Ward had major problems with the work rate of Kov in the first fight and should’ve lost but was given a 114-113 win against a guy that had no where near the stamina of Joe. I think Joe hits hard enough to get respect and the sheer volume overwhelms ward for a UD or a late tko for the dragon.

How badly does Calzaghe batter Andre Ward

Ward possibly stops him. He certainly beats him wide at the least.Last edited by RJJ-94-02=GOAT; 10-21-2021, 10:40 AM.

I wouldn't say 'batter' even if he were able to win lol.
And it was Kov's power that really gave Ward problems early in fight 1.
In any event, predicting hypothetical Ward fights always comes down to 1) how dirty would he have to get and 2) how much would he be able to get away with.
He had to get dirty vs virtually anyone C level and above. And he was more or less always able to get away with it. If the fight is in the US, Ward would win. In the UK, Joe would win. A fight like this is why I hate boxing lol
