light heavy. Like I said I am not saying that Joe is a bad fighter. I'm just saying that I believe Adamek would win if a fight between them occured.

              thats what im sayin, if a fighter like briggs is going to come that close to finishing him jus think what calzaghe is gon do. im not sayin he is not a good fighter but hes jus not at the level of calzaghe imo.

                Briggs is not a bad fighter. I'm not trying to change your opinion just saying that you need to check Briggs out again because he is not a bad fighter.

                  He struggles desperately to make 168, has done for years and years. He has to diet very strictly, and almost over-train.

                    But he makes weight. Castillo also struggled to make 135-pounds but made weight for years until his body said no more. Now, Calzaghe is up there in age already but continues to make the limit which means that he could not have been struggling for that long. His metabolism has already slowed down a ton in the past ten years yet he still fights at 168-pounds.
