Calzaghe Wants Tarver, Wright, Taylor

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Unified super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe stated during a recent appearance on BBC Radio Five Live, that he is very eager to face Antonio Tarver at light heavyweight, and the winner of the upcoming Jermain Taylor-Winky Wright middleweight showdown. He would like a fight against any of the three to take place in November. [details]

I would really love to see Calzaghe/Tarver.

Taylor-Calzaghe would be a phenomenal fight. Not sure how I'd pick that one yet. I hope Taylor can get by Winky so this happens. Calzaghe vs. Tarver or Wright is a snoozer where Joe will have to carry the fight against two very defensive-minded, cautious fighters.

neither taylor or wright have the power to hurt calzaghe
and calzaghe is too fast for both of them

[whoami]

i wanna see tarver vs. calzaghe more. this would be interesting since tarver has the power but he can also box unlike lacy

Well, he's far too fast AND active for Wright, and probably too strong as well. I don't see Wright beating him.

But I really don't know who has more handspeed between Taylor and Calzaghe, honestly. But yeah, I think Calzaghe could take Taylor's punch. Calzaghe is there to be hit, though. And I like Taylor's jab. I really don't know who to favor here. Let's see how Taylor looks against Winky -which is a rough test since Winky is so hard to look good against, but still. Calzaghe may just be too strong for Taylor in the end. I'm not sure you'd get Dibella to agree to this fight for Jermaine, though. But man what an early legacy if Taylor can go from undisputed MW to undisputed SMW. May be too tempting to pass up, esp if they can come up with the $$.

I agree with this.

I think Taylor can win a UD against Calzaghe, he his a big middleweight with decent power and good handspeed.

taylor would rip calzaghe

AND ON WHAT BASIS DO YOU SAY THAT?

calzaghe can never make middle weight.and super middle is where is the KING. going to lt heavy cazaghe would be most confortable at.

My money would be on a Winky-Calzaghe fight. Taylor has made no comment or noises (as far as I'm aware) about seeking a fight with Joe. At least Winky has talked about avenging Lacy's loss.
