    Is this another jazzercising exhibition for the KO specialist Calzaghe?

    I'd definitely pick Joe... sadly.

    At 168 it has to be Joe via decisiĆ³n.

    But I like GGG more than Calzaghe.

    Calzaghe vs Canelo sounds more appealing to me. I'm no fan of Joe, but it'd be a joy to watch him beat the fuck outta the Ginger.

    Would be a close nap and tuck affair. Depend on wether you prefer the cleaner harder punches of GGG, or the clinching and slapping of JC

    It would be a one sided fight...but not as bad as the lacy one, as Canelo's isn't all that hittable.

    Calzaghe beats GGG but it would have been a very good fight.

    Lol. There you go again.... overeating the fuck outta Canelo's D.

    Canelo couldn't avoid Golov's jab to save his life. His defense is nothing special

    Saying that Canelo has better D than Lacy is overrating it? lol

    My point is, Coking Joe would would find Nelo an easy target to find.

    I don't think Nelo lasts the distance. If there's one thing Calz had plenty of, it's stamina. And we all know what Nelo don't have.

    All I was saying is that although Calzaghe dominates him....it's not to the degree he dominated Lacy. I think we can agree on that.

    Pretty sure that Canelo goes the distance with JC. JC never came close to stopping a guy as good as Canelo, and the gincer has a good chin to boot.

    Slappy Joe's size and workrate would make it close, but Golovkin would win a clear decision.

    Calz was a large super-middle whereas GGG isn't big even for middle. That and Calz' work rate earn him a win here

    Golov depends on physical strength, and he isn't physically stronger than Calz.
