    Am I crazy for thinking that Andre Ward would be a SERIOUS PROBLEM for Joe Calzaghe?

    Does Joe do as well when he fights guys who can match him for speed, and who are mentally tough?

    It seems to me that Joe couldn't hurt Andre (or anyone) and that Ward would be able to match/exceed Joe's pace. Also, SOG doesn't have his AARP card yet.

    And Ward hits harder than Joe does.

    Would someone please tell me if I smoked too much of the wacky weed.

        Andre Ward has the skill and natural ability to give anyone problems.

              No your completely correct.

              Different fighters bring different styles, attributes, tactics, and problems.

              That doesn't necessarily mean Ward wins, however.

                Didn't we say the same about Pavlik after he Ko'd Taylor, I think Ward needs some more wins before we he's hyped up as the next best thing. Kessler could have had an off night etc etc, If Ward loses to Taylor this win means ****.

                  Ward is like a younger, faster version of Hopkins. And we all know how well the 40 year old man did against Calzaghe, don't we?

                    What he cheated and clinched over 160 times, Hopkins is was an embarrassment in that fight. Then in his next fight against Pavlik he barely clinched at all. Hopkins should have been Dq'd for that embarrassment, and I hate how everyone is comparing Ward to Hopkins. Hopkins clearly cheats on purpose, no one is sure that Ward uses his head on purpose as a hard ass 3rd punch.
