Seriously, after watching Andre Ward vs. Arthur "The Jewish Jeff Lacy" Abraham, how can anyone think Ward would even be competitive against Calzaghe? Oh, sure Ward did decent using is jab against a slow, immobile blown up middleweight and he landed some decent combos, but he still got hit with a lot of leather, resorted to holding and headbutting per usual, and gave away a few rounds to a fighter who is all but done at 168.
Joe Calzaghe could be dragged from an opium den at 4 in the morning, put in a steam room for 12 hours, flown to America in coach, dropped off at the arena in a golf cart and he still would UD Ward right now. Froch is going to make Ward look really bad and im not even a big Froch fan. I think what the super 6 proved, is there is, and will always be only one GOAT, Joe Calzaghe.
do you know what a hypejob is? Ward is fighting and beating the best. Something calzaghe cant say he did. He ran his entire career and fought great fighters in their 40s and on the decline. Thats a HYPEJOB
Ward is fighting the best in the division? ok he fought Kessler ill give you that one but, Green, Abraham, Bika and Miranda are not the best in the division, Calzaghe was trying to get fights with the likes of Jones and hopkins when they were in their prime but they wanted nothing to do with him, he was to much risk for little reward, Im not actually a fan of Calzaghe but he would have beaten ward hands down!

Ward by UD.
The OP is being very silly. I'm a Brit and a Calzaghe fan, and I do think a prime Calzaghe would get the better of Ward at this stage but I worry about Boxing fans who can't give credit where it's due. Ward is a very smart and technically gifted fighter who is, frankly, several levels above left hook Lacy. The versatility he has shown in his recent fights has been very impressive, enough to convince me he is more than equiped to be at the top for a long time. If Carl Froch or Lucien Bute manage to beat Ward it will be the finest win of eithers career, and they will deservedly claim a place on any sane persons p4p list.
Personally, I think he beats them both and claims the p4p spot himself (if you don't have him there already). If any below prime version of Calzaghe turned up to fight Ward like you describe OP then Joe would be losing his 0. There would be no Opium or Golf Cart necessary.
Ward is hype job! i doubt he would beat the other 168 hype job bute! Degale will beat them both in the next 24 months!

Ward is the truth. His resume is already better than calzaghes lmaoo. These butthurt brits are retarded if they think froch will win this. I love the hate, USA is better than them in everyway and they cant stand it.:bottle::bottle:
Calz doesnt win more than 2 rounds against ward. Name 1 fighter better thn ward joe fought.........i thought so
Calzaghe beats Ward in a hardfought and really really close fight. I see it play out a bit like the Hopkins fight, but we all know that Ward is not as defensively good as Hopkins and I think the flurries of Calzaghe would stack rounds.
LOL ask Kessler who would win I bet he would laugh and tell you Calzaghe isn't even in the same class.
Joe Calzaghe would be lucky to win more then 1 round against Andre Ward.
Agree 100%. Andre Ward is another lazy "slick" young american Boxer who thinks hes still fighting in the Amateurs. He probably cried last night after he saw nobody came to see him fight except his own family. AA and Arreola got 95% of the fans to show up and it was still half full.
These fighters need to stop being lazy and dirty fighters doing the BARE MINIMUM to Cheat to a win.
Im not impressed with Andre Ward at all.
No need to play the what ifs game because Froch is going finish him and bring the 168 title back home to the UK.
