Alan Minter(1980)v Joe <span title="Calzaghe(1999)Middleweight,15">Calzaghe(1999)Middleweigh...</span> rounds?

Question

How would Alan cope with Calzaghe's fast but ineffective and light punching tactics?

Answer 1

Calzaghe!!

Answer 2

Mismatch in my opinion. Calzaghe would bust Minter up and stop him on cuts anywhere between the 4th and 7th rounds.

Answer 3

assuming joe could&#039;ve made 160 pounds, he wins this one easy, probably by mid to late round stoppage.

Answer 4

Alan Minters big problem was cuts,but that aside he&#039;d be a match for Calzaghe at his peak,until Hagler caught Alan a few times with his head(1980) he was holding his own,I&#039;m not saying the result would have gone Minters way cos Hagler was  a great scrapper,but fot one not very bright poster to suggest it&#039;d be a &#039;mismatch simply ludicrous,Ive plenty of fights of both these boxers and can assure you Minter was no Manfredo and he was better than Kessler or Bika whom almost beat him.Robin Reid I believe beat Calzaghe in Newcastle and Minter was far better than him,Ill pick Minter to win by TKO round 10-11 or a  unanimous decision!

Answer 5

I think Joe would shade it as he can take a punch as well. I think Calzaghe is a deceptive fighter and isn&#039;t a light puncher as you say, he doesn&#039;t get the credit he deserves.
