Calzaghe""James Toney should lose the flab and fight me.

Then gets up, wins and shatters your dreams.

Nah, he gets a lucky decision that he does not deserve.

Calzaghe would get **** kicked by Toney.

Nope, never would of happened.

Prime for prime, Toney isn't a good matchup for Calzaghe.

If a boxer is very aggressive, or is reliant upon a certain style/lacks a plan B, then I think that Calzaghe looks his best against them. They have problems dealing with his speed, angles and movement. Toney, who was technically very very good, could've exploited Calzaghe's technical flaws, as well as having the ability to adapt to the adjustments that he makes mid-fight.

I think that Calzaghe's awkwardness and his technical flaws are inseparable. The product of being a southpaw with hand problems and having a trainer with no previous experience whatsoever. It serves him well against certain styles, but would be his undoing if he came up against someone like Toney.

On a related note, if Calzaghe had stepped up sooner, I think Montell Griffin would've been a good opponent for him to face. Griffin was very tricky, and Calzaghe didn't have the power of Michalczewski (who lost the first 3 rounds and then scored a TKO in the 4th). Calzaghe beating him by using boxing skills would've been a very very good win.

ok very fair assessment

Light hitting Dave Tiberi beat a prime Toney. Calzaghe murders him.

I left out the part where you go into deep denial after having your dreams shattered.

Toney would beat Calzaghe's ass right now. Let Joe gain some weight and get in the ring with him now. He'll be leaving on a stretcher.

Moron......

[P4PKING2008]

Lmao. Toney would KO him in one round. Calzaghe has no business being in the ring with a beast like Toney.

[S.G.]

Toney's style would give Joe hell

[5burowz]

Anyone who thinks Calzaghe beats Toney prime-for-prime is a ****ing moron.
