Wilder beats anybody except Fury, Calzaghe beat absolutely nobody except Kessler, who was wildly overrated, until he dug up the bodies of Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr, 20 years too late, and even still, the shell of the corpse of Bernard Hopkins beat him by 2-3 points. The fans are the judges. Nash out
Joe Calzaghe and Deontay Wilder

No, skill for skill Calzaghe was on a completely different level to Wilder 'And as a Champion? He the UK greatest World Champion since Lennox Lewis'.
Calzaghe as a Champion took on all comers. Chris Eubank Senior was a solid win, a peak Robin Reid was a great win 'Kessler was a great win'.
Throughout his career he has fought better fighters than Wilder 'Consistently'.
Joe Calzaghe competed in the last great era of the Super Middle Weight Division.
Since the retirements of Calzaghe, Ward, Kessler, Froch. The MiddleWeight to Super Middle Weight divisions have drop down in levels.
Joe Calzaghe does not drop a round potentially to Alvarez at 168 pounds. Goodness me, if Alvarez is struggling with the pace of these 168 pound fighters 'Fighting Joe Calzaghe is a extremely bad idea. I have always said it? Both Calzaghe and Froch would of beaten Alvarez 'There is no Middle-Super Middle Weight on Alvarez's resume that beats Joe Calzaghe'.
You are bringing up the Hopkins fight. That version of Bernard Hopkins is still a really great fighter 'And I would back that Hopkins to beat Alvarez'.
Calzaghe was also in the later stages of his career, people must also take that into consideration 'Calzaghe still beat Hopkins, but yes it was a close fight'.
Overall there are no active Super Middle Weights today on Calzaghe's level 'This is clear to see'.
A peak Calzaghe would beat Alvarez the same way he beat Jeff Lacey 'In the sense that, I would find it difficult to inversion Alvarez genuinely taking whole rounds off Calzaghe' etc.
Note: I rate Deontay Wilder within this era of Heavyweights, but lets be real? He is not on the level of Joe Calzaghe skill for skill, and nowhere near his level as Champion 'Although Wilder was a solid enough Heavyweight Champion, in this era of Heavyweights'.Last edited by PRINCEKOOL; 05-28-2023, 08:44 PM.Comment
