    Dawson, Jones, Pavlik, and Taylor on could all beat Calzaghe

    Thoughts?

    Dawson
    is a southpaw and is a more natural light heavyweight then Hopkins. He hits very hard and has a good straight left. He is an extremely talented boxer but can stand and trade as well. I think this is pick 'em

    Jones i think actually stops Calzaghe cause he would be much bigger physically in terms of muscle and strength. And he would let Calzaghe go crazy against him while he is against the ropes, and then just counter with sharp left hooks, body-head body-head. BAD styles matchup for Calzaghe imo.

    Pavlik i think is an awsome fight. Pick 'em virtually. Pavlik would have to work hard. But at the same time, Pavliks best punch is the straight right hand, and that is also the same punch Calzaghe is most vulnerable to. I think Calzaghe would have to overcome some shaky moments early, maybe a KD, and fight for a very close decision win.

    Taylor. Ive been predicting that Taylor would beat Calzaghe and i think that now more then ever. Taylor has very fast hands and throws hard but looping punches. AND he has a good jab. Close decsion for Taylor IMO.



    If anything, Calzaghe looked very human tonight. You have to look at these matchups REALISTICLY and dont let your bias either way alter your decisions.

    Those three guys actually FIGHT. Hopkins didn't. Calzaghe doesn't look forward and was out of his element today, fighting away for the first time and at a higher weight.. Jesus..

      Ok I know im a calzaghe fan but all that aside.... Calzaghe was sub standard tonite becuz of who he was fighting every chance hopkins got he wud jus hold on.... didnt u guys notcie hopkins pushin his head in all the time?

      Calzaghe can only work with wat he has got and that wasnt alot in the ring coz all hopkins did was hold on....

      Dats jus my opinion.....

      Oh and now n then he wud fall to the floor claiming he was hit in the private area he did get hit once but he went down lyk 3 tyms....

      Anywayz

        This fight was an absolute style disaster for Calzaghe, more than pretty much any other fight out there. Thats why Hopkins was fancied in many circles. Thats why Calzaghe would still easily beat any of the fighters you named, cos they arent.

            You're wrong, you can never look good against Popkins.
            Never bet against Calzaghe, he always finds a way to win.
            He showed it tonight by spanking that ass.

              These guys come foward.

              Hopkins dont.

              Calzaghe won by a mile and if he fights these guys he will win.

                Calzaghe wouldnt EASILY beat any of those guys. Maybe he beats ALL of them, but they are all very tough difficult fights for both guys.

                Calzaghe is not this superhuman megafighter who can dominate top 10 p4p fighters. All of those guys are there, will be there, or have been there.

                  Joe destroys all those guys except for Pavlik, but he beats Pavlik comfortably.
