Calzaghe vs. Hagler @ 168

[JoartCC]

Hagler is the epitome of what an American champ is.

Calzaghe for all his worth won't last 6 rounds against a prime Hagler.

A switch-hitting southpaw with power on both hands, quick hands, quick feet, quick reflexes and is agressive as hell.

Calzaghe's own activity will work against him as he will be ****** up in a fight and eventual slugfest.

Prime Calzaghe wins this. What some of these ****wits don't understand is that Calzaghe is a good 3-4 years past his prime.

What he said.

If Calzaghe boxed on the backfoot and avoided standing toe-to-toe, he could win a few rounds by flurrying and then moving away, as Leonard did. However Calzaghe doesn't fight this way and I doubt that he'd suddenly be able to do so. Even if he did, I think he'd lose to prime Hagler.

I think Calzaghe would have a better chance with the Leonard that beat Hagler than with Hagler himself.

I'm not saying that he'd beat Sugar Ray, but to be honest I don't think that he looked particularly good above 160.

if your basing your arguement off that, i would like you to know that Hagler was past the peak of his powers when he fought Leonard and thats the reason Leonard fought him. He saw Hagler's fight with Mugabi and saw that Hagler wasnt the same fighter so lets say at their peaks Hagler would pound his head

using calzaghe logic=hagler has 3 losses calzaghe has none. calzaghe by ko

I like Calzaghe in this. I think his speed would give Hagler a lot of problems, and the medium range he boxes at was not Hagler's favourite either, he liked to be either at a distance or up close. Hagler also tended to tire in the later rounds and although he would fight up until the final bell, he would be a lot slower and clumsier in the second half of the fight. Calzaghe would eat this up.

Hagler's best route to victory is to come out and go after Calzaghe like he did with Tommy Hearns. Calzaghe has never been in with something like that. Calzaghe has a better chin than Hearns though, so I think I'd expect him to survive. Calzaghe Decision.

NB: Now before getting mad about this, just think about it. A boxer who is usually faster than his opponents, throws more punches and is very hard to stop is a very hard boxer to beat.

this windmilling clown beats hagler huh?

[daggum]

yea because Calzaghe has been KO'd before...... typical overrating of older fighters, the fight would be alot closer than what people are saying.
