Joe Calzaghe vs. Dick Tiger

[Russell]

Who, and why?

[Russell]

Bump.

[Sweet Pea]

Calzaghe by comfortable UD, though he could potentially take a count at some point if he decided to test his luck inside for too long.

It was said once about Tiger.."a good trombone player could beat him", meaning that the path to success against him was to jab and move, jab and move, etc.,....It's conceivable that Calzaghe could have used his speed in employing that style and avoided all temptation to slug with him, ala Joey Archer, Joey Giardello and Emile Griffith, and that's what it would take, plus no showboating along the way.

bump

Calzaghe going to be coming in with fast flurries and trying to change his angles, to maximise his hand speed and foot speed advantages. Tiger though, no one is going to beat him in a war. I think Calzaghe is abit too hittable, as he came inside with his flurries, Tiger will be able to trade with him and land some damaging shots. I think this quality over the quantity would give him an advantage. Calzaghe is tough and battle worn, although Tiger is a strong puncher and I do think he will hurt Calzaghe badly and take him out.

I wanted to say Calzaghe first. Anyway, Calzaghe.

He beat you by a good 16 months

[laxpdx]

Calzaghe by decision if he smartly boxes. If he doesn't, he will be eaten by the Tiger.

Oh my.

This. :deal

Calzaghe is not a mover, it´s not his style he comes at you with his fast hands but he lacks defence. Nobody coming to Tiger survives this without having a very very good defence. Calzaghe doesn´t have one that´s good enough.

[PowerPuncher]

Calzaghe has too much speed, angles and movement for Tiger and has big reach/height advantage. He also has a quality chin for when he does get tagged. To beat Calzaghe at this weight you need to be good at range and Tiger isnt. A good right hand is important because its the punch hes most open to and Tiger just doesnt have the lead right to do the job. I'm sure when Calzaghe throws combinations, Tiger will drive him back ad make it hard for Joe but from range Joe can score first all day and yes he'll hurt Tiger too, in is prime he is a bigger puncher, he isnt a massive puncher but he can still hurt you.

Calzaghe Clear or even Wide UD
