    Is Calzaghe a more dangerous fighter than Tarver and Glen Johnson?

    ...always had this notion that he isn't as hard a puncher as those two that knocked out Roy Jones. What do you think guys?

    No. And many on here will tell you he ducked Johnson.

      Not anymore, his hands prevent him from being able to knock people out.

        Those guys have proven more at light heavyweight so no, but he's very dangerous nonetheless.

          Morons. So far, probably more will follow.

          Calzaghe is 45-0, he beat Hopkins, Kessler and Lacy, he's undefeated for 15 years. He's the true super middle and light heavyweight champion of the world. Tarver punches harder but is much less skilled than Joe and Johnson got beat by Clinton Woods for ****s sake. B-Hop made Tarver look like an amateur.

          Roy himself believes Joe is the best fighter he's ever faced, and he's definitely better and more dangerous than Glen and Tarver. Did Joe duck Glen? The second time he pulled out I think he did but that was because he was going through a messy divorce and I know some people that saw him out in Cardiff pilled up, so he did the right thing to pull out for that one (although I had tickets and was ****ing fuming).

          I can't believe anyone would say Tarver and Glen Johnson are more dangerous opponents than Joe Calzaghe. If you mean in terms of KO potential then maybe Tarver is, but in terms of loss potential Calzaghe is the most dangerous fighter Roy has EVER faced.

            I hope your joking, if not your a helmet.

            Dangerous as in, KO ratio, and power, and how lethal, dangerous they are with their hands. That means, Tarver an Johnson are not necessarily BETTER like you've taken it, but more DANGEROUS.

              Yup this is what I meant. Maybe Jones would perform well because he knows he won't be worrying about any jaw crushing punch landing on his fragile chin.

                Dangerous in what? Beating Jones? Knocking Jones out? Ending Jones' career?

                No to the first two because the others have already done it, cant be more dangerous than something that has been accomplished already. Possibly to the third.

                  So can Calzaghe better what Tarver and Glen Johnson already accomplished against Jones?

                    If you mean Dangerous as in "Will he spark Roy out like they did?" then No way. I think he is more skilled than those 2, but he has no power really these days.
