How Do You Beat Calzaghe?

[mspiegelo]

B Hop with more stamina.

took the words out of my mouth. perhaps add punch output to that. basically bhop circa 2000ish.

So, here's a question....if, when Jones and Calzaghe meet in the ring, Calzaghe administers a Kessler style clinic, or even worse, a Lacy type beatdown, what's going to be the general concensus at that point? Right now, a significant portion of this forum membership believes that Jones is not shot, that he's only a little past his prime, and that he'll handle Calzaghe with relative ease. And a largeish portion of those seem to think Jones will win by KO/TKO against someone who's caught some rockin' shots and never been seriously hurt.

So I ask...what then? Is it going to suddenly be a case where Jones turned grandpa overnight and was, after all, utterly shot? Or will Jones suddenly become overrated? It'll have to be one or the other, I'm sure, because there's very little chance those same people who are predicting an easy win for Jones are going to decide Calzaghe is more "elite" than they would've suspected.

Seriously, I'm curious what the response will be by those who are certain of a Jones win.

I posted a thread asking this same question, and throwing in Pavlik too. I got very few responses from the Calzaghe critics, because the fact is they will never be able to admit that he is a quality boxer. Most merely asked me what I would say if he lost to Jones or Pavlik, and I had no problem saying that if that occured, I would have to admit that I had overrated him.

I don't think any of Winky, Pavlik, Abraham or Taylor have any chance of beating Joe, if I had to pick the least I might say Winky because he is too small and too old (relative to his best), but to be honest I coukld also imagine him making it a tougher fight than either Pavlik or Taylor.

Very poor post.


You are definitely wrong in every aspect. Im not even going to begin cretiquing that post.

And I thought it was already established nobody can beat Joe he is the most invincible peice of **** alive.

So....if you weren't going to bother, why'd you respond?

Seriously, tell him his post is very poor (already critical here), he's wrong in every aspect, and then don't bother validating your own words in any way, or putting your own opinion on the table....other than to imply that Calzaghe is probably not your favorite fighter.

Good God. Of course I have.

Pavlik = Slow, limited skill, predictable, comes straight ahead.
Taylor = Average boxer, gasses early
Winky = natural 154lber, old
