Hall has done eff all bar beat Pryce.
I'm not talking about boxing i'm talking about street fighting where you gauge and bite people. I know people who would anihilate Calzaghe on the street.
likewise Dioufy. No chance.

In fact eff that, as you've asked the effing question I'll effin try to effin answer it for you. I've never effing seen Matthew effin Hall in an effin street fight........does that mean I can't formulate an opinion that a bigger, faster , better chinned, fitter more skillful fighter wouldn't beat him? No, does it eff.
All this fckin bull crap people come out with about streetfighting makes me sick, you'd think anyone that's ever had a fight in a pub carpark could somehow bite, scratch, kick and gouge while Calzaghe stood there combing his hair. I've never heard such a lot of fcking shite.
By the way, you don't like our light hearted bit of fun of a thread, I don't much care for your toilet vocabulary in case you hadn't spotted it.

Aww bless you sweetie have I upset your delicate sensibilities by saying eff once to your fifteen?!
I agreed it was stupid to discuss Calzaghe losing to Hall in any way shape or form...some people will take any opportunity to have a pop at Calzaghe and this is one of the basest arguments I've read on here.
You've just agreed with what I said earlier so why are you having a pop at me?!
They're probably right, a bloke who is willing to gouge your eyes out and bite you is probably going to win...but we'll save that for the playground. And talking about beating Calzaghe in a street fight is not something that appeals to my sense of humour.
My apologies.....
Ps Manchester United or Newcastle, make your mind up :)
Amen brother think you can offer someone out even though you know inside you're up against it...if someone upsets you enough and you have reason, you'd still want a go at them wouldn't you?berealman wrote:Laughable, that matt hall thought he could take on Joe, I bet JC is laughing his head off.Seems

true, and what if they clicnh? heads and teeth come into play then haha and low blowsAutobarn wrote:Boxing and streetfighting plenty different. Good boxer isn't necessarily a good street fighter. Good streetfighter not necessarily good boxer. You could be very good at one and terrible at the other. In most cases boxing is more reliant on having a good plan and sticking to it perhaps over a distance. Street fighting has more to do with ending it early - hard and fast.
In a streetfight would Joe's hands hold up?
Would Joe's messy scuffling hold-and-hit attacks be suited to streetfighting? I don't know.
Who cares?

Some funny and crazy posts..Help is needed..
I think what also has to be taken into account is what shape Calzaghe is in. If he is at the beginning of his camp, his timing, accuracy and speed are not all in unison and at their peak, and therefore he would not be as effective. Not to mention his stamina.Autobarn wrote:Light heavyweight contender Paul Briggs had some interesting comments on the difference. His dad was a local hard man, martial artist, doorman, street fighter - could make mincemeat out of ppl early on. Briggs, then a boy, saw his dad boxing on TV and couldn't believe it when his dad got broken down and (I believe) quit. Fundamentally the two are so very different.
Even normal boxing and Prize Fighter are different enough, because in PF you have to score hard and early. Classy fighter like Martin Murray is made to struggle when his opponent rushes him.
