Terence Crawford vs Joe Calzaghe

[2128778]

42-0, 31 KO vs 46-0, 32 KO.

I believe, this one was coming sooner or later)

How do you see Crawford stylistically matching up with Calzaghe?

[gilgamesh]

Badly. He'd lose 10 rounds to 2 against Calzaghe. Outmuscled. Outsped. Beaten in every way. Beaten to the punch in 8 out of 10 exchanges. Over and over. All fight long.

Crawford would have success in spots with his timing, but I don't think he'd ever be able to do enough damage to stop Calzaghe from outpunching him, and outlanding him by a significant margin.

[The Docker]

I think Gilgamesh is being slightly generous to Joe, don't think it would be that wide.
However, he is right in that Joe would seriously outwork Bud.
I think the earlier iteration of Joe could possibly stop him, the later version would settle for a comfortable points victory.

I could also be being slightly generous to Crawford by saying he'd win 2 rounds. Maybe he wouldn't win a goddamn thing. He's a good enough fighter that I suspect he'd probably find some kinda bit of success in the fight, but I don't think it'd be enough.

[DrDuke]

Crawford would be too skillful and slick for Joe.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

I dont think he has a speed advantage against joe. Hes counter and win some rounds but joe beats him

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

The way to beag calazaghe is doing what hopkins did. Bernard was just too tired to grind out the win

Crawford doesnt fight like that at all

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Crawford fought one fight at 168 against canelo who is clearly on the downside and has no jab. Think everyone is a little excited

Calzaghe is an entirely different matchup from Canelo.

Canelo as he is now throws mostly 1 punch at a time.

You couldn't get Calzaghe to throw 1 punch at a time if you shot him with a Tranquilizer Dart
