    Calzaghe vs a prime Lennox Lewis

    As good as Lennox was I'm going to have to go with Joe on this one.

    Superior hand speed and Joe's ability to adapt to pretty much anything in the ring would have seen Lennox struggling to land on Joe whilst Calzaghe could slip from side to side throwing fast and precise combinations from angles that Lennox would not have been able to adapt to. Not sure if Joe KO's him, Joe probably lacked the power to do that, but I think it would have been a reasonably comfortable decision victory.

    Thoughts? How do you guys think this one would have gone?

    I am sure Eubank would KO Lewis as well... Kessler would go the distance vs him but lose UD.

        This time, the "BOOM!" you here from Lampley, will be because of a BRUTAL Calzaghe right hand knocking out LL.....

          Lewis by a very close decision.

            Lol. I know this is all jokes, but I think Joe has proved he cannot move up in weight. He can't handle men stringer than him.

              You don't think the speed would be the defining factor? Joe would just be too quick for him I think. In and out with fast and accurate combinations. Lennox would be too immobile to deal with it and would never have really been able to get going. Joe got this one, around 8 rounds to 4 I would say.

                Joe wouldn't be able to move up much higher than 175.. he doesnt have the elusiveness and isnt as quick to the punch as Roy Jones, who did it comfortably.

                He has quick hands, but putting combinations together and being quick to the punch are two different things.

                  I think Lewis would have some trouble early on in the fight and would be outpointed as he examines Calzaghe's unorthodox style but he would then stop Calzaghe in the later stages of the first round.

                    Everyone who says that Calzaghe wins is kidding. Right?
