Joe Calzaghe in today's LHW division.

How would he do against the likes of Ward, Kovalev, and Stevenson?

beats all 3

beats all 3

I think Calzaghe would be a bad match-up for Ward stylistically. Too much workrate.

[FinitoxDinamita]

One handed fighter Stevenson would get Lacy'd. He would get it the worst.

[Rahat]

Calzaghes workrate was some next level shiz he beats all 3 but kovalev will knock him down

[VG_Addict]

One handed fighter Stevenson would get Lacy'd. He would get it the worst.

Calzaghe was awkward, had good speed, and threw in volume.

That spells poison for a counter-puncher like Stevenson.

Calzaghe probably wins all three because of work rate. I've met him in real life and he's alot larger framed than you'd expect too.

Kessler landed 47% of his punches against JC. Replace Kessler's name with Kovalev, Beterbiev, Bivol, Shabranskyy, Barrera (even he did better vs Ward) , etc. what is the result?

The top 3 most dangerous punchers JC has faced were Kessler (71% ko ratio), Lacy (53% ko ratio), followed by guys you've never heard of in the low 60% range.

Kovalev-81%
Stevenson-79%
Beterbiev-100%
Smith-79%
Bivol-75%
Gvozdyk-79%
etc. etc.

Can the guy getting dropped by Hopkins-RJJ, 48% and 63% respectively, the guy getting rocked by Mitchell-Bika, take a LHW punch? I don't see it. JC was great at managing distance but easily hit. He never took any chances against legit power punchers, it's simply a fact.
