I was never a Calzaghe fan, but I wish he was still fighting so he could murder Ward

it's way too early to say. as of right now, calzaghe is the tried and tested guy so he's the obvious choice. but i'm not a big calzaghe fan, and i wouldn't be surprised if ward eventually proved himself to be the better fighter.

pretty much. imagine if prime ward had got a gift decision over a middling contender like jesse brinkley. then imagine people saying that same ward could beat the best fighter in the division today. prime calzaghe couldn't even beat robin reid and now that same guy is beating today's best fighters who are ten times better than robin reid ever was?

oh luckily calzaghe has so many other great fights to fall back on as evidence he would beat them. like............will mcyintyre, tocker pudwill, mario veit, omar sheika, juan carlos giminez ferrari, mger mtchikian, branko sobot, evans ashira, kabary salem. if andre ward racks up 20 bum defenses only then will he be in calzaghe's league.

Right now Ward would beat him pretty soundly, back in the day Calzaghe who knows?

yea he is a demented liar. he says he called out pavlik like 2 or 3 years before pavlik even fought taylor. so you wanted to make a fight with a middleweight prospect no one had ever heard of? typical calzaghe.

Of the fighters in the Super Six, Ward would be the toughest matchup. I doubt he would stop him, let alone murder him. I would take Ward if they fought.

You bring up every single name except for the guy who's actually fighting in the tournament. Calzaghe was able to beat a PRIME Kessler without cheating or head-butting.

Ward does not have the ability to win on skills alone and needs a lenient ref to do his dirty work.

I do like both calzaghe and ward, but i would have to say wards style i think would be difficult for calzaghe to handle,

calzaghe likes his room and likes to move, ward presses forward and ties up, i dont think calzaghe would be able to get off against ward and i think that ward is physically stronger, so it would be a dirty one, but ward would pull it out

Calzaghe would have beaten Ward.
