joe calzaghe vs jermaine taylor

[daggum]

i think calzaghe would do good in the olympics with his windmill style. too bad it doesn't translate to the pro game and makes boxing look ******ed.

[WESS]

I know, Kessler fights like a *****, he flinches everytime someone throws a punch or at least pretends to. Pavlik is so much tougher than him, to compare the 2 is just ******.

naaaa I like Kessler. He's a good guy! I think he just needs to sharpen up his game. He's not anything special, yet "SOME" use him as an example of being a great fighter simply because he was undefeated. I think a good match and an argument settler would be a PAV VS Kessler fight. I like both guys and with saying that, IMO PAV would simply out box, out punch, and totally dominate the guy. IF Kessler was hurt fighting Joe what the hell makes anyone think that PAV couldn't KO this guy. I mean if joe and his AWESOME CRAZY punching power had him backing up, you better believe PAV will have him running back.

chances are they were all British

Desperate measures to seem right.

Of course they weren't it was on this site which is infact mostly Americans.

I'm sure you know and judged that to be the case already though.

Calzaghe is not way better than Cotto. Way better chin, yes but technically, Cotto is notches above JC, who just always looks sloppy to me.

This current version of Calzaghe has no power, none. He will not hurt Pavlik at all. But I don't think his ego and machismo will allow him to merely box all the way- if he's gonna try to slug it out with Pavlik, he'll get stunned in the same way Kessler stunned him. It was only when he stopped trying to trade did he nullify Kessler.

But I don't Pavlik would mentally implode and become as disheartened as Kesser. He's going to keep on coming. Pavlik is a young, tough bastard and has elite level experience that Kesser and Lacy didn't have.

I'd honestly favour Pavlik. Joe is not this wonderful, pure boxer you think he is, and Pavlik is not as one-dimensional as Kessler and Lacy.

Let's just hope Joe doesn't end his career after his Seniors tour.

I agree at some point Calzaghe will stand and trade with Pavlik, what you said about his ego an machismo is dead on accurate. It's the reason why earlier in his career Calzaghe sometimes looked bad against opposition who were tougher than he expected. I think even now, he still wishes he could just blast people out of there.

I have no idea though, how anyone who has watched Joe fight Kessler can doubt his boxing ability, when he uses it, it is awesome, its just that he very often doesn't. When he wants to be Calzaghe is an exceptionally accurate puncher, as a brief inspection of his career wil reveal. I also don't understand how anyone who has seen Kessler fight can think he is one-dimensional, especially in comparison to Pavlik. Kessler did not mentally collapse against Joe, and he did keep coming, they were slugging it out right up to the final bell, its just that Joe outboxed him comprehensively, and he would do the same to Pavlik.

One dude won half your medals by swimming in different positions.

I didnt realise you could win gold medals for something I do in my back garden paddling pool.

How many gold medals have english limies athletes won, ZERO, N. Cooke won a gold and she's Welsh. The USA will have 50+ golds by the end of the games, the english jokes will be lucky if you win 2 golds. You always bring up **** about the USA population, you English limies outnumber Wales and Scotland more than the USA outnumbers you. and yet they still have won more medals than you english losers.

Calzaghe by beheading.

Actually, in all seriousness. . . . Joe could, and would, beat Taylor with two glass eyes, in a dress, handcuffed, on one leg, with a mouthful of single malt whisky. Afterwards, it would be reported that Taylor, in the dressing room, asks Calzaghe for his autograph.

I may adopt this line of reasoning. It is funnier than actual boxing talk.
