    What gives here? Any chance for Canelo to win or be competitive?

    Sloppy Joe by decision. Bad style matchup for Canelo.

    Close but clear for calzaghe

    Edit: Upon further reflection, I'd pick Canelo. He's a terrific ocunterpuncher and Calzaghe just has too many holes

    Calzaghe gets him out of there.

    Best case for Canelo imo,’is that he loses via couple points on the cards but overall Joe is simply too busy for him.

    Calzaghe would win at least 8 rounds, imo.

    Calzaghe was open as fuck,and canelo is a great counter puncher. Hed tag him hard and often. Old ass Hopkins probably should have gotten the nod fighting this way . A prime canelo could improve on that
