    both pretty easy fights...joe's last service to boxing might be to clear both those guys out of the game....then with him retiring it would signal a new era...

      Mind you, Joe blasts Dawson out pretty easily too. But Wroght and Hopkins have nothing at all for Joe, so it's relatively speaking here.
      Kayjay I'm dissapointed in you. I thought you'd have picked up on the last line of my last post. Just a little bit of humour read it again. But I've probably got the saying slightly wrong but you should get the jist.

          I believe Winky is. Hopkins is just too old for Calzaghe.

            Yeah I don't get it, help me out here.

            One more word about Dawson: maybe one day Chad will be as good as Joe, I don't know. But he's not had a big fight yet, and he has weaknesses. He's chinny and so his defense needs to get very very tight, which it isn't yet.

              I've probably got it slightly wrong. But it was meant to be a line from Usual Suspects.

                  i say wright, he's never been beaten clearly.....in fact to me he should be undefeated.....

                  hops is a bad style match up for joe in his prime, but right now, calzaghe will get hit with some clean punches here and there if he tries to swarm, but win 120-108 because of activity....if he boxes like he did vs kessler he will embarrass hopkins(actually, calzaghe boxing reminds me of the winkster, always hoing forward with a perfectly timed southpaw 1-2)...

                  winy is a very good style match up for joe, and theres a possibilty he wins on activity alone something lik 117-111, but i think winky would come out with something else out of nowhere, he laways does...and if joe has had trouble making weight and tries to box instead of swarming or doesnt swarm as good as he usually does, i could see wrights timing ****ing up joe's boxing and speed...

                    The winky of 5-6 years ago could have beat calzaghe he was so much better then than he is now.
