I address this to those who think Ward beats Calzaghe

[bojangles1987]

He'd certainly give Calzaghe a better fight than most of who Joe fought. I can't say with certainty he would beat Calzaghe, but you better believe he would have a good chance.

WTF are you on about? Calzaghe's resume is bull**** and everyone knows it.

When Calzaghe was 35 he was finally accomplishing some of the things that Ward is already doing at 25... like beating someone that matters in the sport.

Calzaghe may be a better fighter but you can hardly tell by looking at the long line of nobodies that he beat up and the two ancient washed up Grandpas that he fought to end his career.

To be fair, Calzaghe at the age of 25 was only 4 year as a pro and not nearly the Amateur pedigree that Ward had. That can also be taken into account when comparing the two you know? At age 25 Ward was a 5 year pro and an outstanding amateur. Calzaghe at age 25 already had a win over Eubanks. Ward at age 25 had wins over Miranda and Kessler.

I see it like this Kessler>Eubanks>Miranda. And, if you put everything into account amateur pedigree, years as a pro. Both resumes by the age of 25 is not really that off from each other. I would give the edge to Ward but not by much.

[jrosales13]

Without a doubt. Ward would shut Hopkins out if they fought tomorrow.

When Joe Calzaghe was Andre Ward's age he couldn't even win a clear decision over Robin Reid.

It will be a cold day in hell before Andre Ward loses a scorecard 116-111 to a fighter who was just good, and not great, like Robin Reid.

Well ****, I would hope so

now for ward to keep up with calzaghe he has to fight absolute nobodies for ten years. it's a tough task will he accept the challenge?

So true! Can't see it happening though.

[LEATHERF8CE]

It doesn't really take much for a fighter to be put in the same sentence as Calzaghe....at 35 you can citicize his whole resume, but you can't do the same with Ward and he's only 25,,,Look at Froch who at his age defended his first title in Taylor backyard, something Calzaghe never did.. like i said it doesn't take much...It's very hard to convince people that Calzaghe was someone special....
