    Hard to say really,they all had different fighting technics.

    clazaghe would win though.

    Bob Foster and Michael Spinks would destroy Joe Calzaghe. Qawi and Czyz would be closer, but I still think Calzaghe loses these two badly. Calzaghe might have a shot of out pointing Saad Muhammad, Joe's mobility and lateral movement would make decisions against Muhammad and the light hitting Hill possible, but Joe would be the underdog in these as well.

    If they were primed, Joe would be beat by all 6. They were all legit 175 pounders, all big enough punchers to campaign at bigger weights - all up to heavyweights, except Hill.

    I've answered the Foster one before. Muhammad and Qawi were killers, great aggressive fighters, they would rush and bowl him over inside 6 rounds. Spinks would catch him with something awkward early and stop him. Czyz and Hill would use their size and both outbox him.

    Smart enough to last but loses decsion to B Foster and Michael Spinks not after almost being knocked out. Qawi actually closer fight but Qwai stops him too relentless. Wins decsions over Czyz, Hill and razor thin against MS Muhammad.

    Resounding losses to Foster, Muhammad, Spinks. Solid loss to Qawi. split decisions either way against Czyz and Hill.

    Could surely out hustle Czyz and box on even terms with Hill but would get a bead whipping from the others

    They would all knock Joe Calzaghe SPARK OUT!!!

    Bob Foster would do it in the very first round, no problem.

    The mentioned guys are legitimite legends, Joe Calzaghe can only be a wanna be. SIMPLE AS THAT.

    Queen wrote a brilliant song that would suit Joe's ring entrances.... THE GREAT PRETENDER!!!

    Joe hasn't fought any legitimite 175lb fighters of todays era yet, he's only faced two pensioners that were blown up middleweights.

    hill would outbox joe in what could be a boring fight.

    foster would finish him early

    spinks would be too classey for him

    qawi would take the decision

    saad muhammad might take a decision

    joe would outpoint czyz, or stop him late
