Comments Thread For: Canelo vs Calzaghe debate: Paulie Malignaggi stirs the pot further

Canelo wouldn't even beat Mikkel Kessler.

He is a 160lb fighter tops and his wins above that weight are against puddings.

That's like saying Cal Slappy wouldn't beat Usyk much less Wilder...AT HW !!!!

These FANtasy matches get crazier every time
GGG wouldn't even attempt a fight with Cal or Nelo's 160+ "puddings"

Paulie vs Terry Norris
Who you got

Actually calzaghe probably beats wilder

[champion4ever]

Paulie is right. Head to head Calzaghe would defeat Canelo because of his speed and punch volume. Joe had the faster hands and feet.

[Nightfall]

Clenelo would lose every round. Slappy isnt a stand there punching bag. Skills pays the bills

[fistic flow]

Canelo - strong and flat-footed with low output. Kind of like Arthur Abraham but with head movement. Calzaghe spins and shoeshines him into oblivion.

@ "probably"
You wouldn't put my money on Cal Slappy even signing the contract
FOH

you see what has to happen though,

it has to be canelo fighting THE #1 British fighter of all time according to this publication, boxingscene.

thats how top shelf canelo is

i guess there is no questions abut all the rest, no in betweens for canelo, never any rest

As much as I’ve liked Canelo even at his absolute peak during that year through 168…Calzaghe would’ve been a problem for ANYBODY. The guy had tricky footwork, non stop movement, non-stop volume, tough recuperative powers, mentally strong.

I’ve thought about this before. There’s few (if any) I would’ve favored over Calzaghe in a fantasy match-up except maybe a prime Jones, Jr. That output he had was pesky as hell but it worked.

Rematch at 160 or nope ......
