Who is the man to take Calzaghes mantle at 168lbs?

[IMDAZED]

Ward would have quite a resume at 168 if he emerged from this tourney unscathed--maybe the best resume at 168 ever. I doubt that happens though.

Abraham, just my opinion.

ward controls a fight better than anyone at smw. bute and dirrell have better physical tools though. if he beats them then he's in position to dominate smw, maybe for years to come.

Ward is a special fighter and I agree with calzaghe that he is head and shoulders above the rest. I think the problem he has is that he is gonna have to mix in some exciting performances occassionally in with the boxing displays if he wants to become a superstar.

People who lay in to calzaghe are pathetic. He was a GREAT fighter, and his resume is not as poor as people try to make out. When you look at it as a whole...it is solid, nothing less nothing more. He wasted a lot of the prime years of his career, but quite a few of these years were hampered by back and hand injuries. He would have competed with a prime toney, jones, and hopkins, whether he could have beaten them is a different story and down to opinion. In terms of history I would definitely hold him in the same esteem as toney though, hopkins and jones are a level above in terms of achievement and history.

whoever wins the super 6, will have beaten way more prime top fighters than joe ever did.
Joe easily beats froch. kessler and abraham give him a good fight, dirrell and ward beat him, and bute isn't in the tourney but i think he would beat calzaghe, would be a very interesting fight based on their unconventional styes.

Bute is the man to beat at 168. Calzaghe is the best SMW ever. 10 years as WBO champion, whooped a prime Kessler.

Calzaghe ruined lacy, he would give a good fight and maybe even win against the current super six fighters when he was in his prime

Dirrell is a hype job, no way is he that good. He was on the verge of getting k0d vs abraham and will get k0d down the line soon.

Ward should have been dqd 4-5 times over against kessler, 6 head buts and 4 elbows.

Nobody is the man to take over calzaghes mantle, he was way way way more talented than any super six fighter in the competition right now. Just to compare, dirrell vs froch was a 50-50 fight and we know calzaghe would destroy and school froch. just shows how since the best has retired from 168, the good are now being overhyped

calzaghe would whoop any of them even if he comes out of retirement now, he was just a much better boxer

how was dirrell on the verge of being ko'd?dirrell is the best super middleweight n he will show it when he whoops ward
