Does Wrads dominace over Kessler make Clazaghe look even more mediocre?

Kessler may have had a lot of fights, but they were not tough ones. Calzaghe not only couldn't beat Kessler that impressively, but lost the last round of the fight and Kessler had a bad hand going into that match. Joe's resume looks dim right now.Comment

I would say a combination of ward's dominance over kessler coupled with how Joe got knocked down by the faded legends.
My feeling after seeing the fights against hopkins and jones is that the younger versions would have handled Joe easily.Comment

What's funny is that Calzaghe used to make out that Kessler was some sort of monstrous, unbeatable beast.
I mean...he asked Hopkins if he could beat Kessler
Calzaghe's best win is Kessler - but Kessler is best known for giving Calzaghe a tough, competitive fight.
Maybe inactivity has hurt Kessler but I truly believe Ward's style would always give Kessler fits. It was just a case whether his chin/defence could stand up to Kessler's power, and it did.Comment

ward is the reincarnation of bhop... if a 42 year old bhop gives calz the toughest fight of his life, ward beats calz.Comment

That is what I think too. That is why I don't think this win makes Calzaghe look mediocre at all. I just think Ward is that good. This was his coming out party that is all it was.Comment

His style is a little bit similar to Hopkins but I don't like that comparison because Ward is more hittable than Hopkins is and makes mistakes like lunging in recklessly on occasion.Comment
