    I'm not sure who would beat him but I feel someone would. Maybe he first squares off with Kessler and then Froch, so he gets ****** around real good, and then Wards hand speed finishes him off. This tourny is tough and fighting 3-4 of the top 8 or so super middle weights is a tough task in just a few years span. There is no gimme fights or tune ups in between.

      I don't think he'd go undefeated.

      Looking at one vs one, sure you can say calzaghe would beat all of them, but you have to consider that he'd have 4-5 tough fights in a row. Calzaghe never had 3 tough fights in a row in his career! He would fight a good opponent, then fight 5 bums, etc.

      Have him fight Taylor, Froch, Kessler, Ward, Dirrell and Abraham all in a row? He's losing at least one fight.

        so he would lose due to the set-up of the tournament? not because any of the fighters are better than him
        thats interesting

          chances are he wouldnt have to fight them all since you only have to fight 3 then the semis and final so potentially he would only fight 3of them. I still think he'd go undefeated however hesold now so could have a few problems.

              Yes, due to the tournament set up I feel he would suffer defeat. If any of these guys make it through this tourny with no losses or even just one, I will be impressed.

                i see what you mean
                but he is incredibly well-conditioned,so if anyone goes undefeated it would be him

                  I think Ward has a good style to give Joe problems but I think his inexperience would hurt him.

                    thats wot i was thinking,definitly has the style to give him trouble for 6 rounds then joe adapts and outworks,with wards inexpierience he wouldnt know wot to do

                      Its a game of matchups. There may be some matchups that would give him issues. Most of the guys in the tourney are capable prime fighters. There is danger in that even if you are the favorite.
