Who wins: Kovalev vs Calzaghe?

Tough call, but I think Joe's control of distance, high output, and awkward movement would fatigue Kovalev in the later rounds. Kovalev drops him early on but mostly has trouble with Joe never quite being where he wants him to be. I'd predict a close fight with Joe taking a decision and the internet screaming about "slaps".

Joe winning against Kovlev is very realistic, but to me if Kovlev knocks him down its not going to be a lopsided scorecard for Joe... I could see Calzighe eeking out a win on the scorecards after getting dropped.
BUt hey... its nitpicking! lol. We do know that Joe finds a way to get his hand raised.

I have always felt Calzighe took the easy way out and got credit for fights he did not win, or just snuck by on. He was also shameless against an obviously compromised JOnes... A guy he would have been obliterated by in JOne's prime.

For Joe to get knocked down and then beat Kovlev by the margin you sight would mean that the fight would more or less have to exactly follow the trajectory of the Hopkins fight in one form or another, but...Kovlev would be even more inacctive than Hopkins: Kovlev would have to really blow it, or Joe would have to totally make some very big adjustments, quite suddenly.
