Re: Joe Calzaghe - Question Mark
It’s really sad when you look at the SMWs now, especially in Britain.
There’s always been depth and rivalry, polarising figures, great match ups and great mythical match ups.
Callum Simpson. Good, honest pro, making best of what he has, but I doubt he’d do a couple of rounds with George Groves never mind the likes of calzaghe, Benn, Eubanks etc

Calzaghe didn’t fight Froch
Froch didn’t wanna fight DeGale..

Looked like it was on after Groves 2 as well, the degale fight. Even then, i think froch would have destroyed degale.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑11 Jul 2025, 02:37 Calzaghe didn’t fight Froch

But i totally get your point.
Its like crawford was never gonna fight boots. Once you've started making the huge money your not going to step back to fight the new hot prospect for less. Its shit or bust, another whoppa payday, or retire.
There is not a fight in boxing i'd rather see than boots v crawford.

Copp comes in with a worse take. He's been pretty unbearable since he joined The Ring.

Calzaghe would rate higher as a Super Middleweight. Not sure if he rates higher overall, but i don't think it'd be far off either way.

Joe would’ve given Canelo one hell of a fight. I don’t think he juiced either, in that tin shack in Wales. Can’t imagine his dad putting up with anything like that. Canelo certainly has, look at the size of his bull neck.

Calzaghe would have dominsted Canelo at 168, theres only a RJJ. Toney i think id say would definitely beat him.MightyWarrior wrote: ↑14 Nov 2025, 12:53 Joe would’ve given Canelo one hell of a fight.

Re: Joe Calzaghe - Question Mark
JC is all wrong for Canelo.
Look how Khan out boxed him, BJS was competitive too, then add on JCs chin and engine.
It would have gone like the Bivol fight, probably worse
