    Doesn’t get enough credit.
    Retired undefeated.
    46-0 32 KOs

    Uncanny cardio.
    Averaged 80 punches a round.
    Great chin

    and made Roy Jones look like he shouldn’t have even been there.

    hung em up after

    great fighter

    Bar Roy Jones, I think he would be even or odds on against any other 168lber...if it was my money, I would pick Toney over him, and Ward would be very close either way. Hopkins at 168 is hard to say, both of them looked awful and over the hill when they eventually met. He always beats the other 168 Brits, same for Canelo.

    He'd wipe Canelo out. Jesus I'd pay to watch that.

    REED Would Wait to See How Toney Looked @ the Weigh-In 1st:Jest:...Toney Would Have to Be @ His ABSOLUTE Best to Beat Calzaghe, Which He WASN'T Always...

    Something HAS to Give in Toney-Calzaghe - The Threat of Toney's Counters LOWERS Calzaghe's Volume OR He OUTWORKS Toney...

    Yeah, Calzaghe's Length, Speed and ACTIVITY Are a Bad Matchup for Canelo's SPURT Fighting...Calzaghe Beats Canelo 8-9 Times Out of 10...

    No Way Canelo Fights Calzaghe 10 Times Without Getting @ Least 1-2 BS Decisions Out of It…

    I would say even with BS decision....Canelo won't register a W vs. Calzaghe at 168.........

    but then I remember 1 judge had him draw vs. Mayweather....and another just had Floyd winning 8-4, when Canelo won maybe 1 round...maybe.

    It'd be hard for Canelo to get a gift over Calz. He'd lose every damn round in dominant fashion.

    Toney would slaughter him. Old ass hopkins was countering the shit out of him, prime toney would have a field day. But yeah, canelo doesn't match well with him

    I agree, the Toney from the Barkley fight outclasses Calz.

    Calz-Ward is 50-50

    Calz beats everyone else at 168 (except for prime Jones, obviously).

    Nope
    Toney may have well beaten Calzaghe.
    Slaughter him?
    Nope

    Ducked shamelessly Glen Johnson. Guess you're a new fan, cause this is pretty well known among OG

    Coulda, woulda, shoulda, the calzaghe legacy.

    I honestly don't care about what you think the outcome of the fight would have been (but it must be said that youre take is laughable considering calz struggled with much lesser fighters than johnson). You've asked me why I call him a coward. And I responded by stating the well known fact that he pulled out numerous times of a fight against Johnson for dubious reasons (scared of airplane and bs like that).

    If you're making the case that Calzaghe struggled with guys that Johnson beat then Johnson BEING BEAT by much lesser fighters than Calzaghe needs to be acknowledged.
