Joe Calzaghe vs Antonio Tarver

[Xol]

I don't really like Tarver all that much, but I would say cueball wins it by a mid-round KO over the 'great white dope' Calzaghe.

Tarver beats Calzaghe easily.

Calzaghe would cripple Tarver with that broken hand...

I'd have to go with Calzaghe on points. Calzaghe would drag Tarver into a war and I would imagine the scores would read something like 117-112

I know a lot of you are pissed off with Joe at the moment because the fight with Lacy has been put back, but Calzaghe is a quality fighter... If he was as bad as some of you are saying, then why would Jeff Lacy bother fighting him?

Good post and I agree.

The guys in my avatar could all beat the **** out of Joe Calzaghe. Tarver would keep Calzaghe on the outside and beat him easily.

It will be an easy win for Tarver. Tarver by KO.

Tarver would KO Calphony. Any wild swinging fighter going against AT would get peppered & countered by him. Calphony definitely isn't stronger & if he eats some of the left hands that Johnson ate in both fights, he's going down hard. AT has a reach advanatge & would keep him on the end of his jab like he did to Johnson.

for anyone picking joe they have to realise that tarver has a good reach advatange and is naturally bigger than joe. tarver walks around 195+ and loves to counter punch...and take it from a counter puncher, we love guys that swing for the fences.

Well Joe's not exactly like Ricardo Mayorga... He's a lot more skillfull than just a wild slugger with power.

He's not the kind of fighter that get's picked off by counter punchers all night long.

He's a very very very good boxer.
