    I think that's OTT.

    Calzaghe is taller, bigger, faster, and has a very good chin.

    Maybe he KOs Calzaghe, but I think he'd be slightly slower with those extra 8lbs, and IMO Zag lasts the distance.

      What? Hagler is a legend but he found quick skilled boxers the hardest to fight, plus Calzaghe has a great chin. Lets not get carried away here, Hagler is the better fighter and would IMO beat JC over 12 but Calzaghe is a fantastic fighter and thats a fact.

      Add into that JC is bigger, I dont see a gimme on a stoppage.

        If Hagler can't beat Bobby watts then he sure as hell can't beat Joe Calzaghe plain and simple. Calzaghe is UNDEFEATED, UNDISPUTED, Title defences out the ass. Hagler was great , But i see Calzaghe winning a dec. Remember Calzaghe loves guys to come forward. Also Joe is alot taller, much longer reach, great chin, moves great. Only way Hagler wins is if he gets a lucky KO.

            I'll have to admit although I picked joe by Dec, no way does he Ko Hagler. If Hearns can't do it Joe can't.

                  Watts was a good Philly fighter, Hagler was just learning his trade around that time, he also avenged the Watts loss in 2 rounds a few years later.

                    yeah and i bet you've seen that fight. calzaghe lost to a 43 year old .i don't see how he beats hagler if he can't beat a 43 year old. guess it goes both ways.

                      You must think B-Hop sucks. Remember he beat Tarver, And WW quite Handily, Not so much with Calzaghe though, who was at his worse that night and still came out on top. Calzaghe, years of wear and tear on his hands are starting to show.
