Canelo vs Calzaghe

[Boxing fan1981]

Calzaghe with his little girly punches aren’t going to convince the judges when compared to Canelos bombs to the body.

Besides, Calzaghe isn’t quick enough to run for 12 rounds. Canelo catches him and brutalizes the body and stops him.

Canelo can't handle 1000 slaps. Calzaghe UD.

Really good fight damn, either wins by close decision.

[LinaShields]

This fight depends on whether Calzaghe's punches can sting Canelo enough to slow him down, or if his punches can come quick enough so that it can land right before Canelo has a chance to respond.

Calzaghe's most notable fights were the RJJ and the Bernard Hopkins fights yea?

This fight might play out like the Plant fight since both are much taller fighters than Canelo, but then you can argue that Plant had quicker hands and better mobility than Calzaghe.

Canelo still found a way to deal with it and landed that devastating haymaker that landed Plant on the floor...

Whislt its common knowledge that calzaghe wouldn take a fight with a atg, not till canelo was 44 - prime vs prime it would still be close. Canelo will outbox him narrowly, but not stop him.
Might be an issue in Cardiff where Welsh ref will stop the fight when Calzaghe lands harmlessly on the ref's belly, and then refuses a rematch and moves up to fight 40somethings.

The work rate of Calazaghe would give him the lead for the early rounds. Against Plant, Canelo was struggling every time plant actually threw punches. Plant is a known gasser, and he thus faded away in the later rounds enabling canelo to stop him. Canelo will come back and take rounds 8,9,10, but Calazghe doesn’t get tired and will adjust. Calazghe by an entertaining but comfortable decision.

Now that May is retired, Nelo seems to be the de facto guy everyone will be hypothetically matched against

GGG who ?
