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

      Hopkins said i himself at 43 he is worried about his health and stamina and isn't sure whether he could keep up with someone like Calzaghe so he focused on slowing the pace and protecting himself.

      Then when he got back together with Richardson, Nasim convinced him to abandon it and make him realise he can still fight without having to slow the pace so he did and he gave Pavlik and old school beating.

        Ward will give people probs because he's smart and has a good skill set which allows him to adjust to each opponent. Ward's camp took the time to develop him at their own pace and now its paying off.

            ...and on that note, when are they taking the bubble wrap off Rock Allen? He was on he '04 team also.

            I don't even hear his name anymore.

              Calzaghe won.

                I always underestimated Calzaghe. He always made great guys look less somehow. He swung like a girl but that ***** hit hard.
