No style has an advantage over Joe Calzaghe's style

[Verstyle]

slick, crafty boxer-puncher/counterpuncher hybrid, with blazing handspeed and good defense...I was trying to think of a style that could have an advantage over calzaghe if the fighter arrived in top condition, I was thinking maybe a swarmer/slugger hybrid in top condition but Joe is a very top-notch in and out fighter, with blazing handspeed...fast straight shots like that will nullify a swarmer, and if joe presses the attack after those initial shots land, it's all joe, because no swarmer knows how to fight moving backwards. of course, we all saw what he did to a textbook slugger in Jeff Lacy, so that style has an obvious disadvantage vs joe.

I have come to one conclusion, the only style capable of beating Joe Calzaghe on points or any other way is another boxer puncher-counterpuncher hybrid, and even then nobody has a style advantage. joe's style is, 'solid as a rock' when it comes to other people having an advantage over him style-wise.

if winky fought joe. winky would win cause joe seems to throw all his combos right up the pipe. and we all know winky's defense

feather fisted yeah right he has 31 ko's and rocked lacy
all night joe has the most underrated power of any fighter

whos not going to eventually get rocked with combos flying at u at fast speed. u make it seem ike h got 1 punch ko power

just watched the fight again, and joe is fast! roy jones style will make it difficult for joe... jeff didn't move much in their fight and was an easy target for a boxer like joe... one thing i noticed though, joe seems to clinch a lot...

i never said that but yes u have to agree his power is underrated
and was by lacy who called him a slapper

yes, keng..the clinch, thats one variable that will make him successful vs antonio..although if the fights in the US he might get a point deduction earlier than last weekend in the 12th

Joe is certainly not unbeatable but he would walk right thru Winky Wright, walk right thru him.

For those that dont think Joe has any power...watch a Wright vs. Calzaghe fight and you'll think Joe is George Foreman.

Tarver is a defensively-minded southpaw with a long jab and a sneaky left hand that has real concussive force in it. Tarver's height allows him to stay away from punches. Joe's workrate will be slowed by Tarver's style a little bit. The fight would be close if they fought. If Joe takes Tarver's best shot to the chin, Joe is going to sleep I think.

i was just thinking about the serious ownage that calzaghe handed down to lacy. like WTF just happened here.

i bet lacy can't bear to hear the name joe. mark my words, he'll never go for a rematch - i've never seen anyone owned like that in my life.

kinda takes the sting off the whole hopkins/tito match

1000 slaps will hurt anyone if they just stand there. Did lacy get KO? No. ****ing welsh slapping ******.

Tarver is a defensively-minded southpaw ..

his style not his stance
