Bute and Calzaghe defeated Sakio Bika more decisively than Ward

[Bastian Loc]

I didn't watch the fight for the precise reason you made this thread.


Maybe I'll watch it this morning with breakfast, but Ward is one of the worst fighters I've ever seen in my life. The sooner someone knocks him out the better. There's no place in boxing for guys like him.

You say guys like Caballero and Maidana are great and then say Ward sucks.

[BetterCallSaul]

Calzaghe fairly schooled a prime Bika and would do the same to Ward.

Hmmm, lets see, do I wanna see knockouts and actual fighting?

Or do I wanna see I guy hold, heatbutt, maul all the while getting all the help he can from his paid off hometown officials.


I don't know about you, but I've had enough of these Ricky Hatton styles for one lifetime.

Another Ward "W" by mugging.... Maybe they can get his next fight in an alley in Oakland, not tell the other guy and only allow fore-arms, elbows, headbutts, and holding.

No. I've seen ALL of Joe Calzaghe's pro fights. And I haven't seen any blatently crooked refereeing.

Joe was never a dirty fighter. And he clearly won his fights, so there was no need for crooked judges.

And Joe actually had a lot of his important fights in other countries: England, Scotland, Germany, Denmark, and the USA.

then you haven't been paying attention while watching those fights

calzaghe was a great fighter but the last four years of his career were very ugly. calzaghe enjoyed premature stoppages like the stoppage he got with manfredo while bika legitimately stopped manfredo. calzaghe did a lot of backhand punching which he often got warned about by his own hometown referee.

The hopkins fight i've watched three times and he did not clearly win that fight. either man could have won by a point.

he also fought once in scotland, once in germany, once in denmark and twice in the US. Out of 46 pro fights he opted to fight 5 times across the border.

i don't mean to downgrade any of calzaghe's performances. imho a prime calzaghe was a beast. His fights with Mitchell, Sheika and Lacy showed his incredible potential

God wont allow it.

I think you are wrong to support Ward just because he's an American. You know it's not fair that he gets home advantage in every Super Six fight, so he can use crooked home referees who allow him to fight as dirty as he wants (repeatedly headbutt, use his elbows, hold his opponents arms, etc).

When did I say anything about supporting Ward in my post?

I simply pointed out that after being wrong about Abraham you had nothing better to do than try to trash Andre Ward being that your man got his ass handed to him like a rank amateur.

I guess I support Froch just cause he's an American and Maidana just because he's an American.

You're an assh*le. If anyone only supports fighters based on the color of skin or nationality it's you.

Calzaghe sucks as far as giving the fans what they want. Just worried about the 0 at the end of his record. I don't like Ward's style and all that, but at least he is going out of his way to try to fight the most dangerous guys by participating in this tournament. We need guys like Froch, Johnson, and Ward who put it all on the line and not some protected twat who wants to claim himself as a legend by beating two has beens over 40 years old.

I fell asleep after about 3 rounds so i'll have to take your word for it
