I was thinking about this for the past few days and I know that yes Ward is a journey man, but he was a tough out for many opponets (ask Zab Judah), fought 3 Ring Magazine's Fight of the Year and won two of them. Im pretty sure he's held some alphabet title. But I think my point is he did more for boxing by the way he fought than compared to how many W's he put up or titles he held. But does that get you into the Hall?? I think eventually he should get in.
Joppy is gone and needs to hang it up before he ends up seriously hurting himself.
I suppose. That just sucks balls IMO. :(
and I think the Eastman fight was close. You are right.
I just would love nothing more than to see him shut Calzaghe up.

He also rematched and beat green 2 times after that.
He had 2 warrants out for his arrest the night of the Hopkins fight.
There has been some speculation as to Trinidad Wrapping his hands illegally.
Taylor is just a young lion. Joppy was too old.
yes I know. Excuses Excuses. But do you think Calzaghe would beat him out right dude? honestly?
Yes your right excuses excuses.
To answer the question Calzaghe would beat Joppy with ease and I hate Joe Calzaghe with a passion. Joppy is gone and needs to hang it up before he ends up seriously hurting himself.
Dont forget Joppy also lost to Julio Cesar Green and got a very .

ROFL.
a "step back". Please. Do not tell me you are one of those people who has only seen Joppy lose to arguably the best fighters on earth. Because if you are:
I understand where these statements are coming from.
3-time Middleweight Champion of the World. "step back".
OMFG. He would be the best fighter Calzaghe has ever faced.
he could beat everyone Joe has beaten, on the same night.
What?
No not the 3 time Middleweight Champion of the world he is a 3 time belt holder who got his belts because Don King put him in position to get them. King never let his out from under his skirt and made zero attempts to make matches with guys like Echols, Holmes or Bradley in the 1990's.
Not only has Joppy lost to Hopkins, Tito and Taylor he was brutally ass raped each time out not even showing a sliver of being competative.
Dont forget Joppy also lost to Julio Cesar Green and got a very debatable win over Howard Eastman.
Make no mistake about it a Joppy fight would be a huge step back for Calzaghe. You could make a damn strong case Joppy is 1-4 in his last 5.
No offence meant though dude! Wow! Strange that you called me Moo. Thats what everyone calls me. Cousin of the famous American Artist Kathryn Moonan. You've probably never heard of her anyway? Oh well! Cheers Mr Knives!
I agree with you there. He may be the best fighter Joe has faced. But Joe's 33. Now he needs the biggest fights possible. And that doesnt include Joppy!
In all reality moo. Calzaghe would win this fight. Joppy is way too old, and does not have much left in the tank. He took a serious beating from Taylor, and Calzaghe hits harder IMO.
I just like stirring the pot a bit. :)
I am just dying to see that fight however.
If Joppy won: I would make a corny "fist-pump" and say something cheesy like "narly". I suppose I see your reasoning now, considering I forgot how old Joe was. He still looks primed however.

But the general concencus on this side is that for Joe to fight Joppy would be a step back. .

It's funny how we have completly oposite sides of the story on different sides of the pond. And no one REALLY knows whats the truth? But the general concencus on this side is that for Joe to fight Joppy would be a step back. He wants Tarver, or Johnson. Who was billed if you remember, to fight Calzaghe. But chose to fight a washed up, mentaly not with us, Roy Jones instead for a sack full of cash.
He deserves it just for being Irish.
Damn Right! Im not sure what all the judging factors are. I know in baseball there is merit to what type of person you are. If boxing HOF is the same way. Ward is all that is good in boxing. Its possible to see him in there. Plus all those fights of the year, WOW!
They'll have to stop avoiding the untouchable Super-Middlewieght, soon to move to Light Heavy to clean up first.
I find it hilarious how Calzaghe has been ducking Joppy for 3 years now. They were scheduled to fight, and no show from Calzaghe. His replacement was Hozumi, who William chuped the life directly from his neck.
Calzaghe can run but not hide. If they ever fight.
You know where to find me dude.
Joppy does not lose to "European fighters". Proved that by wrecking Eastman who would knock Joe smooth out in the early rounds.
FYI, Joppy has never ducked any fighter. HE is the most ducked fighter in the middleweight division. Re-schedule after Re-schedule. And I mean no disrespect to my European friends on this forum. It is just they have yet to produce a middleweight worthy of De-cloaking this vampire.

I didnt know that! It just sounds like a fake Irish accent to me? Which i've heard a lot of Bostoners do too. He's not Irish at all.
would feed on Calzaghe's iron rich blood.

fake Irish accent gimmick!
Everyone in Brockton talks like that man. Does not sound "Irish" to me.

Man...this is a joke! So Thunder Gatti is making out like Because he won 2 out of three with Gatgti this qualifies Gatti as hall of fame? What bullshit! IF Gatti beats Mayweather , then winner of Hatton vs Tsyzu, then i consider him hall of fame. For Thundergatti to preach pro - Gatti ranks before his beating, i mean fight with Mayweather is just plain gay. Like i said before, PROVE Gatti has a chance with a fighter of Maywearthers standing with EVIDENCE of past gories. If nt, shut up and let Mayweather put this guy in hospital!
I don't see anything that makes me think Ward deserves to be in the hall of fame. I love him as much as the next guy, but they man was pretty much an average fighter who was insanely entertaining. His heart and toughness are greatly admired, but his body of work isn't too impressive.
I question whether Gatti deserves to be in the hall of fame as well.
Spot on.Neither has beaten many real world class fighters.
And run w/ knives look at my other posts were i explain Gatti's game competition. I dont like repeating myself.
.
You have yet to mention anything new to anyone, or anything that would change other's opinions as to him being less than special in talent.
Lines like:
he is a blood and guts ultimate warrior, he can not lose.
When he fought Terron Millett he did blah blah blah.
Merely reciting easy victories over complete and udder bums.
Absolutely nothing other than "Pure speculation".
There is nothing wrong with liking Gatti. When you claim that he should basically move up to heavyweight because the competition is so mediocre at the lighter weights:
is when we have a serious fugging problem.
