    In the UK the judges would give it to Calzaghe because of workrate

    In the U.S. they would give it to Ward because hes a technician

    Yeah i agree with that.


    No way this fight doesn't take place in Oakland though.

          Great question; Between top Calzaghe and Ward, I'd go for Calzaghe.
          My own answer suprising me; but it's my feeling...


          ► Froch doesn't want to face Ward, and Ward knows it.

          ■Froch says:
          1) Nobody wants to fight Andre Ward
          2) He’s awkward
          3) He knows how to spoil a fight

          ► But since his victory against Dawson, Ward believes in his chances to fantasize a KO victory over Stevenson; Which is impartially impossible.
          ► Ward is ambitious, and WBC #1 Nikola Sjekloca will not draw enough attention for HBO, but attraction is not the issue.

          ► Adonis Stevenson vs Don George, will position Stevenson into the IBF #1 spot.
          ► The purpose of all this is, even if Ward can't be part of another association ranking like the IBF, by KO Adonis Stevenson, he, HBO & Froch clan will be able to negociate a deal for the unification of the belts.

          1) In january 2013, if Adonis Stevenson loss by KO, he will have a 90 days suspension; means, he will not be eligible to fight for his mandatory bout against Froch on March 2013.

          ► The purpose of all this is, Ward hopes to position himself as the IBF mandatory challenger for Froch in March 2013, for the Unification of the WBA, WBC & IBF belts.

          1) Of course you have Rodriguez (IBF 3) and Oosthuizen (IBF 4), which both wants a title shot, but will not be able to put on the table, the amount of money HBO will propose for that bout.

          HBO will buy this (Ward-Froch 2) idea, because Ward is focussing on a new dream, being historically the First UNDISPUTED CHAMPION of the super middleweight division, 1st...


          But Adonis Stevenson is an enigma, he will beat George, Ward, Froch and also Abraham...


          Adonis Stevenson is Faster ►►►

              I have to say Calzaghe.

              People really underestimate him. He could adapt to any style, and his workrate speaks for itself. Ward would be gassed in the late rounds trying to keep up with joe.

              And i know Andre ward is looked upto like god in these parts, but i'm just going with my feeling.

                Andre Ward has wins over basic, limited plodders who were past prime in Kessler and Froch, oh also badly weight drained hype job chad dawson

                the rest of the names on his resume are pathetic jokes

                  Ward,Joe wouldn't make it easier but Ward would punish Joe for every mistake and he made a lot.Short crisp punching vs fast slaps would make for a wide decision for Ward

                    This is close. I think Ward is awesome but I would give the nod to Calzaghe.

                    Reasons being he was so unorthodox... he was basically everywhere punching from all kinds of angles.

                    His work rate was unreal... throwing upto 1000 punches a fight (thats impressive for a SMW). This goes with his unreal stamina.

                    Had a great chin so taking Wards shots wouldn't have been the biggest problem due to his own lack of defense. (pls dont mentions the flash KDs against hopkins and RJJ)

                      He's fighting like he has pincers instead of gloves.
