duffgun you really think archie moorecould score a late KO over calzaghe - calzghe isn't like cotto he doesn't get tired as the fight goes on, in fact he normally ends all his fights very strongly look at the fights vs hopkins, kessler or lacey and his superior stamina (which comes from running at altitude) sees him through.
throw in the fact that joe himself has an absolute granite chin, yes he has been down a couple of times but each time it has been due to balance and poor footwork. i have only ever really seen joe hurt a couple of time most recently in the hopkins fight when hopkins threw short sharp right that staggered calzaghe in round 8/9. in fact its joes chin that allows him to overwhelmhis opponents with punches.
the match up would be ideal and not only was moore power but he was also very good defensively and a savvy operator but i just think calzaghes speed,stamina and adpatability would mean that he would impose his will on the fighter and the fight.

Yes but Hopkins has not got the power of Moore, Moore was able to knock down heavyweights like Marciano. Moore was also a very big light heavy in fact he had real trouble making the weight and would often fight in non title fights at 180lb+, Clazaghe was in a very close fight with Bhop and Moore is much more technical than Bhop. And as i said before Joe is open to the right hand and Moore throws a dynamite right hand.Comment

Mercer stopped Morrison for a title in 1991 and thats the year Tyson was fighting Ruddock and other fighters after his loss to Douglas. Why didn't Tyson fight for a title against this kind of threat? I think we all know that Mercer wouldn't have been blown out so how would Tyson react to being pressure in the later rounds after Tyson has slowed down with a guy that has a granite chin, late knockout power and good stamina? I think the management of Tyson knew about that. These fights could have definitely been made. Mercer was also there after Tyson came out of prison and his name was definitely bigger than the opposition that he was facing.
It completely went over your head. When i said ''Walcott, who's resume ****s on Tyson alone'', i meant that the win that Louis had over him was better than any win that Tyson had in his entire career, which is certainly the truth. Who did Tyson beat that was in their prime who was better than Jersey Joe Walcott? Thats my point and Louis was also past his true prime at the time that he did it.
Funny becuase i actually have Tyson in my top 10. Like i said, he is definitely a hall famer for the age that he won the title, unifying those titles and for his short title reign. He is just not an ALL TIME GREAT becuase he didn't have the opposition or performed as well against the elite the way these guys did.
It looks like its getting obsessive. ''Tyson in his prime would have knocked out Frazier''? What would have been better and what would have made you seem less of a fan boy is if you just made the thread about a match up between the two and gave your prediction. Almost everyone in that thread disagreed with you as well. You are not even reasonable in those threads either.
Also, those statments were not inaccurate either and many people agreed. There were certainly fighters that Tyson's management avoided and there were chances that he could have fought Holyfield just before he went to prison and he didn't. He made excuses why not to fight him.Comment
