Speed-Very close-edge to Joe Power-Edge to Oscar Chin-Edge to Oscar Footwork--Edge to Oscar Jab- Oscar "toughness"? Tough to call-Cal due to fitness & style? or DLH due to Speed, Power, Chin, Footwork, Jab (if u agree)?
Oscar would jab Calzaghe silly and make Calzaghe follow him around and keep walking into a jab. Oscar by decision.
For all those picking Oscar to clearly beat Joe, please tell me... what elite fighter has Oscar ever beaten clearly in his career?
Genaro Hernandez, Felix Trinidad and Fernando Vargas are good places to start. That said, I don't think Oscar beats Calzaghe easily at all. Not even close.
There was nothing clear about the Trinidad fight. Oscar blew the fight late by doing NOTHING. Even if you have Oscar winning that fight, he hardly did it in clear fashion. Oscar CHOKED against Tito. Hernadez was a clearly smaller fighter than Oscar. Vargas is probably Oscar's best career win, but Nando was not on the level of Joe, and was never the same after Tito ruined him. Calzaghe is a southpaw with speed, with better stamina than Oscar ever had, and tbh, Joe is a much smarter fighter than Oscar. Joe has shown the ability to adjust during the course of the fight, not Oscar. Once DLH has a gameplan before the fight, he's never shown the ability to change it mid-fight. But sorry, I didnt see your edit to after I typed the post. I think its a close fight either way.
