abraham is a master of landing punches between his opponents punches and calzaghe leaves himself wide open when he flurries so we can see how that would end. ward fights somewhat similar to hopkins cept hes not old as dirt so he would have a very good chance.
these guys aren't mario veit or mger mtchkian.
your hate effects your common sense
however much you hate him and however much you try and discredit him on here,it wont change the fact that he beat everyone he fought
truth hurts

as i said, you want to call calzaghe overrated, then you just have quickly have to call pac overrated...only two world-class fighters i can think of who completely disregard defense and beat dudes up with pure punch volume...
and again...what did people want calzaghe to do, fight one more low-paying fight and beat the **** out of dawson? beat kessler again for peanuts?
paul williams-calzaghe is the fight that would have been great, but williams jacked that scenario up when he lost to quintana...

Finally, Didnt know you can analyse fights and style without critising calzaghe, For me He would have an easier time with.
Froch(Just too slow, Would be looking for the KO punch while getting tag with quick combos)..
Kessler(again)..
Taylor(Because he likes to fight at a slower pace and his stamina down the stretch isnt good enough)..
AA (would be hard because of his high guard,defensive stance and durability but Joe C would still outbox him unless he can hurt Joe)..
Dirrell (would be too inexperience for joe to be fair and might get stop late)..
Ward (is the fight that might prove the most difficult because he has a very good amateur background along with a good knowledge of the ring but just like Hopkins he would find it difficult to get joe in the middle to late rounds.)

So Jermain Taylor whom already got beat by Froch, whom has shown to gas and not deal so well with persistent pressure and work rate, is the least favourite to win the SMW tourney, is favoured to lose to Kessler, would be favourite to beat Calzaghe, according to 11% of people in this thread?
Nothing short of ridiculous really.

in truth the only guy who stands a chance is kessler.
ARTHUR ABRAHAM: AA is stylistically made for calzaghe, calzaghe's would employ a peek a boo style and lateral movement. AA would find calzaghe hard to hit and when he did calzaghe would take his shots. calzaghes naturally loopy punches would mean that AA is being hit more cleanLy than he is used to.
CARL FROCH - tailor made opponent for calzaghe if ever there was one. calzaghe can easily take his punches if he needs to and would virtually land at will
TAYLOR - calzaghes would force the fight at a high pace and JT would gas , the fight may even end in a TKO for calzaghe
DIRRELL/WARD - don't know too much about these guys but right now i think its fair to say that calza's skillset and workrate is at a level that these guys haven't seen.
i think a fully fit and well prepared kessler has a chance of beating joe. the key to beating any southpaw is a good right hand and kess has a good right hand. however the lack of sparring in the build up to the fight meant that his timing and accuracy was off -something calzaghe took advantage of. however even then its very hard to discount joe, he is a hard fighter to pick against.

abraham i'd say has a good chance of breaking calzaghe neck with a punch and stopping the fight by ko
JT would DEF get owned by calzaghe though
