Joe Calzaghe vs James Toney Prime 4 Prime?

[Wukillabeez78]

This would be an exciting fight (for the viewers) however Toney would win easily. I don't understand how people would pick Calzaghe based on his workrate... Calzaghe did throw a multitude of punches but he didn't sit down on them often and he certainly couldn't hurt Toney even if he did. Do you know what Toney would do against a boxer like Calzaghe who swarms and throws a lot of punches but couldn't hurt him? Toney would simply lay on the ropes, avoid/block Calzaghe's punches and eventually wear him down, catch him with a tremendous counter and knock him out. How many times has Toney done this in his career and against much harder punchers than Calzaghe? Prime Calzaghe was a good fighter but a prime Toney is superior.

LOL, he would fighting a superior fighter who didn't feel his pitty pat punches and was hurting him at the same time. James would lay on the ropes conserving energy like he always did and knock Calzaghe out.

Calzaghe has some decent weapons in his arsenal, amazing fitness, tactically smart, speed of hand and good chin plus the confusing southpaw stance. His biggest weakness are an appallingly low accuracy, very weak power, a lack of bravery and a narrow skillset.

Toney brings high accuracy, fantastic chin and power to the ring plus amazing boxing skills on the inside to middle, with major weaknesses in training and attitude.

Put in the same ring, prime for prime, there is no skill Calzaghe offers that can hurt james, the calibre of whom he has never met and would never voluntarily meet. Joe would have little option but to try to absorb James's blows of shocking accuracy, since he cant outbox James. Toney by very late KO or TKO, unless Joe can somehow get the fight to fight in Wales and do an Ottke on him via a Welsh ref who stops the fight for no reason as Calzaghe did with most of his defences (ie if calzaghe cheats).

His other chance is that JT turns up in bad condition and he can outwork him late on from a distance, he might just edge a decision if he weathers the early storm and make up for losing the first half of the fight as he did with old gassing Bernard.
