      My favourite Joe is the one from the Charles Brewer/Mario Veit kind of era.

      That said this Joe probably beats that one. Weird.
      Physically prime Calzaghe vs Mentally Prime Calzaghe. I'd say Calzaghe is a lot more versatile now but back then he had a good punch.

      It's a pick em.

          If only Hopkins hadn't ducked him when terms were agreed in 2002 eh. We know now why he did it though - even an aged Calzaghe was way too much for Hopkins. I'm still waiting for someone to answer the question on who he didn't fight though.

            Yes the Slap flurries Will be to much for Kelly.

              Pavlik would get beaten as badly as Lacy was. A terrible matchup for Kelly.

                an aged Calzaghe?
                Hopkins was 7 years older than Joe when they fought, still dropped him in an extremly close fight.
                If your going to comment on a fight, at least watch it first.

                Joe never fought Toney, Jones, Hopkins or even a guy like Virgil Hill or Dariusz.
                He never made ANY legitimate effort to get a marquee fight.

                  Not at all.
                  Joe likes to engage and fight on the inside, we saw what one right hand did to him, now think about a guy like Pavlik, who is far more powerful.

                    So two cruiserweights, a cruiser/heavy, a middleweight who agreed terms and then ducked out of the fight, and a fighter who only now recognises that Calzaghe is on the same planet as him. That's a piss poor list.

                    And of course I saw the Hopkins fight, dull as it was. If your theory about Pavlik revolves around the fact that Hopkins managed to knock him down then you're ****ed. I doubt Hopkins is even in the top half of Calzaghe's hardest hitting opponents and he's only been floored 3 times in 44 fights. Pavlik wouldn't be able to land and would get slapped around silly.
