Joe Calzaghe v/s David Haye (Cruiserweight)

If Joe is looking for the fight to put fire in his belly, afterall boxing is boring him, do you think it would ever become a possibilty that joe could manager another weight jump and fight Haye.
It would be an interesting fight which would almost definatley sell out Wembley or any other high capacity stadium. But would the fight be oneside for Haye or do you think Calzaghe would be knocked out easily?
personally if Joe could make another weight jump i think Haye would stop Joe inside 2 or 3 rounds. Opinions...........

i know its silly talk but Tommy hearns moved up a few weights and so did iran barkley and James Toney, so its not an impossiblility. but i agree its silly talk in terms of Joe Calzaghe not taking the risk as he knows his abilities

This would be far more out of the blue that those fighters you mentioned though. Such a far out suggestion.
If it happens I'll eat my own shit.

Joe could probably move up to cruiser and take a world title off a paper champion, but no more than that.

Shouldn't you promise to do something that you do not normally do?

I'm going to be serious for a moment.
I thought, but correct me if im wrong, a discussion forum is about talking and discussing things, wether you think they are possible or impossible.
Also eating ones shit is not a good thing to do. it contains urine, waste food products that the body does not require. I'm quite sure if you ate your own 'shit' you would proberly need to see a doctor at some stage, or maybe its quite healthy for you to do.
Anyway, back to the subject.
I think if Joe Calzaghe was confident enough to think that he could whip Hayes behind I think it would be a fight he might think of as his farewell match and nt a bucket full of cash.
But, im not stupid to think Joe does not have any sence and proberly has thought about it for a second or 2 but knows quite well that he is way out of his league here.

Calzaghe has been on his ass in both his fights at Light Heavy. No way would he consider taking on a cruiserweight.
Makes Chris Eubank's two sensational fights with Carl Thompson all the more remarkable.

I have to tut tut and walk away on the mere suggestion of this matchup.
In an all ass kicking, self defecation eating, heads up ones own asshole world - the fight makes perfect sense. 8) But there again absolutely not.
Calzaghe -Haye FFS. Get a grip Buncey and everyone else that entertains the possibilty.
Shouldn't this thread be on the BocRecSim forum?

Whatever way you look at it this thread is total shit. Haye/Calzaghe isnt worthy of any discussion. As for eating human shit, the stuff is lethal and will do you a lot of harm even if it doesnt actually kill you. Just to give you some idear of how bad it is, not washing your hands afterwards and then eating a sandwich can cause a stomach upset and dihoreah.

I think the peak Calzaghe, with two good hands and an iron chin could have handled Haye - but today's version is too vulnerable and doesn't hit hard enough. The left hook that bowled Eubank across the ring would have put down Haye too.
Calzaghe actually beat a cruiserweight in one of his early fights - Eubank's cousin, Bobbie Joe Edwards. Edwards was tough but didn't win much, but it's still impressive that Joe shut him out.

You need to see the bacteria magnified before and after visiting the toilet, its quite alarming.

Haye hits like a train - I don't think Joe is robust enough to have competed at any stage.
Eubank was something of a physical freak, he was huge at middleweight and super middleweight, and a very solid physical specimen. Calzaghe is nowhere near as physically strong. I think Eubank's incredible musculature contributed to his ability to absorb shots.

I never looked at it that way. Shitty smelly fingers need a definate wash. Holding your member for the duration of a piss is deserving of a wash too. Surely these are basic principals.

Whilst I dislike bacteria I acknowledge the job it/they do. I would hate to see it/them magnified because I might catch that OCD disease.

Calzaghe took full-bloodied right hands from Eubank without flinching. That tells me plenty about how robust he used to be.
Haye-Calzaghe will never happen though.

I have to shake my head and wonder why this matchup is even a discussion in all honesty.

Yes, and Eubank was a super middleweight at the time......Calzaghe was also in trouble during the fight. Haye hits much harder at cruiserweight, than Eubank could muster at 168. Eubank certainly had his moments against Calzaghe, even though he was clearly beaten.

1) Haye hits too hard, he hits harder than most cruzerweights so if you think that being able to take Eubank's shot is comparible you have been smoking something.
2) Calzaghe's hands are fooked other than Manfrado which was a dogey decision and based on him throughing a lot of punches not any power he hasn't KOed someone since Mario Viet in 2005, he wouldn't be able to through shots with the power to get respect.
3) has anyone seen 2 girls 1 cup because that told me all I wanted to know about not wanting to eat shit!

With Haye's vunerabilities he is not a 100% bet against anyone, there is always a danger of him falling apart down the stretch and JC is as well equipped as anyone 2 do it
I think the Welshman would be a decent outsider even now

joe doesn't have the best defence
