      are we talking about the prime calzaghe who got a gift decision against robin reid? yea none of these guys stand a chance against that dude. bow down! what happened to calzaghe's work rate? a literal lateral movement and poof it disappeared.

      ward would dominate that calzaghe. look how sakio bika roughed him up. now add fast hands, boxing ability, and ring intelligence to that.

      dirrell might win but he might get robbed just cause calzaghe threw more air punches. either way it will look terrible.

      kessler has no movement and cant adjust so obviously he loses.

      froch has a small chance cause he has power and calzaghe leaves himself open but froch has no timing or idea what he's doing.

      green isn't worth talking about.

      abraham has a good chance of knocking calzaghe out cause he can time calzaghe between punches when he squares up and throws his lil ***** flurries.

        I dont think any of them, I aint too big of a calzaghe fan, but I think his workrate would be too much, he showed decent boxing skills against lacy, that would dismantle the 'come forward power punchers' (abraham,froch), forget direll and taylor they haven't got the stamina, ward looked good against kessler, but kessler had a **** fight, i dont think he has the experience to beat calz..

          **** off Daggum i was a Robin Reid Nuthugger at the time and the only person who thought that Reid won was Paul Thomas, who should have had his licence revoked for incompetance.

              What got in your butt?

              Calzaghe's quick volume slapping and foot movement would have him beating AA all night.

              It would be another version of Williams-Wright.

                well i have seen lots of people that think robin reid won. not just haters. reid outboxed him and landed the cleaner punches. even the pro calzaghe commentators scoring the bout had it a draw. calzaghe was their new star and reid was a faded name to put on calzaghe's resume. he was supposed to roll over him with ease. at the beginning of the fight they were talking about him knocking reid out in a couple of rounds. by the end they had it a draw. should tell you everything right there.

                    I think the best chance would be Abraham, Ward and Dirrell.

                    Abraham has excellent power, is a good counter puncher and comes on well late in the fight. He has a shot. However, Joe's work rate will probably win a decision.

                    Dirrell is slick and elusive, and could give Joe some problems. Again, I would give joe the edge via decision.

                    Ward may have the best shot. He is physical, strong and works well inside but still has very good boxing skills. However, I do not think he is developed enough at this point. Joe by decision.
