Prime Joe Calzaghe vs. Current Gennady Golovkin at 168

[mathed]

Didn't read the thread but I'm assuming GG hataz compared him to Lacy and said he'd be EZ work for Calzaghe. Amirite?

Yup...lol

[Sugar Adam Ali]

i chose calzaghe, but im no ggg hater,, check my post,, he is much better than lacy,,

I think joe would take it because of his use of movement, angles, handspeed, activity rate, ring generalship,, ability to adapt and make adjustments,,,

I think the fight looks alot like joe-kessler

like or not Joe was the truth in his day

[mathed]

Calzaghe was dropped by a powerless Hopkins and an ancient RJJ. GGG folds him with ease.

You mean the Jones and Hopkins he both beat? The Hopkins that just dominated and broke his own record defending his 175 lb title at age 48....that Hopkins?

Flash knockdowns from which he got up to dominate and stop both, Mitchell in that same round.

Mitchell had power that rivalled GGG too. In fact, his raw power was probably a fair bit better but he didn't have as good technique as GGG. He was a good champion and a great puncher Mitchell.

He was hurt on both occasions. Salem wasn't a big puncher, Mitchell had very good power but not much skill. The point is Calzaghe was open for that shot because he was a southpaw who came forward and threw a lot of punches at mid range/close range.

[Suckmedry]

that ko was simply...devastating. he lowblows the guy then grabs him by the back of the head and hits him until he falls down. that my friend is power you can believe in.

hahahahaha that has to be the most pathetic knockouts from a world championship level boxer ive seen. I honestly always found it strange that Calzaghe was even able to fight on the world level with technique like that, i know he did some things very very well but that sheer punching technique is just laughable

[Jloro]

Who do you think wins in this fight? The greatest 168 lbs ever vs. currently the best middleweight champion since Prime Monzon, Hagler, and Hopkins.

Can not take this seriously. I must have missed GG fighting all of his best opponents

[daggum]

GGG was out worked and outboxed by an ancient, powerless, smaller, never really that good to begin with Ouma.

calzaghe is also powerless but at least ouma has defensive skills and knows how to roll with punches. calzaghe never rolled a punch in his life and came straight forward which was why it was so easy to hit him. golovkin destroyed ouma and would destroy calzaghe even quicker because he would be wide open for power shots. not really that hard to call this fight.

actually he didn't stop salem and the mitchell stoppage was early. uk commentators even said so.

mitchell was a good champion? he had a glass jaw and no boxing skills at all. have you seen his boxing stance? looks like he's trying to balance on one foot. also that was the weakest era ever. can you imagine mitchell fighting in the ward-froch era lol! mitchell was almost dying against guys like julio cesar green and manny siaca. what a terrible terrible era. he even lost to sven ottke.

[Weebler I]

15? not really. kessler, maybe bika............and uhhhhhhhhhhhh yep that's all. unless we are counting corpses and robberies of course.

.....and Hopkins, you mustn't forget Hopkins.

Golovkin hasn't touched 168 or an elite level opponent, I'll refrain from answering at this point. I think that's a fair approach really, for all we know maybe Golovkin becomes an even bigger killer at '68, that may sound unlikely but who knows.

I think the fair approach is to say Golovkin would lose to Calzaghe based on what we know about the two fighters at this point in time.

You guys completely missed the obvious, this is a trick question!!!! A prime Calzaghe would have pulled out of the fight three to four times, i.e Glen Johnson. The correct answer is No One Wins since Joe would have never taken then fight.

/Thread

This x1000. He would be doing what Hatton is making Murray do. And Murray is twice the warrior of calslappy as hes a road warrior like Glenn Johnson but Hatton is putting fear in him for some reason.

Joe would be hiding in the UK racking up those tomato cans like a grocery store waiting for GGG to fade like Hopkins and jones. Calzslappy only fought them when they lost their speed so he could throw 1000 slaps

The fact that you think Golovkin, with one win over a legitimate 160lb contender is the best middleweight champion since those 3 just goes to show you know as much about boxing as a gay man does about *****.

GTFO you piece of **** ******!

Your mama shoulda aborted you when she had the chance!
