    Abraham won at most 2 rounds, no more than that. Ward's left hand was messed up against Froch, and Froch had improved entirely as a fighter after his struggles against Taylor, we both know that. Also, I didn't give Froch more than 2 rounds so......

      I just can't understand how a limited, plodding midget like Abraham managed to win at least 4 rounds against a man who would toy with a fighter like calzaghe who is absolute levels above Abraham, can you explain that to me

      Here's some ideas, Ward was "green" against Abraham, Ward "had a cold"

      or you could just start hurling abuse, that always works
      how come calzaghe lost to robin ried and got dropped in the first round by both hopkins and a shot shot roy jones?

        Abraham has game changer written on his fists. Even Froch was weary of Arthurs power.

          Wait... You're suggesting that Calzaghe would win just because Ward lost a few rounds against Abraham?

          Don't get me wrong, I don't think Ward would have beaten Calzaghe easily like some are suggesting. I'm not sure he would have beaten him at all in fact. I'd give Calzaghe a good chance.

          But you're grasping at straws and looking bad. So a lot people don't like Calzaghe and think he CAN be beaten. So what? Just stop it.

            On whose card did Abraham win four rounds? I've heard of some people giving him the first round, but that was it.

                Ward was just trolling everyone and in particular Carl Froch into believing he could be beaten.

                  Earl Hickey gave Abraham a 4 round cushion before the fight even started.

                      What more needed to be said??
