Too fast
Ward put on a very poor showing, looked slow and out of shape at this weight tbh.
Body jab, clinch, body jab, clinch, clinch, clinch, body jab
A prime Joe Calzaghe takes this one very easily, almost as easy as the Lacy fight IMO
Thank you for your time
Since Kov couldn't do it now we have to drag in retired great white hypes to defeat Ward to ease the pain
cool , well Ward would get beat down by Marciano. Sh.it the way things are going the undercover klansmen will be making threads with fictional characters like I bet Rocky Balboa would f.uck Ward up you see what he did to Mr T & Drago no way Ward goes the distance
First off, Someone mentioned Spinks and Moore...thats a tall order even for a great fighter. Ward is incredibly accurate and can fight from all the ranges. Hes also smart and can stand in, at least against an excellent puncher like the crusher...Not necessarily against the likes of James Toney (Spinks could). But Joe is no puncher.
Slappy wins his fights on activity usually. Guys like Ward make you fight a certain way though, and he would frustrate Joe, make joe come to him to flurry. Wards better in most every way, even defensively...Joe is just more active.
I don't think Joe could ever really beat Ward, though he could eke out a decision based on activity if the judges count all his arm slaps as accurate punches. Ward could knock Joe down like Hopkins did. If he finds a way to counter Joe thats it as well.
calslappy would easily UD him, Ward throws punches 1 at a time. I literally can't remember the last time he threw a combination...
For every 1 punch ward throw's JC throws 10.
Yeah, ok. Calzaghe dominated 168, jumped up to 175 and took on the champ in his own backyard, already dominated the guys that define Ward's legacy, and retired on top of the game like a boss. He would have toyed with Ward, dominating him with his jab and ring generalship.
Prime RJJ dominate prime Calzaghe end conversation ... Kovalev is NOT an all time great ... if he was he would have closed the show ... why let it go to the scorecards? Kovalev inability to make adjustments on the fly ... he wilted and he loss ... get over it ... he lost all 3 belts and his pride in one night ... I'm pretty sure it sucks to be him ... no I'm positive it sucks to be him ...
The fight would do poorly $$ if PPV.
Nobody would want to replay the fight on the DVR.
There would be no rematch.
It would be an interesting match, but there would be few memorable exchanges.
I would like to see a fight like this,however, outside of hard core boxing fans, nobody would even care.
Ward by stoppage, you don't go from getting dropped by Hopkins and Calzaghe, struggling against Reid, Mitchell, Bika, to defeating the 175 King, TBE.

Would be a fight for the ages. I don't know who takes it, but Joe had a strong inside game and an even stronger outside game. In n' out. Ward might take it though. Hard to say. I'd give my left nut to see it though.
It's a toss em fight. No memorable moments.
These two couldn't carry Micheal Spinks jock strap.
They should also get on their knees and bow to the master Archie Moore.

That's not even close to what would occur, Kovalev is too big of a threat for Ward to unleash his full arsenal, we know Ward is capable of a lot more offensively.
Against Calzaghe who isn't a big puncher you'd see an offense similar to the one displayed against Chad Dawson, it wouldn't be as successful but that's what one should expect.
You don't go from having a close fight with Kovalev most people think you lost to TBE. I like Ward but holy ****.
Kovalev is a future ATG lmao, you think Calz could beat Kov when he's getting dropped by RJJ and Hopkins? LMAO holy ****

This is too much, this is Ward's first fight where he didn't completely dominate.
